Love and Peace

I have such a strange feeling about today. In some ways, it's such a relief. It's close to the end of the work week. I am just about finished with all of the baking, shopping, wrapping, etc. that comes along with Christmas. That feels so good to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

It's also been a year since....

And as hard as 2005 has been on me and my family (in more ways than I can count), I am so happy and blessed to be where I am today. Surrounded by the people in my little circle of the world. I know I take that for granted - always wishing that there was more to my life, more in the way of material things, or emotional things, or spiritual things.

I need to slow down and enjoy what is my life.

So, to the small group of friends who read this blog (and anyone who randomly stops by), Merry Christmas! I wish you all the peace and happiness that Christmas brings. I also wish you incredible joy in the new year.

Love and Peace,
Kelly

I am a Griswold

I’m still here.

I really do feel like a Griswold with the giant pee machine for a dog, the dining room table that looks like a charity gift wrapping booth, and hopefully enough painkillers to get me through the holidays without going insane!

I have been rushing around like a maniac trying to get Christmas stuff done. Every year, I try to get things done early and it never works. I might get two things done and then everything else is just a huge rush. Now, my husband and I are trying to track down the Fisher Price Shake n' Go speedway that seems to be the hot item for little boys this year. I'm not ready to pay $80 on ebay. It may just have to wait until my son's birthday.

I have just been really busy (I know…who hasn’t been?) and our Internet connection at home is horrible. (another example of something I need to check into and just haven’t had time)

Oh, and happy birthday to my nephew, Ryan. He is getting to be such a big boy.

So, to make up for not posting in ages, here is a picture of my son from the Fall festival. See how behind I am!!??


So, if you see a green blur going down the road or swooshing by you in a store, that's me. I only have twelve more days!! Just move out of the way! :)
