Christmas Eve and all is Merry!

We made it to Christmas eve. The hubby fixed the lopsided Christmas tree. The house is clean and the Grandparents look like they will be able to come over tonight to celebrate with their grandchildren. We didn't know until today if they could come over or not with the weather and the snow. The hubby is outside shoveling the snow away and the children are down for there quiet times. I'm sitting and relaxing listening to the ringing in my ears. How fun for me! I guess I can turn on the music. Okay that's better. I tried my music player on facebook and it disappeared. I hate facebook sometimes especially when they changed it to this new format. Loved the old way better. Oh well, life changes sometimes even if you don't like it. This year has been good, sometimes challenging and we had so much blessings this year for our family. We made it another year and not so much wiser..lol!!! I love my family so much. We're a good crew and sometimes we all could take a break but at the end of the day we know what's important. I think my laptop keyboard just broke a piece. I don't know what's it's for but it's this little black thing. I think I should keep it and ask the hubby when he comes in. I love that he's a whiz at computers. All my computer needs I can go to him as my to go guy. Someone asked me the other day what my new year resolution will be for 2009 and I had to think about it. I don't know really. I don't diet because of the eating disorder and I could exercise more but at the moment exercising is put on hold because of the blood pressure problem so that's out of the question. I guess being more mindful and love my family more. Make my family first and get my health under control by putting pressure on all my Doctor's to figure out my health problems. I do everything they ask of me but they need to do more. I just want my family to do more giving of ourselves this year by volunteering of our time. We donate to charity but volunteering we need to start doing more. This will be a challenge because of the ages of my children but it doesn't hurt to start them out young to help people who need it. I'll have to research more on this. I would like to travel more this year if day trips are only the thing we can afford. Oregon is a beautiful State and I'll like to see more of it. I want my children to learn more about themselves and to find things that will interest them. Wow I'm on a roll and now I can think of a lot more things I want for 2009. I guess I just want my family to be the best we can be and to love ourselves more and to love others who need loving. That's what I want for 2009. Oh yeah, I want to stop smoking. I know it's bad. I've been trying to quit all 2008. I quit for awhile and then started up again. I think I quit 4 times this past year. So this is another resolution for 2009. Quit Smoking for good!!! I was just thinking about this Christmas season. I haven't been stressed out. I'm typically a mess around the holidays but this year was different and I think it's because I didn't do more than what I'm capable with all my health issues so I didn't over extended myself. I went simple and kept it a fun time. The boy finally relaxed to the Christmas decorations and he finally started liking Santa. Everything is all good. Enjoy this time with family!!! Take care, Peace!!!!

Merry Christmas!
