I got stopped outside for a couple of reasons. I do have my Christmas decorations up inside and some of them up outside. Between the piles that the guys brought, and the Christmas decorations it was a disaster. Walk in the door walk to the nearest open spot and DUMP EVERYTHING. You tend to forget just how much mess that a family of five can make. I love having my guys home, I love them dearly.I am still cleaning up the remains of what was left in their wake. Jeff just left for work, and I have things to do around here. Thanksgiving came off without a hitch (mostly anyhow) Good food, nice visiting with relatives you do not see often. I am feeling much better now, but have a twinge every once in a while.
It proved too painful to sit here for any length of time. It has been a busy time, but I have also had limited time on the computer due to a rib being out of place. I cannot believe that I have not blogged since the 5th. Be creative! Yep that is what I want to do, be creative!!! Perhaps write a chapter today, or read a chapter or. I have Christmas shopping to do, baking to do, cleaning to do you name it. I want to go hunting (yes, I do that believe it or not) however, I am not in the mood to freeze my behind off, unless that is a permanent 'offage!' For the next while I will be working more. That is very unusual for me as I work very PART TIME. I find that getting up so early, makes me really tired! Ha. Since my body settled in front of the computer, this is what I came up with after reading the 42 e-mails, the newspaper, blogs, and anything I found that tickled my fancy. I figured since I got up at 4:45 I could do something creative. Happy December4th! Yes, be amazed I am actually blogging again. If I do not have a chance to blog again this week, Merry Christmas to everyone! God's blessings and lots of love sent your way. I need to get busy with the necessities now, so I will close. The book? It's still being worked on when there is time. This blog began as a "writing exercise" and has turned into much more than that for me. Thanks for being my friends.whether we have met or not. Thanks for reading my blog, and for coming back to read my blog. Thanks for your kind words of love and support throughout this past year. Nevertheless, this is the Monday before Christmas and I am in high hopes that this week will be a blessing to one and all.
I will do the necessities, and be satisfied.right? I am the one that has high expectations of what should happen, get done, or anything else that is causing the stress. I am the one that puts things on my to-do list. My brain is still in "fluff mode" and I have to go to work today, so I won't get much done. My house is still a mess, but I did get some help from two sons yesterday, and my wonderful hubby let us order Chinese for lunch after church. I cut that down by half! My gifts are now wrapped.I cut down the amount of gifts by about half. I have come to the conclusion that if something does not get done.oh well! My baking is done. Believe me when I say I have certainly felt everyone's love and prayers. This time of the year is already stressful for everyone without a death to have to deal with.
Thanks everyone for the prayers during this time.
