WHEW........

The day is ending and another will begin tomorrow.  Today, my emotions were going nuts mostly over my work family and their well being.  Most people would be worried about themselves and their own family, but I consiously can't be someone like that.  I worry about my children, I worry about my mother, and I worry about the people who I spend most of my life with and these are the people who I spend 40 hours a week with.  I spend more time with them than I do my own children!  They don't know I care so much and probably only a few will actually catch on to it, but I truely do hope that everyone who I work with and care about makes it through these very difficult times without a dent.  Positive outlooks bring positive things.  Chin up and eyes forward. 

Okay, enough of the mushy seriousness and onto some not so serious stuff.  I haven't had any of those odd dreams for the past couple days.  I'm wondering what I've done to change it.  Possibly that my body has adjusted to not smoking?  Stress usually brings on the crazy dreams and I have plenty of it so I don't understand where they have gone.  BAH, oh well.....I'm sure another will hit me soon.  It's not normal for me to go without an intense crazy dream at least once a week.

Christmas day is approaching fast and I've really only purchased a few things.  My 17 year olds watch came in today.  It's sooooo freakin cool. 

For my 12 year old daughter....

I got her a few other things, but this is the big one.  She has been wanting a key necklace for a while now and loves Opal, so I came across this by total luck.  Now... I have been stuck on what to get for the baby.  I've already got him a couple of books.  He loves books.  We've been reading Greek Mythology lately and he really liked the story of Pandora's Box.  He's destructive though, so it's really hard to find something that will withstand his abuse.  I'm sure I will find something though....possibly Friday when I can get away for a little while without any of the kids around and can concentrate. 

Well the end is here and it's time to spend some of it with the kiddos.  I'll leave you all with the below statement.

I know my faults, I know I wish a lot, I know I hope a lot, I know that half of what I say I'll do I never really do.....it just feels nice to say it out loud every now and then.
