I know in my heart that I'm doing everything I possibly can for my family. I won't let anyone, who hasn't walked a mile in my shoes, get to me. It's easy to read a few posts and think you know better than those on the ground and in the trenches.
One of the things that we want to do is move away from the commercial side of Christmas and teach the kids that the holiday isn't always about getting presents. That being said, we will need to prepare them for that in advance
I also just got off the phone with my parents. They want to take Lizze and I out to dinner. This is really cool as well and it will be so nice to have adult conversation. A person can only take so much Lego, Mario and My Little Pony talk be for they go nuts. :-)
When I saw Emmett and Maggie this morning, I was instantly transported back in time to when I was first asked that question. It's just kinda interesting how some things never change. :-)
In Elliott’s latest post, he has a very special Christmas message for his readers. Please be sure to stop by and check it out. :-)
Despite my best efforts to the contrary, nothing ever seems to go as planned.
Today however, we ran into a scheduling conflict and my parents needed their car this morning. That's totally cool and we worked everything out and all was right with the world. That is until I got the phone call.
