A bit better ...Maybe.

Well hello everyone... I know it has been a few days since I wrote ...I have been so busy lately.

I am going to start today with a funny thought : My daughters and I were watching the tele when a commercial came on about a "swiffer" (a mop like thing here in the states for those who don't know.) and it said ..." Give a great gift for the holidays this year, a swiffer"...so Hannah my nine year old screams out " Why the hec, would any body want a MOP for Christmas !...Now please tell me that :...It was so funny I just had to share it. I know most don't think of things like that, but I figured if a 9 year old knows not to give a mop to someone for Christmas, then DUH !

The neighbour /seller stopped by our house this evening and told us that his brother was filing for bankruptcy... now ordinarilly I hate being in ppl's buisness, It is not for me to know... but since I do have to find a lawyer now because of the land issue it was nice to know atleast they had in fact thought of us and not just dismissed it.  I know they are now foreclosing on thier house and land ... and I do feel bad that this has to happen to anyone at the Christmas season ... I am glad though that it is not happening to us and I am thankful for that.  I know it can easily be us soon if I do not find a job. My main worry right now is the bills that I have and that I cant pay them all this month...as it would have it all the major ones are due on the 16th and I will have no money for them ... my propane tank is now empty and I have no money to have it filled, and I haven't even paid for the last fill up ... so, yes ... I do worry about that .... Christmas atleast isn't that big of a deal this year, I have prepared my self in advance buying things since early in August and using a couple of my credit cards that I have. I sure didn't want my house or car payments to be late, but I have NO choice this month ... it is just kickin' my butt ... WOW ... and I have to pay my bills ! I have been praying, so I sure hope that the lord knows what to do for us or we are gonna soon freeze if we get another cold snap of Canadian air ! I am sure that in time it will be nothing and no big deal, I just hate owing ppl money and it drives me crazy ! I just have to trust in the lord that he knows what he is doing.

Well as for me ... I got all my Christmas cards and pictures out this weekend, which were alot ... and I got all my animals cleaned up too this last weekend. Cleaned the birds cage, the Gecko's cage and the fish tanks, spoiled my cats with really good food and then regretted it ... if you know what I mean ! lol. We have decided however to return " Bindi"  the black Aussie Lab to the humane society here ... she just refuses to use the bathroom outside or to stop eating everything in her path ... including my 2 year old ! Now I know that is just puppyism's, but it has just gotten way out of control. I do not want to keep her outside it is too cold, so she'll need a better family that doesn't have a 2yr. old chew toy I guess! I do suppose I am more a cat person ... I love my Smokey Bones kitty .... he is such a good boy !

I have to start wrapping my holiday things tommorrow too, and I will be glad to do it. I think I finally have all my holiday decorating done, but I do know that if I am here still next year it will look even better. After Christmas sales are the best way to get the decorations ... with the exception of our  PX (military store for the Army or Air Force) which had thier decoration already at 50- 75 % off ... well I was in heaven ! I got a little over a hundred dollars worth of stuff for 32 dollars ... now I don't want too much, it would look tacky, but what I got is good things for the kids too ... I am still so thrilled. I love to find good sales !

Well, I am not feeling so stressed tonight, which is good ... I have got alot done the last few days and all. Hec, I even got to shower alone (I mean with out my 2 yr old ha ha) and I cleaned the house ! What more can a girl want ... oh I mean besides a trip to a great place away from it all sometimes :) he he he.

Well, I guess I am going to go for today ... I have a few things to list on eBay before I go to bed, I am hoping some sell, I sure can use the money ! I hope that everyone is well and that you all take care ... I will write again soon ... ByE bYe !

* To my dear Aussie friends, I sure hope that you all get some rain soon, I know it has been so hot and dry there and I will pray for you !

TAMMIE :)
