BAH HUMBUG!!!!!!
So, I have been told by a few that I need to post some new stuff. Seeing as how we have no new news I am not sure what to post. I guess I could post that Mike still has No Job, But nobody wants to hear that. I could post that I am just like my mom and HATE Christmas, but then you would all think that something was wrong with me. Now I know your all going to ask why I hate Christmas so here it is. I hate Christmas because, ever since I could remember it was just a time of stress. I remember my mom always yelling at us that we were ungrateful for this or don't deserve that. Now that I am a mom I find myself doing the same. I also hate the whole gift thing. We have never had the money to buy what is wanted for our kids, yet always find a way to get them at least one thing they want. I just hate the stress of trying to find it and deciding what to get. Then you have the decorations, I hate the mess of getting them out. The mess it makes in finding the room to put the tree up. UGH!!!! I guess I shouldn't be this way, but I am my mothers, daughter!!!!! Did I mention my birthday is right after Christmas and on my sisters birthday..... and for those of you who don't know, I come from a family of 8 kids!
I know some of you will say that Christmas isn't about the gifts. Or that I need to get back to the true meaning of Christmas, but lets get real you all have felt this way at one point in your life. Besides try explaining it to my 6 year old why Santa isn't coming. I think from now on every year right after Thanksgiving I am going to become Jehovahs witness. (that's just a joke)
As for a post we are all fine. We are still alive, but wishing we could get rid of these sore throats that keep coming and going. Hunter had his eardrum break a few days ago and it now keeps draining. He will see the ENT on Monday for that. Brock has been fighting something, needless to say he may not pass the first grade because of all the school he has missed. The only one who hasn't been sick is sweet Kilee. She has been good to me and sleeps for 8 hours a night. The only problem is it starts at 7pm.
Well Merry Christmas to you all, hope you got the right present for your kids!

we have not decorated, I don't plan on it and we didn't even get a tree, so you are more "christmas-y" than I am!
If I had my way, this is how christmas would go. Instead of buying presents, and decorating,a nd feeling guilty because you didn't get anything for your neighbor who brought you something, you use all the money you would put on christmas and go on an amazing vacation. A cruise, to Europe. It would be a cool family tradition, and probably cheaper because not a lot of people do that kind of thing for christmas.
Sorry you are feeling Bah-humbuggy!
OH do you need a hug!! LOL Cheer up after all it is the MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!!!
All I can say is that you are not alone. That is my world exactly but then I have to get gifts for people that make twice what I make and have everything and when asked say "oh you don't have to get us anything" ya like I am going to spend the day at their house with no gifts for them. Every year I say I am not celebrating and evey year I have the same stress. I don't even have kids and I go through it so like I said you are not alone.
Okay I just re-read your post and thought I would make a comment about the "right toy". Don't you know that kids (your's age especially) change there mind every time they see a new comercial. I bet Brock has changed his mind at least 3 times. You will go crazy (and broke) if you try to find them all. I would go for the one they ask for the most. or get just one and they will have to deal with it.
I am sorry Heidi, I had no idea the kind of stress or your feelings about christmas. I hope things will get better and they will. Don't be afraid to lean on family. we are there for you.
Hey I was going to tell you that we need to join the humbug club. It is in England but we can start our own chapter here. What do you think? Just thought I would give you something to think about.
