Day 30: The Last Day of NaBloPoMo

So, I did it.  Today is the final post of November.  I can’t believe I actually posted every day for a whole month.
Today has been spent with more organizing.  If Santa is in fact going to come see Thomas we really needed to weed out some of his toys.  Some went into storage while some [...]

Day 29: More Christmas Confusion

I go to the grocery store every Monday.  (And most other days, but always on Monday.)  The Salvation Army bucket has been outside the store several times we have gone lately.  Starting last year I always have Thomas put money in the bucket when he is with me.  I was more sporadic in putting money in [...]

Day 28: Christmas shopping with Thomas

I have a weakness.  I feel that my son needs everything that he wants.  Luckily, my funds don’t allow this to be something that I can act on or we would need to add on several wings to our house to accommodate all of his crap.  I went to Target today to go “Christmas shopping” [...]

Day 27: On being thankful

I am usually pretty thankful for what I have.  I know I have a great family, friends, life.  There are times I would like more, but am most of the time more than content with what I have and realize I have so much more than so many.  And so much more than I need.  [...]

Day 26: More Painting

Okay, so today I painted the baseboards in Thomas’ bathroom.  I am going crazy here.  The rest of my house is a complete disaster, but the baseboards in my bathrooms are beautiful!!
I can’t believe that my month of posting everyday is almost up.  I would like to still keep posting often, but just not do [...]

Day 25: Do you notice today’s date?

November 25th.  Do you know what that means?  1 month exactly until Christmas.  I can’t believe it.  I love Christmas and the season, but hate the work and exhaustion that goes along with it.  I love decorations, but don’t want to decorate.  I love gift giving, but don’t want to shop.  I love gift getting, [...]

Day 24: Opening Pandora’s Box

I decided that today I was going to clean the house.  From one end to the other, top to bottom.  Get it ready for the holidays.  However, I have been at it for 2 1/2 hours and I’ve only finished my bathroom and part of the hallway.  1 1/2 “rooms.”  Once I was done mopping my [...]

Day 23: No shopping for us

I am not an after Thanksgiving shopper.  I just don’t think that any sale is really worth it.  Just too crowded and too many angry, tired people.  Today was not different.  It also helped that we were in Cedar Key.  It’s far from any shopping and I am good with that.  We had a lazy [...]

Day 22: Too Full to post

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Day 21: A Bunch of Turkeys

On Monday Thomas had his very first little presentation. It was the first of many. I do hope he starts performing a little more in them though or they’re going to be very anti-climatic.  He didn’t sing, he played with his ear.

He did, however, actually eat after the performance which made me a little more [...]
