CHRISTMAS DAY ~ NIGHT.

Does that make sence ? Ha ha ha. Either way I am sure you know what I am meaning.

It was a low key day, but ok. I actually have been so tired most of it and the kids let me sleep. I do wish we had - had more warning that Adam's family was having a get together, but was just told on the 23rd, so in no way could we have made it. I miss getting together though, sometimes it is nice to be able to get together with others, it has been a long time.

Sheri's gifts were awesome and brightened up the morning for the kids. They also had thier stocking stuffers from us, I will have pics up tommorrow or so. I can't wait to share.

I am glad this is over though and am SOOOO hoping that next year will be better. I have to remain positve and believe that "Where God Guides, he also Provides" ... I am still learning through faith though.

I still have yet to tell the kids of the "gift" to come in August. I meant to, I wanted to.... but I fear they will have the same reaction everyone else is having here. This has gotten me into a tad bit of a depression about it all though, but I will get over it - I suppose. I just wish others would understand. So, anyway - for now I am just going to be quiet about it. I have so many thoughts running through my head.

On a good note though, Brittany did my heart good today. She cleaned out her closet and brought me a whole basket of folded clothes. At first I thought they were more dirty things, but they were folded, so I asked what she was doing with the belongings in the basket. She told me that it was laid upon her heart to clear the inappropriate things out and make room for new. My mouth about hit the floor and as I looked there were short skirts and too revealing tops, shortshorts and some music CD's and movies. She was sure to point out that even Ice Age 2 had curse words in it and she didn't want it anymore.

There are very few people that understand my ways of thinking and  about things that lead unto temptation so my heart swelled with joy when she said she "gets" it. Sometimes I just wish others would, but most the time no one will even hear my point of veiw. AND of course you know, I WON'T be discussing them here ! LOL !

On another note, we are contemplating selling the TV on eBay. I am just curious how many people would bid on it ... ya' know ?!  This is just a thought though, because it might be hard .... American Idol's new season is coming. LOL. I have to make choices though. Dear, it can be so fun to watch some people that go on there though !

Soooooooo, I figure we got about 4 months or near 120 days till spring time. I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to it !!! I had  SUCH an inkling to go for a walk today, but who wants to do that in the cold snowy tundra ?!?! YIKES ! I might, but I am sure it wouldn't last too long ! LOL !!!! I'd get maybe a few houses down ....

Well, that is it from our house .. I will be back later. Hope ya'll had a very Merry Christmas !!!

  1. That's awesome to hear about Brittany, it really is. I totally understand.

    Matt and I are *this* close to canceling the cable, but I have the same feelings right now.......maybe after American Idol? LOLOL Seriously though, you can watch all those shows on the internet now.... Well, I don't know about AI, but the other ones we watch, we can catch on here. Like Lost, which is the other show I'm anxiously waiting to come back on!

    anyhow, I'm glad you had a good day.... *hugs to you*

  10. Oh I am glad you had a great day!!! I can't wait to see pictures. Oh that I think that is awesome about Brittany!! I don't like having movies that swear either. I think a movie can be perfectly fine with out sex and swearing. I like watching AI when they are trying out people and a little of the ending but seem to lose interest after a while. I hope the rest of your Christmas was great! I am looking forward to a better New year for us both! Hugs

  16. Glad you had a nice Christmas.

    I couldn't sell the TV. I look at it as one of my connections with the world. There's too much on there that I love. So...we have 3. But I refuse to allow one in the bedroom. It's bad Feng Shui.

  19. Truthfully we got rid of ours in late 2001. Borrowed one for a year or so to watch movies on the VCR and have been TV free since 03. Any more most of the shows are on the internet somewhere or you can rent past seasons from the video store. It is kind of hard to watch a movie on the laptop if more than one person wants to watch though.

  20. With Brittney's stuff is there a resale shop near by? Maybe sell it and then give her a cut and use the rest for something for the whole family.

  21. Yep, we are going to do that ! Good idea.

  22. Oh you know what - they should really seriously come up with a way to have the TV - BE- the Internet ! Like everything is all in one or something. I wish i was technologically inclined, I would invent it !!!
