december

(Okay, I couldn’t post the other day... I’ll cram everything together because this stupid machine is flaking out again…and so am I.
It may be several more days before I can muster up the patience to do this again.)

This month seems to be flying by almost as fast as November did.
I enjoyed a trip to L’burg with the boys on 1st and 2nd. I was able to do some scrapbooking AND attend a ladies night. It was a nice break from routine.

I’ve been working 20 hours each week… and sticking to my guns about my departure time at 11:30pm. The other employees have generally been leaving around 2am. One night they stayed till 4am!! Can you imagine!?!?!
Even my 20 hours seems to be a lot this year. Christmas shoppers are SO needy. Ugh.

I have not shopped very much at all this year. I can remember the rush and panic of other years as I attempted to get gifts for everyone under the sun. But this year, I am keeping it simple. I have purchased a few gifts for us, and a few polyanna gifts for our family And I’ll do a few little teacher gifts. It’s been such a nice year. Not that I don’t enjoy giving to everyone… we just don’t have the money or time to go “all out” this year. And it has made things a lot less stressful.
I’m learning new ways each year to make things go smoother.

T and the boys went out to cut a Christmas tree this past weekend. They picked a great little tree that fits perfectly in our little living room. AND they decorated it while I was at work on Saturday night. I missed the process of decorating with the kids but I’ve got to be honest that it sure was nice that I didn’t have to fool with all of that. T was hard at work this weekend picking up the slack from my over-busyness.

I was busy with important things this past weekend:-)
I was privileged to be able to go and help out with the triplets on Friday night and Saturday. I had a great time!! M and C are terrific parents and I really like to brag about how organized they are. C is SO super organized that things seem to be running very smoothly around their house. The boys are on a great schedule which makes things very predictable and relaxed. The babies are perfect and they are such a joy to hang out with. I’m looking forward to going again in January.

And finally…
I got my hair cut on tuesday. I was intending to get a trim because I couldn’t stand the length anymore. But after I had heard several people, over a course of days, mention “Locks of Love”… I agreed to chop it all off and let someone else use it. It’s shorter then I’ve ever worn it, but I really like the light feel of it. It feels so refreshing to have perky-ish hair. Especially since there’s not much else that is “perky” on me.

Check me out!

I’m back! Maybe for just a day… I don’t know. The computer seems to be working a bit today so I figure that I better get to blogging while I have a chance. I have to use T’s identity on our computer because the internet explorer won’t even show up on my screen. Go figure.
T did some kind of work on this machine last night so I hope that I’ll be back and running at full speed again soon.
Keep your fingers crossed.

I’m encouraged to hear that several of you have missed reading blog entries. It’s neat to know that our frivolous activities are interesting to you.
I’ll post a few today… just for fun.

be patient

hey there!
please be patient with me! My computer is really screwed up and I don't really have any internet capabilities these days.
I miss blogging, emailing, and keeping everyone up to date.
keep checking back. Hopefully my hubby will get a chance to fix things soon. (hint hint)
until next time....
