A Moment for Me
It is a reminder that we all need to take time for ourselves, sometimes we get caught up in the everyday routine, we forget about us and we mom's are the ones that keep the family together.
I have Aroma Therapy Candles I use. I put them around the tub and on the sink counter turn the lights off and I usually pray....this is my quiet time and I spend a few minutes with my Heavenly Father.
So remember take time for you MOM!!
Happy Thanksgiving

The Pampered Chef®
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups water
1 jar (12 ounces) chocolate fudge ice cream topping
1/2 teaspoon Pantry Double Strength Vanilla --
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
Powdered sugar
Vanilla ice cream or thawed, frozen whipped topping (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray bottom of Executive Family (12-in.) Skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
In Classic Batter Bowl, prepare brownie mix according to package directions for cake-like brownies. Spread batter over bottom of skillet. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over batter.
Combine water and ice cream topping in Large Micro-Cooker® ; whisk until well blended using Stainless Whisk.
Microwave, covered, on HIGH 5-6 minutes or until mixture comes to a full boil.
Whisk until blended; stir in vanilla. (Mixture will be thin.)
Carefully pour ice cream topping mixture over brownie batter in a circular pattern.
Bake, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until sauce is bubbling around edges. (Top of brownie will appear very saucy, but will thicken as it cools.) Using Silicone Oven Mitt, carefully remove skillet from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack.

Happy Thursday
I am back at work and the boys are adjusting to being in Utah.......I can say I don't miss the humidity that was in Fla. :)) I am leaving this job on August 8th :(( (I really love this job) Gas has gotten so ridiculously priced driving from Logan to Ogden isn't working for me.
I have a new job as a Office manager and will start there on the 11th of Aug. I am excited about that as I feel this will be a great opportunity for me and I hope a great assest to their company as well. I really like the (Tom) he seems to be a nice guy and look forward to working with him and his wife along with the other employees there.
I have to share on Monday I came home from work and my yard was mowed the weeds pulled and the trash out no limbs or debries in the yard I was so impressed my boys did that for me. I guess they do love me LOL......
Saturday I am having a yard sale and what I don't sale will go to the "DI" Deseret Industries its like the Salvation Army or Goodwill. I am cleaning up and less is better for me. Plus I will have room for my sons stuff :)).
Have a blessed day,
Cyndie

Wednesday July 2, 2008
He is doing well, worrying a little about home, finding a job, school, etc.... I told him to relax, all will fall in to place. He will be eating dinner at David S. Baxters Home on Monday for Family Home Evening. In case no one knows who that is he is a Seventy in the LDS church and very spiritual man.
I am looking forward to all the stories when he gets home..... He wrote in one his emails as a reply about me getting the first HUG when he got off the plane. He said there was no question about it, I get the first hug, lol. He said I was his Sunshine and it is raining there today. I feel very blessed to have 2 wonderful sons that love me so much.
My youngest son just got a job (all his doing). He wants to have money to buy stuff in Fla for his brother, and of course him too! :) Other than chores, he is the best kid. LOL, I think that it is normal - most teenagers don't like to clean and do chores. I need to get some work done as I have a busy day at the office. Til tomorrow.
Have a Blessed day.

Sunday is the Lord's day
Shedding all our selfish ways and putting on His skin...
understanding who we are in relationship to Him.
Giving up our own control, forgetting our own needs...
being Christ-like in our hearts begins with you and me.
