Thursday, December 21, 2006 - been awhile...
I have come to a stopping place on the new blog, so I thought I'd check in here.
It's been quite a month.
We thought that we would have a calm, drama-free Christmas for once, but my family had to go and spoil that for us. Who else saw that one coming?! I broke off contact with them 7 months ago, yet we come home the other day to a box of presents on the porch. Why can't they just leave us alone?!
The kids opened their gifts and one of them was a bracelet with frogs on it. I wonder if that's supposed to be a hint that they been reading here. Who buys a little girl a bracelet with frogs on it unless she specifically likes frogs?! Whatever...
I know that makes me sound ungrateful...I'm not. The gifts were sweet. I just want to be left alone. These people show no desire to be any part of my family, they never have, and now suddenly we're exchanging gifts?!
In other news, less stressful news...
We'll be finishing our shopping tomorrow. Praise God! I think we've decided to just take the kids with us and have fun piling their gifts in the cart for them to see. I don't want the focus of Christmas Day to be on the gifts anyways.
I have gotten several emails about our new blog. Many suggestions that we should try and get it published. I sent the cleaned up version to an author friend yesterday for a critique. That was a pretty huge step for me. It's one thing to let everyone read it, it's entirely another thing to say why don't you pick this apart and tell me what's wrong with it. (If you are reading here, author friend, know that I'm thankful for your help!)
I saw picture's on a friend's blog (the redheaded stepchild link) of the huge amount of snow she got in Colorado. At least some one's getting a white Christmas! LOL! Just as well it's her and not me, I despise the snow! Not a cold weather gal...not a hot weather gal either. Give me spring or fall anytime!
The kids are writing their own Christmas pageant for school this week. It's gonna be great! They were trying to just stick with the biblical accounts, but that would mean our Joseph would have no lines. Did y'all know that? Joseph had nothing to say through the whole thing. NOTHING!
Just like a man. LOL!
Well, if I don't get back in here over the next few days, have a Blessed Christmas!
