Sending out Christmas Cards



Oh how nice it is to have talented children. (thanks, Jen for designing my Christmas card!) I know, I am shamelessly bragging about my kids, (who are all grown adults now) so bear with me for a minute. I am so proud of all of them. They are gifted and talented and thoughtful and respectful and kind. I thank God for allowing me to be their mother.

Nine years ago on Dec. 13th I had a massive heart attack. It was a day none of us will ever forget. I died. twice. and came back to be able to enjoy seeing my children grow into five fine adults. I have been given a gift beyond measure...and Christmas will always have a special meaning for me.

Dear Santa:




Um. Yeah. Well really Santa...all I want is a few more hours in a day. Or maybe you can help me with some time management. Because I'm really bad lately. I just don't feel like I can get anything done. Well, anything that I'd LIKE to do...I'm too busy doing the stuff that I HAVE to do. Now I just have to shift Christmas shopping into the HAVE TO DO column and I'll be all set.

Oh I know, I'm whining and that means a lump of coal in my stocking.
Off to do some dishes and laundry and making dinner. Harrumph.
