The Temp. is a balmy 80 degrees today, hard to get into the Christmas spirit when Ashlen asked me this morning if she could go swimming and the kids are all outside playing and sweating!!! Also, since we will not be home for Christmas I didn't want to put up a tree at all, I really don't like all the work of Christmas, it's not good, it is a problem I have. Anyway, Brent and the kids thought it would just be easier to buy a real tree rather than convience me to drag the tree out of the attic, so I decided it would be way easier to buy new christmas ornaments instead of go up to the hot, yucky attic and bring down all the decorations. I wasn't about to go up there anyway, Brent saw a mouse up there a few months ago, I had nightmares after that!!! Everything in the attic is now contaminated and will be destroyed during intervals of time when Brent is out of town!!!
We are flying to Las Vegas for Christmas this year and meeting up with My brothers and there families to do a little skiing in S. Utah. The kids are way excited...I am nervous, hoping my back will hold up some intense hanging out time with my nephews and my one Niece, Princess Bayden.
This time of year I alway look back on the past year and look forward to the new one with lots of goals and plans to make life better and more enjoyable. Let's be honest, that is just a bunch of crap. The one awesome thing about the new year is that Lauren turns 16 the first of February and will be able to drive, Rock on to that!!!!! Even though it makes me very nervous to have her on the road alone, it will make life so much better to have her driving!!! Pray for us all!!!
