I have been sitting down, intending to blog for the past week, and feel like I have nothing of interest to share. Therefore, I'll share some cool highlights from my week.
*The mayor told me I look like a teeny-bopper. Ten years ago, this comment would have bugged me. Now? I think it's awesome and I hope I get that kind of comment in another 10 years! I told him it was Mary Kay products. ;)
*I attended a grant-writing workshop. It was a 2 day event, hosted by our Iowa State extension office. Our extension person received a grant to do this training. Therefore, there was no cost to attendees. !!!!! It was quite informative. I am digesting the information and trying to focus on one vision, instead of 17 different ones for a businesses, programs, school, community and trails. I left feeling empowered. It's been a long time, since I was in a classroom setting. I was befuddled by the battle, in my mind. Surprise, surprise - my answers to questions were not in agreement with the general population of the classroom, when we would be asked to stand for one of two answers. Know what? I was right approximately 90% of the time. I learned a lot, and it was an excellent confidence builder, for me. I'm a SAHM. I do not have a college education. I am still pretty smart. It was good to be challenged and to feel like I "passed". Of course, now, it's time to put my new knowledge to practice. I'll keep you posted.
*Jacob told me that I'm a "good mommy".
*I got to watch the Oscars.
*We have a family that is going to rent the house in Monona. !!!! They are willing to rent-to-own. This process will take a year and we are hoping this will work greatly for them and us!
*We're on a countdown until tomorrow afternoon, when Daddy starts vacation time! T-30 hours and 10 minutes. Booyah!
Enthralling, isn't it? :) Did ya hold on?
