End of the Year 2009

Preparing to end the year at a friends home to play games in a few hours. I've made teri-yaki meatballs and salsa and chips. Rather international, but at least my family will eat. Hubby is paying bills, and the printer ran out of ink, and refused to print out our last years taxes that we were trying to rush to the bookkeeper. Add in quick trip the office supply store today. I know tonight will be a welcome relief!

Last night the family saw Julie and Julia on dvd. I learned blogs are for writers. And that I wish I could cook. OOHHHHH, there are those words again. "I wish I could __".

I believe you can do anything you put your mind to. So why do I still say "I wish I could". When I began homeschooling, that was the mantra of non-homeschooling families, "I wish I could" or more often it was "I could never do that". Why is that terrible critic allowed to even speak! Shut up already and let's start talking truth. You could do this or that if you wanted to. Just face it, most people don't want to. What they really mean is they wish they could effortlessly just have their dreams whether it is to homeschool, write, cook, tithe, save, etc., etc. For Julie it was tremendous effort and determination. She absolutely met the "impossible" challenge. So what I mean to say is I wish I could cook already....
