It's been a while

I can't even remember how long it's been since putting my thoughts in this little computer of mine! So here goes....

I am sooooooo stressed out about Christmas, shopping, and getting into the holiday season. The boys and I walked over to the produce stand today so that we could look at the Christmas trees before buying them when Colin gets paid, and were blown away. The tree that I want is $56.00!!! I remember going to Chubby & Tubby's and getting a tree with my mom and dad for only $20.00.

I am also hand making almost every gift for my friends and family, which I started way too close to Christmas that I don't think that I am going to be done in time. I need to finish my afghan for Dottie, and all the other gifts for the kiddos, including two more afghans!!!

I also decided last minute that I am going to join this years Just Between Friends sale so that I can get rid of all the extra toys the boys have. That way I can make space for all the new CRAP the boys will be getting this year. I just need to go through the toys, organize and package them, then make tags, print tags, stick them on the toys, and bring them to the church to sell them. After a $10.00 fee is taken out, I will receive 60% of the money made from the sale of my belongings.

I am excited for the holidays though, for the first time in a couple of years!
