Still not all here

Once I am done working in 2 weeks I will be able to keep up this blog better. I try to read some blogs while at work but haven't been able to comment much, sorry guys. When I get home from work I usually try to get some housework done and try to be with the kids for a little bit before they go to bed and then I crash at 9 and go to bed. I haven't worked a 40 hour work week since the summer and it is kicking my butt. By the 4th week of this I am sure I will be usued to the routine, just in time for my sister to go back to school and for me to be home full time again. Which honestly I am not looking forward to. I really think that for me part time is the best of both worlds.The only problem is that I just don't trust anyone enough to leave my kids with them. And it doesn't make finacial sense to put them in daycare part time. The bright side is that there is only three more years and then I can go back.LOL

Poor Cole is sick, he has a nasty cough and has had a fever for two days now. I am really hoping it breaks up soon. Being a long weekend for the holiday his doctors office is closed until tuesday so lets hope he gets better before then! He has just fallen asleep while lying on two chairs at the dining room table,poor baby.

Alright I should go and get some of these Christmas decorations put away. I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year!!!

Ok..I'm at work so I have to make this short. That's right I said i'm at work..YEAH. I am thuroughly enjoying my time away from home. It's only for a couple of weeks while my sister is home from college, so I can't get too comfortable. I am one of those rare people who like to go to work. I'm in an office today where there is not much going on so I have a little time to write. I haven't been able to blog because by the time I get home my computer hog husband is usually already on, besides the fact that i have a million things I need to get done every night. I had forgotten how the housework doesn't do itself during the day. The kids are great , they are getting excited for Santa to come! Santa has one more gift to get and then he is all done, and has 95% of the wrapping done, thank goodness. My Christmas spirit shows it face now and again, today is a good day, I am getting excited. Mostly just to have family around. OK gatta go..work to do.

This should be a blast!

I love this idea!
I got this from Stacie who got it from Idgie. I think this is super fun idea. Here's the deal:If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, please post a comment with a completely made-up and fictional memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - but it has to be fake. Then copy the paragraph above on your own blog. C'mon, I'm dying to see what you come up with!

Baa Humbug

I have officially lost all of my Christmas spirit, sad I know. I did have Christmas spirit earlier but it is COMPLETELY gone now. We are having some trouble with one of our tenants and are in the process of evicting them and I just feel like they are sucking the life right out of me. I did try to get out of having Christmas at our house this year but it didn't work. My inlaws have convinced me that there is more room at our house for everyone, which is true, so I said ok. But, now I am going to have to put on a happy face and pretend like I am having a great time, when all I really want to do is crawl under a rock. I begrudgingly put up my decorations yeterday but it didn't feel the same as past years. It was very mechanical...no joy really. I wonder if anyone will notice if we don't get a tree. I feel bad for the kids, I just don't have it in me this year. I am trying to put a front on for them, but I know kids can sense when something isn't right. There must be something wrong with me as I sit here crying while writing this post. I hope this dark cloud passes over me soon. I love Christmas time and want to be able to enjoy it, especially for the kids.

On a different note, we went sleigh riding yeterday. Cole and Ryleigh had a blast! Ryleigh just laughed and giggled all the way down the hill, she loved it. Cole tipped the sled over at the bottom of the hill and Ryleigh did a face plant but got up laughing anyway. She's not afraid of anything, unlike her brother who is alot more cautious.

Ok, well.. maybe a hot shower will make me feel better, so long for now.
