TWAS THE WEEK OF CHRISTMAS AND ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE

Twas the week of Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring only Sparky the Dog. The kids are all nestled in their beds and the couch and visions of Christmas presents swam in their heads. But to their wonder there is no Christmas tree or decorations because mom and dad have been so busy with the schedule ahead. But alas, no worries today it will be all taken care of-- for today is the day that Christmas will happen.

Okay, the Chipmunk Christmas CD got me in the spirit of Christmas. I used to listen to that record ( I know some of you are saying .. record what's a record ) over and over again when I was young and Cameron asked me to get that CD and we all listened and sang to it and it brought me back to my youth. When I was young and carefree and mom and dad would just take care of Christmas for us. It is much harder now that I am the parent. Making sure I get the right gifts for my kids and the biggest kid ( he is really hard to shop for ). But I will prevail and as they say "they get what they get and they don't throw a fit"........hey wait a minute isn't this supposed to be the season for giving - Oh well it will be learned in due time.

These last 2 weeks have been extremely busy - work all day - pick up kids -- take kids to all their activities -- go to something every night, christmas parties, pack meeting, etc. etc. ........
I finally collapsed Thursday with a stabbing headache -- thank goodness for Tylenol PM.
This week doesn't look much better just nothing on the books except for family though- that's good news.
