Christmas

Ok! So we are pretty close to Christmas only 11 days away, and it still doesn't feel like christmas. Maybe it because, I haven't been able to spend the money I wanted to. Then I level it with they have to much already. So let me rephrase, I haven't spent the money I wanted to on me!!! Yes, I am so selfish, their are so many gadets I want for my scrapbooking like a printer and a scanner that does 12x12 pages, because like so many I am addicted. Let us move on, I really wanted to get my hubby something great this year, instead of the typical (socks, slippers, underware). I always feel like he does so much for us, and gives and never really asks for anything. I think in a way he reflects Christ for me, I think I can stand to learn how to be as giving as he is with me and the kids. I feel like a princess most of the time. Shhhhh.......don't tell Mike he might stop or get a big head or something

Other than that I have been in a contest for digital scrapbooking to be on a creative team for browniescraps.com I am going to post on of my favorite pictures or layout. Let me know what you think!

Love much

1 day

I have been needed time alone and this was the perfect opportunity. Love my Hubby, but just needed not to be bothered by any conversation or kids wanting to be with me! I know I just sound horrible, I am very grateful for the gifts I have in my kids and my hubby. It was great scrappin with Jaymie, I had so much fun chatting, and eating the cookies. I scrapped until about 3 am, I fed Norah 1 last time and then went to bed. This morning I woke up changed diapers fed everyone breakfast, lotioned everyone down, which was Caroline and Norah. I drank 2 cups of coffee(with peppermint mocha creamer and hot chocolate in it) uninterrupted, ate butter and biscuits, and checked email and facebook, and worked on some digital scrapbook pages. I think they are fantastic. I keep thinking where is God in my 1 day alone? I guess he is in the fact that I got rest not like sleep rest, but like brain rest. With Christmas comming I think we all need to rest before the season overwhelms us and we forget What the real joy is.

I don't know about you but I love the birth of babies, Nothing makes me more happy and satisfied than knowing another being has entered the world. So the christ child being brought in to this world is exciting. I know thejoy of babies this holiday season, because my baby girl Norah is now 3 months and Shelby had Sarah. See I told you I am excited.

Anyway, I will not bore you any more!

Thanks for putting up with me!
