January CURRENTLY


Oh My GOSH
HAPPY 2014...
it is 12:22 am here deep in the heart of TEXAS
as you can see we had BIG PLANS to bring in the new year!!!
HUGE!!!
anyways we always celebrate NEW YEARS like a bunch of blue haired grannies...
not Golden Girl Grannies...
tired old grannies...
we usually just stay at home or go to my mom and dads (about 5 blocks away)
so to keep with tradition we went to Mom and Dad's house
we actually did our Christmas too because...
long story SHORT
my little family of 3 spent the real Christmas DAY with the FLU BUG!!!
oh what fun!!!
so after our required quarantine
we did our family Christmas today!!!
Although I missed my big family Christmas,
where EVERYBODY comes over to my Gpa and Gma's house
 and maybe I cried a little
OK I cried A LOT
but in the midst of my TEARY blurry vision of watching Hawaii Living for the 5th time...
I realized I am blessed to spend Christmas with my little family of 3...
even if we were also sharing Christmas with a SWINE VIRUS...
we were together
and some can't say that
I was being a baby... selfish really!!!
so I got over that and
I continued to disinfect hubs again... he had it the worst
AND I may or may have not sprayed him with lysol as he slept...
SHHHHHH!!!

OK that is enough about us...
I know what you are waiting for....

and now for JANUARY's CURRENTLY...
brought to you by my BLOGGY FRIEND...

if you remember my mama was stuck between 2 designs for the December CURRENTLY...
so she said I should use this one for January 
and I always listen to my mama!!!
some of these are pretty self explanatory
like listening... hubs was hungry
loving... my OLW is FORWARD... keep looking forward... don't look back... don't dwell...keep your eyes on the goal... move forward
thinking... I love my life
wanting.... my house is a mess... with Christmas and Sickness it looks like Mr. Clean + Legos blew up in my house
needing... I am in charge of a PD for the Mon. we get back... have I started on it YET...
ahhhh NOPE... there is always tomorrow
or the next day
memory... my memory for this Christmas is the FLU!!!

and now it is your turn!!!
The only rules I have for CURRENTLY is
follow the RULE of 3
which is
once you link up... you must goto the 2 blogs before you and leave a nice meaningful comment and then goto the one after your link and do the same...
PLEASE leave meaningful comments :) share the love and spread the love
and the other rule is....
your link in the linky party should go DIRECTLY to your CURRENTLY POST in your blog...
not your store, not your products, not your generic blog address... it should be your CURRENTLY POST url

ok I think that about covers it...
and if you need to know how to do this....

here are some links....

OK now it is time to link up!!!!
