So Christmas is here and right now I am not in the Spirit for it. I am sure that will change with a little time. I am sure it is because I feel stressed. Had 5 huge swaps I had to finish and post before Dec.1 done, back working evenings at Cleo so I have lost much needed me time. I work 5 days a week, first I watch other peoples kids all day then I go and work 3.5 hours more in a mall doing retail just so we can have some extra money at Christmas time. This year it is tight again so there will not be many presents under the tree. Maybe that is the problem, I will not be able to start Christmas shopping for a least another week but will be doing my Christmas baking this Saturday that is always fun. Then I can make up my gifts for friends and deliver them that will help. Planning on having a friend or 2 over for New Years and doing a fondue party, YUMMY. I have all my kids home this year so we are not going anywhere for Christmas but it sounds like Tyler's parents and brother might be coming down. I CANT wait for that, I love having family over and enjoy it when it is in my home. Will be a little crowded but that is fine and I don't have to worry to much about what is under the tree, they always bring presents for all the kids. Veronica and Cara are sure to get spoiled by them too.
Fred turned 13 this year and we will be having his birthday this weekend, a little later then planned but then he could not decide what he wanted to do for it. Cara is very sick, she is having problems breathing because she is soo congested and she cant nurse so I am pumping and she is finally using a bottle. I hope she starts to get better soon I hate seeing them this little and this sick because there is not much I can do. She got a blessing so I know that will help and see does seem to be breathing better this morning. Tyler has given up the bed so that she can sleep with me. He is so wonderful and thoughtful I don't know what I would do without him. I love him very much...I cant wait until the day we can be sealed together with all our kids as a family in the temple! I know it is in the future for us and I just have to wait and be patience.
Fred and Michaela only have 2 weeks left for school, WOW. Then Michaela heads to Cold Lake to work until Christmas Eve she will be greatly missed. It is such a wonderful opportunity for her. She will be working for a friend of mines parents in their Jewelry store for the Christmas season. She will be working 8 hr days and paid $10/hour so that should be about $500 which is the last amount she needs for her Cuba Trip. She will have paid for the whole thing herself. I am so proud of her doing that and I know she will enjoy the trip much more knowing that she worked to get herself there. Plus while she is gone to Cold Lake it will give Fred the chance to prove himself to Tyler and I because he will have to take up the slack of work that Michaela tends to do. Well I feel much better now and plan on doing some crafting today and that too will pick me up. Merry Christmas all and chat soon I hope.
