Christmas Day

Christmas day was way too busy! I miss being a little kid, you know, when I had not a worry in the world. I hope my children have the same good memories of Christmas as I do of my childhood.First, we got woken up by my in laws Christmas morning. They were supposed to wait for our phone call before they came but I think they were so excited that they couldn't wait any longer. YES!!!!! Now Ethan can do the cooking around here!!!!COOL! Now he can fix stuff too!!!!I made a photo album of the kids for Ryan's mom for Christmas........She cried really hard when she saw the picture of her mother holding Allie. My new spongebob jammie pants. I love jammie pants!!!!!!!!!It took us about 1 hour - 1 1/2 hours to open all the gifts. Then we had to hurry and get ready to go to Ryan's cousins' house at 10:30 a.m. We didn't even finish opening gifts until 10:30, so we didn't get there until about 12:00, they live in Freeland. Then we ate and opened a gift there, then ran out the door to get to my aunt's house,

I love Grandma Myers so much!!! I wish I could have given her the world, but I couldn't afford it. :)
The most beautiful and wonderful sisters that I could ever ask for!!!!!!!!!
we were supposed to be there at 12:00, but we were obviously late. They had already eaten and opened gifts by the time we got there. :( We were supposed to take my aunt's kitten home that day. It was going to be the kid's last Christmas gift, but the kitten had gotten out and ran away, so we went home with no kitty. Thank goodness we never said anything to the kids. So then we went home and played with all the new toys that the kids got. We were all so tired! This year was a little different for me though. I didn't enjoy Christmas this year. Maybe cause I realized I am not a kid anymore and I am getting old. One thing that I miss about when I was a kid, I used to sit in the living room by myself with all the lights off and the Christmas lights on and I would just sit there, so relaxed, not a worry in the world!!!! Now I have too many worries to relax at all. You know, getting old should come a warning disclaimer!!!

WARNING- Keep enjoyment out of reach of adults. If you come in contact with fun, make sure to wash the smile off your face and see a crabby Dr. right away!

INGREDIENTS- tears, snot, worrying, yelling, hurrying, pouting, exhaustion, messy house and lots and lots of ripped wrapping paper.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!

I hope everyone has an awsome Christmas! Happy Birthday Jesus!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

Christmas Photo fun

Ok, Jen, you will be proud of me.

I actually got my kids all dressed up in there christmas outfits and took pictures. WOW! That was fun. Trying to get two little kids, who just want to play, to stand still and let mommy take a few pictures is harder than trying to sell a $10,000 diamond! I had to even have Ryan come behinde me and give me bunny ears to get them to even look my way.

Little stinkers!!! :D

Well, here are those b-e-a-u-t-full pictures...

............................................... "what you look'n' at"


................................................. They finally smiled for me.....

...............................................And then.....this happened

............................... Allie was just being silly. She kind of looks like me.

THE END

Prayer for surgery

I worked for the City of Midland through this past summer. I worked a lot with my hands and ended up hurting my finger on my right hand. (I am right handed) So I was sent to a specialist to get a cortisone shot. It fixed the problem for a while but it has come back. It hurts to bend that finger, I can't hold things in that hand without dropping it. I went to the doctor again and he told me not to bend it at all. I no longer work for the City of Midland so I have been on the phone for the past 2 weeks trying to get the city to approve surgery. They have been giving me the run around about it. But finally today, 12-21-08, they called me at home and said they would aprrove it. I work in a jewelry store, I don't work like I did at the city. I am happy but at the same time nervous. I don't know yet when the surgery will be, but I will keep updating. Thank you!

To get, or not to get, that is the question....

I LOVE ANIMALS!!!! We had a black lab puppy that we loved so much! Her name was Molly. But she was sick and passed away at only a couple months old. So we decided to try and replace her with another puppy, a golden retreiver named Ginger. We paid out the rear end to get her. But she just wasn't the same and we couldn't handle her so we found a family to take her. They were supposed to pay for her but they never did. We decided after that, that we did not want anymore dogs. But we now have a chance to get a FREE black kitten from my aunt. We want to get it for the kids for christmas but at the same time my husband doesn't want to deal with it. He says it's just one more thing to worry about. But I want it really bad. The kids have been asking for a cat for a while now. What should we do?

DON'T TOUCH THE CHRISTMAS TREE!!!!

Ethan..put that back!
ALLIE!!!! don't touch that!!
Ethan, leave it alone!!!
Allie... PLEASE don't touch that!!!!
ALRIGHT!! Who wants a spanking?!?

My tree was so much prettier when I first put it up. It looks a little bare now.
"Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, you use to be so pret-ty." :)

Tis the season...

Christmas is so close, there is snow on the ground and excitement in the air. So why do people feel it is nessesary to take out their frustrations on people who only there to help? I work at Fred Meyer Jewelers and around this time of the year I work a lot of hours then come home and be a full time mommy and wife. I am tired and so far behinde in my christmas shopping and house cleaning that it is driving me nuts! So I go to work with a smile on my face ready to help people pick out the perfect gift for that special someone. I am not a pushy sales person, I don't like being pushed to buy things so I refuse to do it to other people. I can usually handle when people are in bad moods, but lately I have had a hard time dealing with it. When I say hi to a customer and they imediately say, "I'M JUST LOOKING!!!!!!" it's kind of rude and annoying after a while. I need a way to channel the anger out of my body and far far away! When I was little, I used to enjoy Christmas, but now I just can't wait for it to be over with. I hate that! I just need a new job! :) Thanks for listening to my complaining.
