CHRISTMAS 2007

After a rocky start to the morning we had a VERY GOOD CHRISTMAS!!!! The best thing was that we were ALL together!! The boys were cute and full of it and Carson really smiled for us. I was very UGLY at first and I take this opportunity to apologize to Amy and Buffy. I have already called Gma and apologized to her. I have this obsessive thing about getting things done in a certain fashion and being on time. Wish I could get over it but it is HARD. So my apologizes again to them. The best thing was that Gma fufilled her goal of having Christmas breakfast at her house. She kept saying that this is what she wanted since she started recovering from her episode in the fall. I got a beautiful chest to hold things on the dresser from Lon and a pretty windchime to replace the one that got hurt in the ice storm. That was a wonderful surprise.
So MERRY CHRISTMAS and hopefully I will have a whole year to straighten out my obsessiveness about getting things done.
Love you all!!!

COUNT DOWN TILL CHRISTMAS

MAYBE PAPA LON WILL LEAD US IN A FEW CHRISTMAS CAROLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY!


WELL IT IS ONLY 3 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS. AM I READY? NO, OF COURSE NOT. WHY DO I ALWAYS DO THIS TO MYSELF. I HAVE A FEW MORE THINGS TO MAKE AND OF COURSE I WILL BE BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL GETTING THEM DONE. OH WELL. THEY WILL GET DONE. AMY AND FAMILY MADE IT TO SPRINGFIELD. YEAH!!!! MEGAN TOOK THE SNACKS, JUICE, BEER AND STUFF I GOT THEM UP THIS AFTERNOON. I HAD DAWSON AND WAS TIRED AND NEEDED TO STAY HERE AND WORK ON STUFF. I KNOW AMY WAS TIRED AND SHE DOESN'T FEEL GOOD. DON'T BE MAD AMY THAT I DIDN'T COME UP. WILL SEE THEM BRIGHT AND EARLY IN THE MORNING. WILL TAKE KRISPY KREME DONUTS 'CAUSE I KNOW ZEK LIKES THEM. SHE WILL HAVE DAWSON AND CARSON WHILE SARAH WORKS FOR 3 HOURS. I'VE GOT SOME CANDY AND COOKIES AND MUDDY BUDDIES AND HAYSTACKS MADE TO TAKE TO GMA'S ON CHRISTMAS. DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE TO TAKE ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT THE TABLES OR NOT. MAY TRY AND GET ALL THAT OVER THERE TOMORROW SO CHRISTMAS MORNING I WON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING BUT GET UP AND GET READY AND GET OVER THERE. I AM GOING TO MAKE SURE I LOOK NICE SINCE IT SEEMS I ALWAYS LOOK LIKE CRAP IN OUR CHRISTMAS PICTURES. I AM GOING TO MAKE SURE I GET A PICTURE OF ME AND THE GIRLS AND ME AND THE GRANDSONS, SINCE I AM ALWAYS THE ONE TAKING THE PICTURES.
I MADE A DEAL WITH MYSELF TO BE BETTER ORGANIZED FOR THE COMING YEAR. GOING TO START WITH CHRISTMAS STUFF (BUYING ALONG THE WAY) AND GET ALL THE BIRTHDAY CARDS MADE OR BOUGHT AND ALL THE HOLIDAYS IN BETWEEN DONE. TRY TO KEEP ON TOP OF THINGS. THAT IS ONE OF MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS. GREAT SEEING BUFFY ON HER WAY THRU TO GO TO CHURCH THIS MORNING AND ALWAYS GREAT HAVING MEGAN HERE. SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES WHEN THE 2 YOUNGER DAUGHTERS ARE AROUND.
LON IS OUT IN THE STUDIO. BILL CAME DOWN AND THEY LAYED DOWN SOME TRACKS YESTERDAY AND TODAY AND ANOTHER FRIEND CAME THIS AFTERNOON TO DO SOMETHING. THEY ARE STILL OUT THERE.
WELL I BETTER GETTING INTO MAMMY'S WORLD. THAT'S BUFFY'S OLD ROOM. GET BUSY CRAPPING OH I MEAN CRAFTING. I DO BETTER IN THE MORNINGS, BUT WITH EVERYONE HERE THIS MORNING I DIDN'T GET STUFF DONE THE WAY I SHOULD HAVE.
SO UNTIL I CAN POST FROM THE BIG HOLIDAY I WISH ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY A JOYOUS CHRISTMAS AND LET US NOT REMEMBER WHAT CHRISTMAS REPRESENTS. FOR YEARS PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THE "CHRIST" OUT OF CHRISTMAS. SO THIS YEAR WHERE EVER YOU ARE SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS AND REMEMBER WHAT HE DID FOR US. BLESSINGS TO ALL!
