Wonderful Christmas

Whew! It's been a busy one since I last posted. But it has been all Good! Had a wonderful Christmas everywhere we went and good times with family. Those kinds of things just can't be replaced! My family was blessed with many nice gifts and love from family as we celebrated the birth of Jesus. I am so thankful for all the many clothes we all received...but oh my gosh! The LAUNDRY was BIG! The boys got some money for Christmas and wanted to go and spend it the day after Christmas...I agreed to take them WITH the stipulation that their rooms be totally cleaned out, sweeper ran, etc. We weeded out toys, clothes etc that are no longer being used and took a nice load to the Goodwill store on our way...what a wonderful feeling I had after that! The boys just don't understand it!

I got a new sweeper from my folks...YEA! LOVE IT! My sister and her husband got one too! We just had a great week, I didn't have to work Wed-Fri and it was great. We just didn't have to hurry around and that was so nice. Did chores, doctored a few sick cattle, took the boys to shoot their new rifles and had a blast Christmas day. It was windy as heck but warm. We shot many a hedge apples that day!

I officially only want to wear my sweats...as jeans are now uncomfortable. YUK! I hate that. With the new year comes the thought of spring/summer on its way, my white, fat legs will be showing...ICK ICK ICK!

Today, I worked until noon. Was planning on tackling my laundry room/mud room. It's in a real need for some organization and cleaning. It was workable when the boys were little, but now that they are older, we all have coveralls, coats, boots, etc, etc, etc AND the laundry which never seems to be caught up. EVER EVER EVER...anyway I proceed to start clearing it out, moving stuff and mix up my pine sol water and start scrubbing the floor, which led to wiping down walls that had cobwebs on them, which led to I really hate how my laundry room looks and it needs painted, which led to the garage where I found some Kilz which led to a paint roller and brush which led to me shakin the tar out of that can of Kilz which led to, yep, you guessed it, I'm painting. I'm such a spaz! Oh well, I got half the room done, got it dry with the help of my fan and have applied a coat of paint and I'm feeling much better about life! What's the sense in organizing and re-arranging when it needed a coat of paint?!?!?! Huh? Huh? Exactly, It just needed to be done. So now I have laundry strung all over the place, paint brushes, paint cans...yep it's a sure fire disaster! Thank the Good Lord, my boys have gone to MeMe and PaPa's for a few days...maybe I'll get this done before they get home. If I ever build a house...the kitchen and laundry room will be TOP priority for me. I'm not sure who designed mine, but they had to be....well, not into big laundry rooms!

I hope that Santa left you something fun in your stocking and may you receive many Blessings from the Good Lord!
