Yesterday was so WEIRD! I go to work and discover there's not enough work for the 3 of us. I decide to leave. Dennis calls, 'why is your mom using her wood burning stove?' I don't know and--HOW did HE know? So I run by mom's, sure enough she's got the wood burner going. Seems she was out of propane. I run the tanks up and get them filled. Dennis runs by and hooks one up for her. Ok, problem solved! Then I run home to vacuum Miss Eva [the tanks were a bit dirty] run Bryon to work and [FINNALLY] go Christmas shopping. My heart isn't in it [looks like it's socks again this year] After one store I'm done [I spent all of 10 dollars, mostly on me] I was hungry so I stop at a little cafe. I'm so glad I did. I ran into a friend and had a LOVELY visit. Then it was nap time. I spent the evening picking-up Bryon, going by the library, entertaining Dennis, watching a Christmas video and talking to Bridget [she's coming home early bless her]. Why do I say the day was WEIRD? I don't know it just FELT weird! Maybe because I should be totally stressed about my gift giving by now. My shopping is SO not done. The way I figure, except for Brynna, I could just give 'gift card' if I can't find the things I want to give. Most of my 'loved' ones might have a better idea of their wants than I do anyway. Also, I don't believe I'm doing a dinner this year, so that removes some of the stress too.
MAYBE I'll get alittle housework done today. THAT would be super!!! Brandon--I love you so! You and Rachel and the children sure add alot to my life and---you don't lose my mp3 player. It's so funny--I WAS going to get Bryon one for Christmas but when I found out he lost mine [purely accidental] I decided NO WAY! Do YOU want a mp3. Just kidding. I got Bryon something totally different. I do LOVE this time of year. It's so fun to try to please those you care about! I love you all. 'God bless us, everyone!' xoxo

It's kinda funny, as the years go by, it gets very hard to think of nearly anything I want or need.
I guess that is how you can tell you are comfortable with your life. Everything you may want or need is at your fingertips.
I guess when you are a Dad you are more concerned about your family than yourself. "You can leave me with a canteen and some crackers, just make sure the kids are OK."
; )
It's hard to put into words. I guess I have a higher calling in life and it goes beyond myself.
If there was one thing I am always after, and Rachel can vouch for this, it's soda... even though I know it's bad for me.
Other than that, we are just holding out for the humble yet gracious free money from Uncle Sam next year. Rachel pointed out that four of the six water sources in the house has issues. So plumbing repairs are in our future. ; )
We love you Mom.
See you soon. : )
