Murmer

My kids will have a new chore everyday this first week of Christmas break. Let the whining begin, and it already has.
I'm such a mean mom!

New Nothing

Rachel made a video when she ran for student council pres. Her good friend won and I'm very proud of how our Rachel handled herself; mature, respectful and confident.

My smile went crooked on Saturday. I have Bell's Palsy. For a few months I'll have a crooked smile, can't taste things, and have to make sure my eyes close all the way when I sleep. I'm not a hypochondriact. I always have something wrong going on but never serious. (I'm still going to PT for my hip bursitis.)

One of my former Beehives lost her husband to suicide, funeral is tomorrow. She is a widow at 22.

A good friend lost her dad today. I'm helping out as best I know how.

I'm wishing I wasn't hosting the cookie exchange this year. Next year I won't. Fruit baskets are healthier, more expensive but so easy.

I was sewing a Christmas gift and messed it up last week. Bad. I have not had the patients to go rip it out yet and try to fix it. Why don't I spend the extra $10-15 and buy one?

My house is falling apart and will never be clean enough.

My husband and I LOVE each other very much. It is nice to be having a season of good together. Heaven knows it was due!

The kids want to spend the night at Jamie's on Christmas eve and I'm not sure I like the idea? They are pretty set on it though?! Go to bed early? Get up late? I don't know how to do that? Oh, wait I do that every day, ha ha ha. But not for Christmas!
