friday's goals

  • sprinkle some of these pretty "babies" all over my baking [whoever invented sprinkles must be a very happy person and I thank them very much]
  • try to make at least 3 people smile today
  • embrace the word "unique" [ I soooo love that word]
  • stop whining about the weather [even though I had to unpack my down filled parka....do lunch duty on the frozen playground where my runny nose drips froze instantly to my face{remember my nose is running like a facet.....not a pretty picture} .......fight with 101 broken zippers on elementary student's jackets....including MINE......I am no zipper expert....I did not go to zipper fixing school.......just a little whining...but I promise no more whining today......no not me.....no sirree ]
  • adopt a child that loves to clean up after themselves, cook, do dishes and clean the bathrooms [if you have a child that does all this while smiling and whistling a happy tune could I have them shipped to me ASAP.....is this whining?]
  • remember to thank you all for your well wishes concerning my flu/cold so........

THANK YOU SWEET FRIENDS

for more Friday Pretties visit sweet Joyce here

remember to make your weekend magical

I think you would already have achieved you second goal. And I don't blame you for whining about the weather. Wait until winter hits here, and watch me go. And we don't even get snow.

Warm hugs,

Hi Koralee!
Oh I'm so sorry you're still dealing with your cold. So many people here and all around the world have colds or the flu! Yikes!
I do hope you are better soon!
Elementary school teachers work so hard. When I substituted {in those early days} I was the most tired when I subbed for elementary school teachers. The students all need their mommy!
Smiling about adopting a child that helps at home ~
Although I helped my mother, I had no idea how hard my mother worked at home until I had my own home. She must be winking at me from heaven ♥
Bless you dear Koralee*
Wishing you a cozy weekend ~ and no zippers!
x*o*x*o

ps. Love your profile picture * so pretty!

Awww, Koralee, I didn't know you were sick. I hope you feel better very soon! And oh how I know about those zippers... And how I'll fight you for that kid who can do all those things while whistling and smiling. I mean, there can't be that many Cinderellas and Snow Whites around, eh? Maybe we should go recruit at Disney...

Hearts Turned said...

Sweet Koralee...so sorry you're still feeling unwell. So kind of you to go and help the young ones with their broken zippers while you're sick.

I would certainly NEVER think of you as a whiner, my friend!

Can't wait to see what you bake with those pretty sprinkles all over them...I wish I could get the pretty dragees over here--never see them--you're so lucky! My youngest, Annie, completely agrees with your feelings about sprinkles. They're just about her favorite thing on the planet. And if I'd let her sprinkle them on her meatloaf, she would.

Feel better, dear friend...lots of sleep...lots of water!

Koralee,
I am sorry you are still having trouble with the cold. I think they are almost as miserable as anything! The zipper school made me laugh. I was a special ed teacher for many years and dealt with a lot of zippers. I would send you my dear daughter but she is still messy at thirty-one. She has been living with us while getting her MSW and cleaned her room beautifully the other day. Jud asked her if she didn't want it that way all the time and she said..."Yes." Can you believe it took this long.

I give up ;-)

Big hugs, take care, loved the sprinkles!!!!!

jeanette from everton terrace said...

Oh I was whining yesterday, was better today but you've inspired me - NONE tomorrow. Now I am indeed wondering about the invention of happy sprinkles :)

Carrie @ Cottage Cozy said...

Frozen snot....now that takes the cake. Poor Koralee...okay no more whining...you are right! But I do hope you are felling 100% soon!

I Love Pretty Little Things said...

You have some very ambitious goals! And, good ones too. :)
I need to try to follow your lead on the no whining about the weather- but I don't think that I can stop. Snow, snow, snow...whine, whine, whine- I Can't Take It ANYMORE! I am ready for Spring, Spring, Spring! :)
Hope that you are feeling much better. And, as always, Thank your for joining Friday Pretties. Your blog always cheers me on!
Hugs to you,
Joyce

YES, YES, and I whined a bit when I came in with frozen lips!!!! I had on THREE COATS KORALEE! Yep, I am tiny, so I can wear three coats....but WOW...oh precious, are you feeling better? My pal out here in town who I was supposed to visit last night is down with the flu too....my students are sick, but I AM STILL STANDING! AHHHHH!

Helen Philipps said...

Hi Koralee Thanks so much for popping over to my blog the other day! It's so great to find your blog - it is sooo pretty! Hope your cold gets better soon and the weather warms up. Have a great weekend. Helen x

Heidi said...

I'm off to a rough start this morning with my boys fighting....will work for the smiles. have a good day!

Monica said...

You have already made me smile today, so you can cross one off of your list. Hang in there, the weekend is almost here and then you can take it easy. Enjoy sprinkling your baked goods. I agree sprinkles are the best.

Susan said...

Sweet Koralee,
My 3 yr. old grandson LOVES to Swiffer and sweep and use wipes to shine and polish things! "I cleanin' Gamma." :)
I do wonder how long the fun in that will last! Oh, but I couldn't bear to ship him off anywhere. I'm holding on to these precious years for dear life! :)
There have been times I'd like to ship all of my students' winter coats to Timbuktu! When they don't have to put on snow suits for recess they actually get 15 more minutes to play! Zippers and shoelaces make me grateful to the inventor of Velcro! teehee
I do hope you're soon completely recovered from the dreaded cold and that sweet tea with honey and lemon has done the trick!
I smile every time I visit, dear friend. May you find joy and delight in a happy baking day.
I do agree that whoever thought of sprinkles must be a kindred spirit!
Blessings!

Susan said...

PS A little whining is cathartic. :)

Ruth Yoder said...

alright...i'll go bake something! and get my baby up from her nap! Where do you get all those cool Sprinkles??

fernandflora said...

It's refreshing to hear a little whining from you - the soul who is continually cheerful. Do it any 'ol time! Good to know you're human too. :) Hope that drippy nose goes alway swiftly and happy baking!!

Pinecone said...

Koralee,

The cold does get a bit tiresome...it makes us feel better to whine a little right?!
Hope you have a fab weekend! Are you going to watch the Oscars? Critiquing dresses is always fun.

Alexandra MacVean said...

"...try to make 3 people smile today". I like that and although I don't feel well and am blue, I will straighten up my shoulders and try do so!! Thank you! =)

Dogwood said...

I love you blog.
I made more than three people smile today at my pilates class. All special ladies were there with me.
Have a wonderul Friday.
You are a beauty.

Gloria said...

So sorry you are feeling a little "under the weather"! :( I hope you will heal quickly and that you can cozy up and get rest for the weekend.

Loved your goals!!! :) I had to chuckle about you not being a zipper expert. How many mornings as a mom, and grandma have I struggled with zipping up those crazy zippers, as we are in a hurry to get out that door!! It's enough to drive a lady mad I tell you!! Hang in there dear Koralee...:) God sees every single time you tend to those sweet children. You are going to be rewarded with these kind words, "A job well done, my good and faithful servant!" when we meet our Maker! :)

XOXO Gloria

Oh I think this is my second or even third time that I am your 51st commenter!!! I just love your new profile picture, my beautiful and lovely friend! Oh Koralee, WE MADE IT TO FRIDAY! Tonight, I was supposed to attend our school's 20th anniversary. A HUGE GALA is being held at a fancy hotel by our school, but my eyes are so tired; I am not going. But I so love being tucked away here, in my new surroundings and just LISTENING TO THE SILENCE...actually, I think that might be my next post. But my eyes are so dry right now that I can barely see what I am typing. I was speaking to another teacher today and she is experiencing the same thing...dry eyes, swollen and blurry vision. It must be the cold....so I send you my wishes dear heart for a cozy evening, replenishing your mind and soul....I will be thinking of you as I sip my tea tonight towards dream land!!!!! BISES, Anita

Bring Pretty Back said...

Poor poor you! ) : Feel better soon!

Maria Medeiros said...

I hope you feel better soon. I've been sick for a few days now. Feel better soon!!! :)

June said...

Oh you made me laugh with this one. Not about your runny nose but about all the broken zippers. Isn't that how always is on the coldest days?
Wishing you luck on the adoption.hehe (and if you find one, I hoe it has a twin)
big hugs

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

GOOD MORNING!!! Oooops, too loud for this time of the morning, but I just had to come to visit you and tell you how excited I am for next FALL! This will be a MUST-DO, MUST-SEE event...SEEING YOU. And yes, you are so right; I think that after all these years, I think I am finally listening to God's gentle voice to tell me, "SLOW DOWN." And I am glad that I have chosen to do so. We simply cannot do everything, and that is right with me. So today, I will savor my quiet time here at home. I will be thinking of you BOTH as you get well, all snuggled up and wrapped up in something pretty and pink...and maybe a slice of carrot cake or a sprinkled cup cake!!!

MUCH LOVE MY FRIEND, Anita

jane said...

My boys definately don't clean up after themselves...but they do leave sweet notes under my pillow.....swings and roundabouts hey
love Jane x x x x x

Unknown said...

Hope your feeling better soon Koralee, Loving your sprinkles, Have a sweet day!

Merci-Notes said...

Koralee, I have a tip for zippers that are stuck! Chapstick! I am thinking something colorless to decrease any staining possibility.
rub the chap stick on the zipper teeth.

SPRINKLES! I have to tell you that I love the word soo much that we also call red pepper flakes "sprinkles! "Oh honey, would you like some sprinkles on your Lou Malnati's pizza?"

Flu/cold... mine lasted for about a month. some friends went to Dr's and had antibiotics. REST when you need it! This is a "MOM"S" orders! From one mom to another! :)

xo,
Mary
