Hello again fellow bloggers. I don't know how long it has been, but it has been a long time since I was here.
Today is Red's 11th birthday. I can't believe that it has been 11 years since he was born. He is my wonderful lovable guy. He is also very annoying and demanding, but I love him more than I can believe.
He decided that his much loved teddy bear needed a sweater because the bear is starting to loose some of his fur and is getting cold. So I dug out my crochet needle and got some yarn from friends and made his bear a sweater. Now the interesting part is, the bear wasn't allowed to know about the sweater because it is the bears present from Santa. We will be seeing Santa at a family Christmas dinner on Saturday and Santa must give the bear the sweater.
That was fun. Then Babes decides that his dog needs a sweater so it doesn't feel left out. Luckily the dog is a very sound sleeper because his sweater needed several fittings.
The whole time I am doing this Girlie is laughing her head off at me making sweaters that the stuffed animals can't see. I think it is great that my boys are still childlike enough to worry about their stuffed animals feelings.
My mood lately had been pretty good until the cookie fairy (my M-I-L) showed up and baked about 6 dozen cookies and left them all here. Her sugar cookies are very hard for me to resist and all the extra sugar has dropped my mood. That along with some financial problems we are having to deal with. I decided to let the financial worries alone for a couple of days leading up to the birthday. Tomorrow I will be back to the phone calls and trying to figure out how to stretch $2000 a month to pay $2800 in bills. Hoping that refinancing the mortgage will help. We also closed two credit cards and are only using the 3rd for the payments for the kids orthodontia.
OH, that is right, you guys probably don't know, all 3 of the kids are in the middle of orthodontic treatments. Fun. Especially because Red keeps misplacing his bottom expander. I wish there was a way that it could be permanently installed like his upper one was. Well I will keep praying that he finds it.
I guess that is about it for tonight. Except for Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
