Time for some more updates, obeservations and surprises...
1. IT HAS BEGUN-- I finally started Christmas shopping, My mother in
law sent me somemoney to buy Christmas presents from her for the kids,
that way she won'thave to lug them on the train, so I officially have presents
under the tree. I still haven't started my shopping yet, thinking I'll do it next
week.
2. SANTA--This Santa and other childhood imagination stuff is hard.
My kids allstill believe in Santa, so I am still trying to plan Santa wisely.
I bought thewrapping paper that Santa will use yesterday,of course I had to
hide it sothe kids won't see it.. Sometimes I think we as parents are crazy for
adding one more thing to our list...
3. BUT KEEP THE OLD- I got an unexpected email from two of my friends
that I have not heard from in a long time(one of them over a year). What a true
blessing to be able to catch up with those people again. God has blessed me
with them and I am thankful that even though life has keep us busy we can
still catch up every now and then.
4.JOBS AND MOVING- For the time being it is looking like we will be staying
put. A mix of emotions, I know that I was secretly hoping that the one option
would work out and make a good situation for Coach. If its meant to be it will
work out.
5.FUNDING- I found out I got a grant award at school. It isn't a lot of money,
it covered the cost of books but it is that much more money I don't have to spend
and that is always good news!!!
6. I'M DREAMING OF A BROWN CHRISTMAS- So I've been trying
to decide what to give my siblings and parents for Christmas. So I've decided
to do treat boxes. I'm making truffles, oreo truffles and peanut butter balls. I
know that the last thing most people need is a little more sugar but come on
the new year means resolutions right?
7. FB TO BE OR NOT TO BE-- I've had so much success not being on FB
that I am trying to decide if I should ban it forever. I think however I am going
to reactivate it and then dump a whole bunch of people that I don't need! This
should allow me to keep the upbeat nature that life is taking. No changes till
January 1st though!
8.CHRISTMAS CARDS-- So I changed my mind. I'm gonna send out
cards but not until after Christmas. I'm gonna send them out to the ones who
send me a card and a couple of other people that I am thinking about! Guess
I couldn't keep my Bah Humbug attitude very long..
9. STOCKINGS ARE HUNG-- My Martha Stewart side came out, I went
to Walmart and bought 7 stockings( the $0.97 ones) and a bottle of glow in
the dark fabric puffy paint. Well lets just say that for less than $10 we have
7 personalized stockings that glow in the dark(the kids get a kick out of it).
10.VOW RENEWAL PLANNING- So I haven't been planning too much
but I have created my save the dates and started working on the brochure
that I am sending out when we know the exact date. Very cool things and
creative to say the least. Also decided to do a bon voyage party for those
that can't take the trip with us.
Alright I'll limit this to just 10 today. But I'll probably be posting some more
stuff soon...
