It's been a great few days! No, I haven't made up with my mother, I'm BEYOND broke, and still no car. But I have finished my Christmas shopping, my son is home and staying with me and seems to be actually enjoying it and my girls and I have been getting along great! Oh the blessing of having a home of our own!
We have decided that we are going to my mom's Christmas Eve, taking gifts and a dessert and if she doesn't let us in or whatever, we will go out to eat. Either way, after, we are going to ride around and look at lights and come home and get ready for Santa like we always do. We are going to be positive, excited and nothing is going to ruin our Christmas. We are not going to focus on our failures and disappointments of the past year or how different everything is. It's the celebration of the birth of our Savior and we are just going to focus on the joy of holiday and enjoy being together.
I have been so very blessed by my co-workers and the parents of the children in my care and I have a few days off before Christmas to just relax and enjoy being with my kids. Tonight the girls and I got started on our holiday baking.
I hadn't had time to get my nails done lately and if you know me at all, you know how I am about my nails! I will eat pb&j and sit in the dark all bundled up if I have to but I'm getting my nails done! Oh but the move and everything....I peeled the acrylic off and had been trying to give it up but it is so painful, in more ways than one. Well, one of the parents got me a gift certificate to get them done! A sign from God that He approves of this expenditure/indulgence? I think so! lol So I'm going to get them redone tomorrow.
We are also going shopping, the kids and I and possibly have lunch somewhere. Then tomorrow night we venture downtown to the Alabama Theatre to see my all-time favorite movie, It's a Wonderful Life. And maybe my life hasn't been so wonderful this year but it's mine and I love it!
Be blessed and Merry Christmas!
