December Ramblings

I cannot believe that Christmas is in less than one week! Where did 2008 go? Oh yeah I forgot, we had our house on the market and then it sold, I was working on my Master's degree, I had just had a baby, anything else?
Well, I have not been blogging much lately because I have been a hell-uv-alot busy these days. Even though I am not currently employed BES has called me to sub 5 out of the past 10 school days, I repainted the dinning room, I finished painting Gnat's room, I baked some cookies, I went shopping for Santa, and I am trying to keep this house in order. So, those things do not allow me much time for blogging.
I just want to rant for a moment about how I hate the Holidays, no not all of it just some of it. I, unlike my BFF, love Christmas music, I know all the classic carols and sing along when they come on the radio, I love decorating for Christmas, and if you all check your mail soon you'll see the hand-made card just from our family to yours. The things I hate are obvious, I hate spending money on 'stuff', I hate shopping in general so to actually go out and purchase unnecessary 'stuff' for other people just ticks me off, I hate crowds they make me crabby, and did I mention that I really hate shopping?
Anyway check your mail, I really do wish all three of my readers a very happy and healthy holiday season. Please stop by if you are in the neighborhood and have a beer with us, we would love to show off my new paint jobs!!
