So What! Wednesday

  Linking up with Shannon again over at L.A.I.D.   Today I am saying SO WHAT if......   I can't pull myself from the tv as I still sit in disbelief about these sweet and innocent children and those teachers that so bravely tried to protect them.   I may be hugging my babies more.  Poor kids probably think I am crazier than before.   I am sad that I have no more gifts to buy.   My emotions seem crazy simply from my boss announcing her retirement.  Maybe it is true that the older you get, the less you like change.   We have been having an excellent time with Jolly the Elf or as Jaxin is now calling him Charlie....  

    I bought a new dining room table and I have no where to put it.  I MUST sell mine like today.   I dislike Craigslist.  I have had I don't know how many bogus emails since listing my table and buffet.  Ticks me off.   Anyhow, I am leaving you with a view of our Christmas pics which turned out surprisingly well :)  

Merry Christmas Everyone!  Please continue to pray for those in Connecticut.

 

I Am Alive

I don't know why on earth I feel as though I have done something wrong being gone from the blog scene.  Don't worry, I have been reading every ones blogs but just not posting to mine.  Everyone know this is not only the most wonderful time of the year, but the busiest.  Not just at home, but at work for me.  Our fiscal year ends November 30th and what does that mean?  CRAM!  So many things to wrap up and I would love to say it was all present wrapping.

Nonetheless, now that you all know I have been busy and am still alive, I just wanted to say a few things I am wanting for Christmas and a few things the boys are getting for Christmas via Santa.

I read a lot of blogs that have traditional presents.  Not that I don't like that idea but I guess I want to give them all that I didn't receive in my childhood and so I splurge on my boys.  I don't buy them stuff all the time but I do typically find myself buying for me, not for them.  As in things for them.  I rarely buy things for me without feeling guilty.  I am sure most moms are like that. 

Now then for my big boy Dayne, he has asked for the Wii U and yes, Santa got it as soon as it hit the shelves.  That is his big gift.  He will have plenty smaller gifts but until that boy stops wishing for $300+ ticket items every year, his gifts are limited.

As for my Bubba a/k/a Jaxin, he really hasn't asked for anything.  Wait, wait back up, he told Santa he wanted a skateboard.  Now, do you get him one?  I am debating about this.  I mean he is a tad too young for one I think.  Seriously, do you always get what they ask Santa for?  Assuming it is realistic.  I did however get him this fabulous Clubhouse.  He is going to be so excited.  I also got him a Cozy Coupe.  I know, you may think he is too big for one but he loves those things.  So those are his big gifts. 

I'd like to think they are pretty reasonable and practical for their ages. 

As for me, I asked for a Keurig which I already received.  Yes, I am already using it as of this week. 

I want a plain silver watch.  No sparkles, patterns, etc.  I just want a plain one I can wear with my hoodies and what not.  I know, I am odd. 

I also need a new robe but I am having a hard time locating the perfect one.  Not too hot, not too cold.  You know the drill. 

Other than that, there is this fantastic little store called the The Rabbit Patch Cottage that I said I would love a gift certificate to. 

Oh and I told Jaxin that all I wanted for Christmas was for him to cooperate for our Christmas pictures tonight.  We will see how that turns out.

I guess that about sums it up.  I would like to hear what you have to say about the Santa question I had and what kind of great things you want from Santa this year ;)

Have a great rest of the week.

So What! Wednesday

  Linking up with Shannon again over at L.A.I.D.   Today I am saying SO WHAT if......   I didn't realize it was Wednesday, I seriously had myself convinced it was only Tuesday.  I blame the Holiday we had from work Monday.   I have escaped from blogging for about 14 days.  I can't believe how fast time flies.   I am struggling not to put my Christmas tree up.  I keep seeing pics of everyone else's trees up.   I hate sharing my boys.  Don't get me wrong, I love that they have relationships with thier fathers and families but I spend Thanksgiving without them every year :(   The election didn't go as I would have liked but that is okay, I will make the best of it.   I am thoroughly enjoying my Human Resource Management Certification class.  I wish it wasn't ending this week.  Great bunch of people in this class.   I am about done shopping for Christmas already.  I start early and store things away.  Now only if I manage to locate all of them....huummm.   Everytime I am on the news, I look like an absolute hateful ass.  Too funny.  Makes me crack up.   I think Tonya from Love of Family and Home is pretty much the cats meow.  She is so creative and I love that she seems so down to earth and she blogs very well.  She is also from my area.  She actually made a birth announcement sign for me.  Hope she doesn't think I am creepy for this :)   I don't like those that blog about all of their "greatness".  I mean don't get me wrong good for you if you live in a ginormous home, good for you if you are a workout fanatic, have a hot hubby, the cutest kids on the planet, you get the point.  I know we all brag on ourselves, that is human nature but damn sometimes I want to say don't you have anything "real" to write about.  Mind you I don't write about jack squat quite frankly and I probably talk alot about my boys but hey it is all I have.   Sorry, I tend to rant sometimes.  I hope you all have a fantastic Wednesday!!!!
