I'm tall... For an Elf

 My dearest mother found this "darling" hat the other day and HAD to buy it for me. It is an elf hat, with a jingle bell on top. Whats more? When you push this magical button the bell part of the hat goes back and forth (like a dog tail wagging) and it sings a song about how "WE ARE SANTA'S ELVES" and oh yes, it also lights up. Yes siree.

 So my dearest mother seen this hat and apparently KNEW I would love to have it. Don't get me wrong, its cute, but oh my. I wore it to work today and I was the life of the party, they were all laughing WITH me right???

 So after work, I wanted to join the land of crazy folks and make a last ditch run to the store... Well this elf hat, had been on my head for the last 4 hours, and my hair underneath was worse, and more embarrassing than the hat. So into Sam's Club for just a few last minuet tid bits I went... Elf hat on my head.

 I got a few funny looks, many smiles (yay Christmas spirit!) It was a great time. Sam's was busy with the hustle bustle of Christmas last minueters :OP~~

 I get into the check out lane. Cart filled with a giant thing of cheese balls, almonds, hot cocoa mix, rolls, sugar snap peas, mushrooms and a six pound can of peanut butter. Yeah, just the essentials... I get in line behind a lady with 2 very cute, red and white stripped dressed little ones.

 As I am standing there I see her lean over to her little ones and whisper "Oh lookie! One of Santa's Elves are out shopping!!!" Of course both kids, eyes wide look straight at me and wave and smile... Oh BOY! I am santa's elf. My hat even says so (thanks mom).

 So I smile and wave back, being the happy little elf that I am... The mom explains how I must be getting ready for Santas departure and getting some last moment things... Oh yes exactly, santa needs his almonds and peanut butter and all....  So all was going well, until the little girl says "ALL of santa's elves are that small!"

 I felt I HAD to tell her... "Oh no, actually I am one of the TALLEST of Santa's elves!" HA! I am, afterall, tall, for an elf.

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...
