Teaching Mitzvah

Tuesday was national day of doing nice things for others...

eg Mitzvah. (good deeds or act of kindness)

Like we really needed a national day for this!!
The children brought Hannukah tissue holders to the J
Every summer they enjoy camp there.

They brought tissue holders to the Karate teachers. (tute on my blog)

My turn:  Mitzvah for myself..as I went to the Guild holiday party.

My contribution, potluck bowl covers...(tute link on my blog)
 Of course I do not have one tidy place in my entire house for a photo....so disorganized am I, grrr.

I bought a few bowls from the dollar store for cover display.
All wrapped it in a half yard of holiday fabric!!

I was so glad I went.  Saw so many friends and actually felt a bit human again.

Little Lynsey has an impulsive naughty mouth.  I ask her if she does this at school.
No..she says somberly, I would get on Rowdy Red and you would be called and I would be embarrassed.
It is IN me at school, she says, but I save it till I get home and feel safe.

Smart Lynsey...I think all my grands have AD/HD like their father..
Yesterday was visitation with their father.
Chrystal Meth does a job on an addict.
I was so anxious about it. I love him so and it is hard to watch him go down.
Kids were thrilled, noticing nothing askew.
We met at McDonald's playground for an hour or so.
I brought my sister, niece and Stephanie with me for support.
This takes a lot out of me emotionally, but it is the right thing to do.

To cheer us...work is starting on the Christmas present from Granddaddy and me.

A tree house...soooo much fun.
