Christmas Shopping is almost done!!!! Dad and I braved a snow storm just to make sure it was a wonderful holiday for y'all. It would have been great but I was supposed to be home enjoying my weekend with Josh & Reagan before they leave on their Christmas Cruise. I guess I really don't like December because I get too rattled and forget things and it's pretty bad when you forget your own children are staying at your house. I guess the day isn't that far off that I'll be buying that motor home for you kids to drive me from house to house so you can take care of me. I expect dad to just stay here and farm till he's around 85 then he'll join me in the nursing motor home. You guys will have to feed him, do his laundry and find things for him though because I am trying to keep him completely dependent so he thinks he can't live without me. I worked on that again this weekend so we'll see how it goes. I do appreciate all your comments and I want to assure you I have been buying Christmas presents appropriate to replies. Well, It's neigh on to 8:30 and dad is watching survivor man, (I think he watches that so he can survive anything I dish out) so I think it's about time for me to go to bed. Big shopping day, slick roads, lots of money gone, Tired!

Whew! What a week
What a great week this is going to be. Not a lot of stress to confuse life. Share week is over, the money is earned now we just have to find the people to spend it on. Not a problem, people are calling the school and I have been on the phone a lot. That's not the most interesting thing I learned this week though.
We had a great Bastian party on Saturday. I started at 12 and got over at 1:55 on the dot. That included the cleaning of the Scout Cabin. That was good, but again, not the most interesting thing
I learned this last week. I learned that you can live with a person for thirty nine years and still not know things about them. Sure, I know what he likes to eat, that he likes to go to sleep at 5 and wake up at 5, and just because I sleep later than him he thinks I sleep too much (someday I will tell him what I think of that!) I'm still on the 8am schedule in case any of you were wondering, but, back to my story, I also know that he doesn't hang Christmas lights willingly, (once in his lifetime) but I now know that he hates my two red berry wreaths with a passion and thinks they look like weeds with berries on them. I have hung them for Christmas for at least two years and not a word, I wonder what else he hates, but there again, I just found out that he hates poinsettia's, you know the big red flowers I always buy at Christmas and hope they live until New Years. Last year I had 5, count them 5 poinsettia's and not a word from the big guy.
This year all of a sudden he has an opinion on all the Christmas decorations and most of them are just plain ugly. He does like the tree with all the accumulated ornaments from the past 39 years and he doesn't even mind that there is a space in the middle of the tree with no lights! That is no problem at all but all those red decorations are just over the top and weedy. Oh well, I just bought a new berry wreath, this one with frosty stuff on it, I did put it on the outside of the door
so he only has to see it when he comes in the front door. That's what he gets for not telling me sooner that he hated my berry wreaths. What will he hate next? Well, I will try harder to keep up with this blog so Dad and I are off, we are going to Steve's Steakhouse for dinner. Don't worry though, the government is paying for it so I plan to get steak and shrimp and a drink and dessert and probably an appetizer plate and whatever else they have available. You know how it is with the government, they can afford it!
