January Currently! Yay!!

I have a little downtime this morning to link up with the amazing Farley at Oh' Boy Fourth Grade for the January Currently!  I love this linky:)
Most of my thoughts today revolve around what has been going on in our house the entire Christmas break...sickness!!  ugh!

It started with...Strep throat for my 5 year old
Ear infection and nasty cold for my 2 year old
Stomach bug (down for 2-3 days) went through 10 people in my family at Christmas
We thought we were in the clear (only felt a little funny for a couple days)...
Then, had another get together and my 5 year old and myself were up all night Monday night with the stomach bug
So, we are still down but improving quickly...
My daughter is laying on the couch watching Disney Jr. (poor girl...she hates missing school)
I am loving my coffee this morning because I haven't had anything to eat or drink besides water for two days.

I had to take the day off work and we have the students coming back today....missing them:(
I am thankful for the extra day to actually get those essays graded that I have been putting off and didn't get to because of the sickness.

My One Little Word is TODAY.
I want to focus on loving the journey, not the destination.
This is not a dress rehearsal and TODAY is the only guarantee you get.
If I follow this motto, everything else just falls into place:)

As a reminder, I would like to host a giveaway in about a week.  
I am hoping many of my blogging friends would be interested in helping out with this giveaway too!!  If you are interested in helping out, please leave a comment or send me an email at lillycharlie2915@gmail.com.  Make sure I can reply back to you and it is not "noreplyblogger".  Thanks!  Cheers to a New Year!!

  3. My little family kept passing pink eye around before Christmas. It was horrible! As soon as we thought we had it kicked some one else came down with it.
    Your motto is perfect and I couldn't agree more. I need to remember it this year. Thank you.
    I would love to help with your giveaway if you would like.

  7. I of course will help you with your giveaway ;) and your word is even better than mine!! There really is no day like today... you never know when your time will end <3 I feel like that's an understatement of 2012.. even just today one of my old students died. He just passed away suddenly. Its so unfair....
    I hope you have a wonderful wonderful year Holly.. you definitely deserve it! And stay healthy :)
