Still here

Hi all. I am still here. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I have been host to a holiday bug that is using all of my brain power in an attempt to spread holiday cheer. I know I am not alone. There are others out there, somewhere.

Now that I am a responsible adult, (huh-hum) I figured that this year I would make the season a little less stressful by not waiting until the last minute. So far, so good. I have most of my christmas shopping done, which is huge for me. I am usually a last minute shopper. I am one of those dummies who is trying to buy presents on christmas eve. My regards to those of you who still are. I have a few people left, and I would like to get a few more things for my kids. I have been keeping one eye glued to the ads for that great deal. The one where the clouds part and a beam of sunshine comes down and blast out your eardrums with loud music.......

While on one of my great deal missions, I was pleasantly surprised to run into a very good old pal from high school. I had not seen her in 8 years and we had a nice short visit. There were no strange moments and it was if we have never been apart. Well, other than the fact that we both have more kids, different jobs, etc. :O) The fact that two people can be such great friends one day, and then not see each other for years, baffles me. I loved her then, and I still love her now. I am glad she is doing well.

The madness that resides in my house has not changed, it just multiplies. Colter has helped his dads sock trail double in size. The food fight between Colter and the dogs has recently recruited Dad. Tanners "things" are still always left in the most inconvenient spots. The laundry basket in the bathroom, mysteriously fills up the same day I empty it. The dogs still have to go to the bathroom every two hours and the shoe fairy that my husband says visits me, has been leaving many pairs of men's shoes in our back porch. I think its time for a new fairy.

Have a great weekend everyone!
