I'm not really bah humbug but I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed by this holiday season. To start off with we had a nice thanksgiving,I made a turkey and all the trimmings. That day was also mine and Davids 15th anniversary so it was a double reason to celebrate!!The kids had a week off from school and they enjoyed the break.. so did i!! Anyway now were here right around the corner from Christmas and i think i don't have much spirit for the season by way of the tree got put up the day after thanksgiving and that's pretty much it. No extra decorating this year. I think my somber mood is cause I've been missing my dad alot, a couple of months back he hurt his back at work and took a few weeks off then went back... bad idea... he hurt it worse the second time. This upsets me so much because he is 68 and its time to retire, he has been working since he was a young boy in South America and its hard for him to stop. Anyway hes been on my mind cause alot because a couple of weeks ago he called me as usual (every other day)and just wanted to let me know not to send him anything for Christmas because all he wanted was to see me!! ouch ... yikes... wow that was a doozie!! I instantly started crying and pretty much cry every time i think of that conversation, so this has left me pretty somber. well I'm trying to be excited for the kids they enjoy Christmas time and of course the presents but most of all they enjoy being here as a family. Its been 1 year and almost 4 months since we moved here and the kids love it and I know that their happiness is the most important thing. Well enough blabbering for today. I'm suppose to take pictures of the kids for Christmas cards but we all were sick with the stomach flu for the past few days so maybe we can get it done tomorrow!! Hope everyone has a good weekend!!
