2 Cups flour
1/2 teas baking soda
1/2 teas salt
1 Table finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons
fresh lemon juice
1/2 c unsalted butter, room temp (I used salted)
1 c granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teas vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, ad lemon juice and beat until combined. With mixer on low, beat in flour mixture.
2. Drop dough by heaping tablespoons, 1 inch apart, onto two baking sheets. Bake until edges are golden, 15-20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool 2 minutes on sheets, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Spread cookies with Lemon Glaze and let set, about 1 hour.

thankful
why are we not blogging? i know i could probably blog at least 2 times a week, but i don't. why? i bet it's a thing called facebook. ;) lol it's been a while since i've done a thankful list. i tend to not realize what i am thankful for when everything seems so wrong. why is it so easy to look at the negative rather then the positive?
i am so very thankful for:
1. certain church programs that have helped us out a lot recently. =)
2. for the girls that came to my card class this past thursday. i don't think they will ever know what that meant to my "self worth" if that makes sense to anyone...
3. for those that are excited that i am coming home again and actually want to see me!!!
4. that i have the opportunity to go home again and enjoy a real fall season.
5. that my new niece Janee Lee has made it into this world safely. (being just over 35 and being high risk and all) ;)
6. that sytycd is on for the fall.
7. that thing called facebook. i love being in touch with old friends. LOL!
8. believe it or not. i'm thankful soccer season has started. i love watching my kids play and cheering them on! (brandon is behind the girl kicking the ball.. she is only 12 and is GOOD)
9. for the fire fighters.... once again it's fire season and only i panic and worry it seems like. they risk their lives to protect others and THAT is amazing & so unselfish to me. a new fire has begun behind us. (too close for me!)
10. for my new found independence. i just need to embrace it and run.... ;) (yes.. u & me mandy.. melting pot)

1st day...
This is a sad day. My baby's went to school. Oldest into High School, youngest in kindergarten. My heart hurts. I know you have the same fears as I do. What if the teachers aren't nice to my kids, what if Brandon gets lost, what if they get picked on, what if Brenna gets scared today... and I'm not there. Brandon just went to kindergarten yesterday. I swear he did.
Just dance....
