I have the most wonderful friends and family!

 I just wanted to say that. No matter what I am a very lucky person. I have a wonderful husband, beautiful healthy children. My mom is the most wonderful and generous mom anyone could ask for, My in laws are always there for us, no matter how needy we have been. My friend Pam is the bestest friend, always there to listen and take my side, or tell me I am wrong if I am (which I am usually not) Its awesome to know that I am surrounded by this awesome set of people. How did I get so lucky?

 Christmas weekend was wonderful. We had three days in reality, and still have to see my mom tomorrow! Friday I made dinner at home, a turkey and several sides. The kids opened the gifts they got each other, and went to bed early waiting for Santa!

 They were up at 3am and sent back to bed. 9 was when they got up to open gifts. Everyone got something on the list that they wanted, which was awesome! Santa did good! Christmas afternoon we had Linner at Pams house with her family and some friends. It was a really nice time. Just sitting, celebrating and chatting and the kids all playing. It was awesome.

 Today, the day after Christmas we went to Tim's dads. It was awesome of course, more presents (I got the lens I have wanted for a while!) and another fantastic dinner of course! All was just so right with the world this weekend. I am so blessed to be able to share the holidays with such wonderful people!

 Tomorrow is back to work time. I am so looking forward to it (please note the sarcasm) I have, once again, pissed off my coworkers. So I am looking forward to this Monday, more so than I have any previous Monday of my life. I love working with someone who's pissed off. It makes for a very interesting day. Hopefully everyone can just be mature about it and get over themselves. If not, oh well! Such is life. I am done trying to be super nice and walk on eggshells to keep people happy. I am who I am, and I am not going to be who someone else thinks I should be just to keep them happy. Not.Going.To.Do.It.

 One of my new years things is going to be, to stand up for myself. I am important, and MY happiness should be at the top of my list, not someone elses. I cannot believe that its almost New Years. 2011. Wow. This year FLEW by, no joke.

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 ...
