Christmas is not going anywhere here

Well, it is January 18 and we still have a lot of Christmas decorations to get down. Sometimes I wonder if it will ever end. I want to go t Auburn this weekend. I need to throw a roll of toilet paper in the trees! And more than that I want a picture of my boys doing it. I need to get the Christmas decorations down. What should I do? Here is the thing, part of my resolution is not to stress and enjoy life, which would put Auburn first. It is also to be more organized and on top of things, this would put Christmas first. Grrr.....

My pictures of the boys are of them sleeping again. Mainly because they both went to school today and then Danny had choir and Brandon picked him up and took him to basketball, then when he got home he finished homework, got in the shower and then went to bed. John Michael and I played for a while and then he took a bath and went to bed. I wanted to be in bed by nine, that obviously did not happen I will try again tomorrow night.

My other picture is of the gifts that I have purchased, and some actually wrapped for Christmas 2011. Some areas of my life I have organized. If only I could get it all there. Anyway, I am proud of my progress so I wanted to share. I have a few more bags in the van, and I hope that I have it all wrapped before February party time. Mainly so I can get it in boxes and put away.

Well, my mom and her friends arrived safely in California but not without a little excitement. The wheel on her suitcase broke at the Birmingham airport. Now she has pink (and I mean hot pink) luggage. When she saw it again in Sacramento she said that it was black. Her friends told her it looked like quarer luggage from a garage sale. She was upset, but it was pretty funny. Tomorrow they go to San Fransisco, Alcatraz beware...these three could end up being the tourist attraction! I love you guys and am just kidding! I hope that they have a wonderful time and that one of them took a camera, I know my mom didn't her son managed to take that with him...convienient huh?! Anyone who knows him knows what I am talking about.

Well as I head to bed I remember all of my friends and family in my prayers and I hope that they do the same for me. I know that there are some serious questions that I have been praying for the answers to. I also pray that the winter weather stays away at least for this weekend. I am so over being cold and stuck inside.
