Whew....I still have time

I still have some time left. I am sorry this post is so late but I had a semi hectic day. I woke up to about 5 missed calls and 2 voice mails about coming into work early. My god people let me sleep in for a bit. Ha, j/k but it wasn't so bad.

 Now I get 2 days off in a row, to do what with? I have no clue. My best guess is clean and Christmas shop. I am feeling a little bit of nervousness with money but I know it will all be ok.

Not much to write really fast about. My son got an award for good effort at school, which makes me proud, of course. Then I raced to work today. Thats about it.

I feel a draft...

My stupid windows are so drafty! I am freezing in here. Now, I don't wanna do anything except lay down and snuggle up. I wouldn't mind seeing my "M.F." but I just don't feel like going anywhere. It sure is a lazy night.

These are a few pics from the parade of lights!

I am watching the Monday night football game, which is semi interesting. There are some of the old Steelers players playing which is fun to watch. I really wish that I had more to say but I really don't

Whoops...I'm a grinch

Why again is this the happiest time of the year? Is it all of the stress from crowded stores and the lines, and the grouchy people. I know it is all about the giving, don't get me wrong, but some people are just plain hard to shop for, and that stresses me out. I guess it is from years of working in a mall that has soured me a little.

Ok.....think positive, remember? I love making Christmas goodies. I love eating them too! Decorating the whole house and having all the lights off and just having the light from the tree is nice. I love all of the ornaments that I have from my childhood. I like some Christmas music, but it tends to get annoying after a while. I love the little things my kids make at school and their Christmas programs. Of course, I love spending time with family....if I even get the chance to.

Alright I am done ranting...........maybe, well for now, yes.

Losing my grip?

I had the strangest dream today. I dreamed that my fingers were cut off! I freaked out for sure. It was one of those dreams that just stick with you and was so real. I wonder what it means. Maybe I'm losing my grip on somethings? Who knows?

Tonight was the parade of lights! All of the lite up vehicles and the horses were awesome. The weather was a bit chilly, but we huddled up in our blankets with hot chocolate. Good times and great memories. I will post some of the pictures when I get the chance. Some pictures came out a little blurry but still ok.

Oh it just feels nice to put on a pair of pajama pants and kick back and relax! I haven't been home for more then 2 hours since Tuesday. It will feel nice to lay on my couch and just kick back. It's nice that the first part of the chaos is over. I actually got some of my Christmas shopping done! It feels good.

Another quickie

Ok, so this one is going to have to be a quick one, again. I have yet to sleep at my house in the last 2 days and probably won't tonight. Man oh man, was last night a trip or what. I spent an hour and a half in the freezing cold for stupid deals at toys r us. All to save a measly 10 bucks. Today was busy busy busy. Not the busiest but still. Ok gotta get going and get my relaxation on. Oh black Friday how I love that you are now another year away.

Stuff it!

So I am sitting at my mothers house and it is still chaotic with just the 4 of us. Go figure. I am in charge of the turkey today! I hope I don't screw it up.  I will also be in charge of a couple other dishes too.  We had a little late start this morning but I am thankful that I got to sleep in today :)


I was just thinking to myself yesterday that next Thanksgiving I will be 30.  That won't be so bad right ? Well who knows. But I figure this needs a little something, so with it being turkey day I thought it would be right for a thankful list.

I am thankful for......
 Family, duh, they really are tha bomb!
 Friends....another duh right there! They are also pretty amazing
 A roof over my head
 My job, even though it sucks sometimes, most of the time it is pretty decent
 The Pittsburgh Steelers.......of course
 My camera
 Life

I was thinking to myself a little earlier, and I found it funny that the day we focus on what we have in our lives is followed by the day we focus on what others don't have, and what they need. Just a little funny strange.



The house is full of yummy smells and black friday ads. It is almost a sensory overload. I like it. I am thankful for it.

Wacky Wednesday

Meh....thats how I feel today. I got a late start and I hate that feeling. Now I feel rushed and like I have so much to do and so little time. Today is day number 6 at work. Whew, I need a vacation already. It didn't help that I had a coffee catastrophe earlier. Coffee grounds teamed up against me and ruined a whole pot of coffee. That right there, ruins my day. Eeh. I just hate feeling stressed like this.....

Ok, breath......and have a good cup of coffee.
