• Thank you all for you wonderful words of encouragement and support regarding the situation with Dora…it means the world to me.
  

  

  
  

  Why is it that during the holiday season, just when you think that you are done and prepared for everything…you always have something left to do?  I mean, I did most of my shopping in November before Thanksgiving for the kids…and got Jason‘s gifts taken care of by the first week of December…but, I still feel that there’s something I’m missing.  Hmm…

  
  

  I guess that it’s just me.  I got my cards all done and mailed out this week…the last one out as of today as a matter of fact. I know, I’m running a bit late on cards this year…but it’s just been a little more chaotic around my house lately than usual.  My mom got the flu and has been off of work a lot lately (her part-time job at Mervyns) and the kids have just been high strung.  That’s normal with the holiday coming though.  I’ve been trying to get things done…but it just seems as if time is slipping away from me this year.

  
  

  Caleb is home with me this weekend…so that will be fun.  I always enjoy having some alone time with him…especially so close to Christmas.  I think that maybe I’ll take him out and show him the lights around the neighborhood…he’ll like that.  My bulb on my fiber optic tree decided to burn out.  So I’ll have to take the tree out of the base and take a part the base to see what kind of bulb it is and then replace it…no fun with a fully decorated tree.  I guess that we just left it on too much even though I was constantly turning it off…the kids would turn it back on.  This usually happens every year…you’d think that I would be prepared huh? Not.

  
  

  Oh well…no big deal, I’ll just have to take care of it…but not until Caleb goes to his dad’s on Sunday for Christmas with his grandma (dad’s mom).  Jason is done with school now until January (does happy dance) so this means that Sunday after Caleb leaves we will have some time together for the first time in months!! (does another happy dance)

  
  

  We have my company party to go to this next Thursday.  Yes, the 23rd…a glorious time for a party don’t you think?  I actually don’t mind it being the day before Christmas Eve…but some people in my company complained because they will be out of town.  I understand that…but it was the only time that it could be scheduled this year for the restaurant that they wanted.  So anyway, yeah…party…that will be nice.  I have a lot of friends within the company along with business associates…so this will be quite enjoyable!  That is…if Jason doesn’t get sick again this year so that we have to leave early.  (long story)

  
  

  After the party we are going to Phantom of The Opera!!  (does happy dance)  I can’t wait to see that!!  It is one of my all time favorite musicals and now it’s on film…that is too cool!   I’ll let you know how it is…but I have high expectations considering Andrew Lloyd Webber worked with the producers in making the film.

  
  

  Okay…well times up for me (I’m at work and am not supposed to be on Xanga )…so you have a glorious weekend and I’ll see you next week!!
