Holiday Blah's

OH MY, I JUST REALIZED THIS IS MY 100th POST...........DARN CAN NOT EVEN HAVE A CONTEST. HAVE LOTS TO GIVE, BUT NO WAY TO GET IT TO ANYONE.......OH WELL, I WILL JUST SIT HERE AND REVEL IN THE "100" POST GLEE.......................

I have started getting the holiday blah's...There will be no Christmas giving this year. My babies will be lucky to get more than 1 thing from us. I had wanted to get them beds for Christmas, with the bedding, and a special night light, but that is out. (or maybe not) I entered a contest sponsored by Art Van furniture and Channel 7 news. Write an essay of 300 or less words on why a room full of furniture is wanted/needed because of hard times, or you can write about someone you know who should get it. Well I wrote about myself. I have wrote things for other people in my life, Like best mom, or Special person, but have never been selfish enough to write something for myself. Until now.

You see my munchkins have outgrown the crib and toddler bed, so their beds are crib mattresses laid on the floor. Of course most of the time they do not even sleep in their room, but if I ever get to the point of them sleeping in there it would have been so nice for them to have real beds, off the cold floor, with special bedding and a special night light. That could be all it took to entice them to sleep in their room.

The holiday blah's are getting so bad, that I have not had much interest in anything. Which is not good, since I have DVS afghans to complete, so that someone else does not go without for Christmas. I have managed to make 4 bet blankets. I am going to get busy on a cardigan and a few other things for my little man for his birthday (12-17) He will at least get something from us, and he will not know the difference. He loves his cardigan I made him, so he will hopefully like whatever I manage to make him for his Birthday. Then I will see what I can make for them both for Christmas. I already told my family that there will no Christmas from us this year. There will be one "thing" that will have a problem with that, but you know what, that is life, and she will just have to deal with it. I could make the kids something, but there is not really anything I could make a teenager, so I will not make for some and leave out others.

Jack found a lead on a job in Wyoming. It is in Rock Spring. The company would pay to relocate us, with a year contract signed. It would be a way that we could do it, the only way we could. It is for an oil company, as a driver. They have other positions available also and the average salary is 45 to 65 thousand an year. I have been investigating the area, and it is in Sweetwater County. There is lots to do in the area, especially Museum wise. There is a 40 store mall. Tons of eating places. The housing is comparable to here, they supposedly have 4 seasons. Low crime rate. And 2 school districts plus a college. The biggest employment opportunities are with Natural Resources. So we shall see what happens with this..... It is still such a scary thought for me to move, so far away from all of our family, my mother said that they are retired now, so they would come to see us, maybe only 2 times a year, but they would come. If it is meant to be then it will happen. God will lead us the right way and where we need to go. And so far this is it. I just have to remember that.

Well the kids are wanting to go outside and play, so I guess I had better get my butt in gear and see about getting them ready and myself.

Hope everyone has a blessed day.................
