For Deeds

 This week, there is an exciting new way to help Deeds! If you are just tuning in to Deeds' story, please read this before continuing with this week's update. Krispy Kreme has joined in the effort to raise funds for Deeds' custodial account. For a very low $12, you can purchase a Krispy Kreme card, which can be used 10 times to buy a dozen, get a dozen glazed free.

Seriously, just writing about this is making my mouth water. I LOVE Krispy Kreme. Who doesn't? And for that price, and for this cause, this is a deal you simply cannot pass up!

To purchase the Krispy Kreme card and support Donuts for Deeds, or for more information,  please leave a comment HERE or email dog4deeds@gmail.com. Deeds' parents are willing to mail these cards out of state. This is a win/win. Help Deeds, get donuts.

Know a college student that could use a smile? This is a great idea for a Valentine's Day "care package" to send to them! Perfect for teachers on Valentine's Day, too.. and you have to admit,it would be a LOT more desirable than the stale lollipop stuck through the included Teacher Valentine in that box of Barbie cards you got at the Wal Mart for $3.88. Also consider your child's therapists, and other service providers. These people are the ones who help us to help our monsters, and there is not a big enough gift in the world for that.

Make a list of all the people you would like to surprise with a Krispy Kreme card and order them today.It's quick and easy, and supports a cause near and dear to all our hearts.

Thanks, Krispy Kreme, for literally sweetening the deal!

Sunrise

The photographer of this gorgeous sunrise was so moved by it, he stopped the truck he was driving just to take the picture. I don't know the photographer, or the location, but it's the closest to MY sunrise today that  I could find.

This morning, after a rude 530am awakening by #6, I couldn't get back to sleep. So I decided to work a little. Know what happens here at 7am? Sunrise. The most gorgeous sunrise ever, in shades of deep purple and fuschia. It brought to mind this quote:

"Tomorrow is fresh, with no mistakes in it."
— L.M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables) 

Well, it's officially tomorrow, and I haven't made any mistakes yet.  I'm kind of liking that I haven't made any mistakes yet! No one is awake to holler for Mom, there are no new messes to clean up, no one is having a meltdown, and the only sound besides the tapping of keys I'm making is the occasional hiss of the coffee pot.  This is pretty groovy!

But... I'm still allergic to getting up early. I may have to get a shot after enjoying THIS one so much!

Today's question: When is YOUR quiet time? Mine is usually very, VERY late at night. It's when I can accomplish the most.

This is a picture of the tail end of MY sunrise... and it doesn't do it any justice, at all.
