Its the most... Buisiest Time of the Year!!!

Wow. December has flown by. This year has flown by. As have the last seven. My baby, turned seven yesterday. She promised me when she was little, that she would stay that way. I am very disappointed in her for fibbing.

What can you do. Time keeps on ticking and there is nothing you can do to stop that. Its a wonderfully sad thing. Some days I long for a house to myself with no pitter patter (if that is what you want to call it) and other times when they are away I ache for them to be home and making some noise so badly and wonder how my life will go on without that same pitter patter that drives me insane.

Not only did my baby grow up overnight some how, but this is the month of Christmas! Santa is coming in just four more short days!!! How exciting. Of course the older two girls no longer believe, but the little ones do and the wonder and excitement is so cool. We went to see Santa the other day. He was spot on with the boy. Telling him he was proud of how good he was doing in school, never getting into trouble or causing problems... He said, "but your ROOM.... Oh your ROOM..." LOL. I tell you what at that moment I almost believed he had been to my house!!!

That night the boy went and made an attempt to even clean his room (thank you santa)

We decorated cookies with friends the other night. A little Christmas tradition we have started the past three years or so. Its much fun and I hope that we can continue to do it for years to come! It was so much easier this year, I set up a big table in the garage and let the kids go to town. When it was over I just swept and that was that! I love having a home of my own, and a garage.

Its been six months and I still back out of the driveway going... "WOW. That is OUR home." It is an awesome feeling.

I have much to be thankful for this Christmas season. We have jobs, our family, our friends and our health all going for us. I feel truly blessed with the love and friendship others have shown to us this year, and I hope that everyone has a fantastic Holiday Season.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Its not always 50/50

Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter. So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well. God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family. So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

Done Growing

Well soon enough it will be the start of a new school year. Sooner for my younger two, than for my older two. So today we went to get a few things that will be needed. Some shoes, socks and backpacks. Mommy needed a new pair of shoes too, I wear mine out pretty quickly being on my feet as a waitress. So my son is about the pickiest shoe person out there. Nothing fits. We have to try on like every.single.shoe. in his size before he can choose. Its irritating and stressful. Hannah was pretty easy although she did not take the cheaper "on sale" pair I liked best. Either way she was quick and painless. So then mom's turn. I put on a pair of 6.5 I wear those or 7's depending on the shoe. I wanted to try those new shoes with the curved bottom. Anyway... I get the 6.5 on and Hannah feels for my toes. "Oh you better get a size bigger" She says. "Those wont last the whole school year!" I told her I did not have to worry about outgrowing my shoes. My ...
