ZOOGIVING

Not even a joke that the Bear asked me if I am thankful for Diet Coke? In keeping with my "honesty is the best" policy, I said of course! This week has been a challenge. Lots of losses, lives cut way too short. BUT, baby Donahue has got to be ready to come out any minute...and the tides shall turn! I was down at the Harborview center this evening-again locals-please hit festival of trees-it benefits UPARC and your kids will love it, and the sunset was beyond gorgeous! Zoogiving will officially begin in the morning when we head to Winter Park to see those creatures and then have dinner with the Great Grandfather. I will be up all night long if I were to list the things/people I am thankful for...but in short-Special thanks to the Shark for picking me up after I passed out and taking me to the ER (special thanks to the ER, I now crave IV fluids). Don't panic, Mama got a little exhausted and fainted...and no I am not pregnant. To Bear and Monkey there are no words...I am in awe of the blessings you are to Daddy and me. To my family and extended family thank you for the courage everyone has shown since August-The Queen Bee is proud. For the Owl, who teaches the creatures lessons I would never even think of...you are the best! And to my friends...I am beyond thankful for your listening skills and hopefully reading skills...things are starting to "fly right" as one of you says, and I am learning to enjoy the ride. (Presently going nuts that I can;t do new paragraph, Dianne-HELP!). Count your blessings-and call/txt me..we will be on the I4 safari!

Sunday Night at the Zoo

All the creatures are quiet. Bear and Monkey in their rooms, Shark on the couch-won't you all have fun figuring out their names? During this weird "economic" time-we made a family outing to Hooters for lunch joined by the Tampa Zoo crew. If you think the economy is weird try watching your 3yr old walk up to a poster of some Hooters girls and STARE! Havent decided if I am going to post photos here. Shark's Household Security is skeptical-imagine that! But really the kid was glued to the poster and the majority of the restaurants patrons were dying laughing. Ok don't know how to make a new paragraph here- In other local news please visit the Festival of Trees where you can see my tree decorating at work! Happy Turkey Week!

The Zoo is Open

There is no such thing as a perfect time. And when you overorganize, overplan and overshare..there may never be time. So I have stolen a few minutes here to set this up and promise to try to keep you all entertained!
