Yeah? Well....this isn't so bad, is it?? Worse than I thought, but not horrible. I can still get showers taken!! LOL

Well, Hello there!
Anything happening at your house?
I did manage to get Momma's Christmas tree out of the front window today. Major accomplishment!! All of a sudden I'd had it up to my eyebrows with looking at all these Christmas things cluttering up my living room, and even though I didn't have time to work on it properly, I did set on in with working on it and got 3 surfaces cleaned off and decorated before heading in to work.
Now, if only I could get those last few presents into the mail!!! LOL I never used to be this useless!!

Melanie and Jon sent us a new photo album of the kids. It came yesterday and I spent more than a few minutes sitting with it. THANKS Melanie! There were some shots on there from the SC vacation that I don't remembering seeing before....you all must be hording photos!

The kids were all color coordinated for their Holiday shots. Grace and Greta were wearing plaid jumpers, Marie a Santa dress and Xander sweater.....am wondering when she's going to get around to posting some of these onto her own blog??

Fun to see the Santa photo....Mrs Santa should have been requested to NOT do a goofy face, though I can see where it could be considered fun....and, poor girls....think the twins just get too excited and anxious while Marie is still in that "I don't want anything to do with these strange lookin' people...get me outta here!!" Xander had a super smile! Melanie, of course, had her signature smile....

She's probably right...I should have let her see about being a model....though...I still hear how they have to sleep their way to the top....I was just trying to protect her!! Surely there could have been another way...

Happy New Year to each and everyone of you that may come across this post. My wish is for you and yours to have a new year with you able to take advantage of every shining opportunity the good Lord opens for your good. That you might not hide your talents and gifts because of any sense of being inadequate for the situation. May you seize your day!!

Trying to make plans with friends to go out and eat can sometimes be a pain in the rear end!!!

Christmas is almost here and I'm trying to figure out how my scheduling didn't work. I made lists, but I think I ended up laying them aside while I played online. I also spent some time with my poor tootsies propped up trying to recover from work or shopping. None of which got presents purchased or wrapped...Holiday foods decided upon or baked, either. No parties attended this time....oops...take that back...went to the bookstore's party. Almost forgot! LOL

Anyway...I'm needing to send a check to Melanie for Marie's present....get the kids' clothes wrapped and into the mail...guess they'll now get those after Christmas. And I need to wrap all these presents I have sitting in little stacks allllll over my living room. They're there because I was attempting to "see" what I had and what not....did discover a few forgotten purchases. So...still need to get those done tomorrow. I never mail Vicky's presents, but this year I think I will.

Scott's off work this week, so I'll get him to make a delivery run at some point. Guess we might need to discuss this. It appears that I need that week back that was lost due to bronchitis!! LOL

OH...and, lets not forget the Holiday foods....I think I'm just not going to do any....though...I sure miss it when I don't. Fudge, cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, and cakes and pies, too. UMmmm...might have to reconsider this!! LOL

We don't have a large tree, either...which isn't very satisfying...maybe I'll bring one home tomorrow and sit it up for a couple of months?? Don't misunderstand...I have Momma's small tabletop tree sitting close by. But, it isn't lit. And, a tree without lights just misses, somehow...ya'know? sigh...Really, really hard to put presents around a 2ft tree....

Checking In

This is driving me nuts because it won't allow me to fix my fonts the way I want to. Maybe I'll be able to switch them out after I'm done during editing.

Ah...well...checking in today with you all. Nothing much going on today other than some laundry and posting before heading in to the bookstore. First time at work this week. heh heh She called yesterday and announced she is TIRED of working by herself and doesn't want to work anymore...ever again. No more vacations for me ever. I warned her that little Baby Setters is due very soon. I doubt that Kelly will carry on late, or even on time. I think she'll go early. But....maybe not. If Lisa is lucky Kelly will go at least to term.

Christmas preparations are coming along....slowly. One of my best friends came this week to help me stay focused on everything pertaining to Christmas....in particular the shopping for gifts. I have a list now, and have some finished. Well...finished as in purchased, not finished as in wrapped or delivered.

Decorations are going very slow. I have towels out...and three of my mugs...the box I thought held the rest of my mugs wasn't the correct box. I did pull Momma's tree out of the closet. I keep it unpacked so I can get to it easier. Right now it's on the desk, but I'm thinking it won't stay there. No big tree...no lights...no knickknacks...so far...Scott did get out our large front door wreath. I can't let him put up the smaller window ones, because he'd destroy the little room trying to get back to the window....that's a no-no!!

OK....time's wasting....need to get the jeans finished drying and myself cleaned up for work. Will check in another day...bye...
