Home Grown...

This is what I've learned about other peoples kids...

They are annoying.

It isn't so much that they are brats (although some are). Just that they weren't raised in my home...and thus don't play by my rules. It's wearing.

"Don't touch the ornaments on the tree."
"Don't play in the formal living room."
"Don't get up from the table until you're finished eating."
"Don't ride the dog."

I swear...the little things you take for granted about your own children.

Mine might not be spectacular...but they know how to live in my home...and that is just fine by me!!

Hanging on my tree...

Recieved a box from my momma. In it was an ornament that has hung on my grandmothers tree for...forever. A little white glass mitten with my name & birthdate on it.

Kinda made me sad.

I think my grandparents should climb in that humungo RV I've heard so much about and come see me.

Because really...what fun is it to have a rolling mansion if you can't use it to see your eldest granddaughter?

That...and getting all of these little trinkets from thier house makes me feel like they are gone. This is NOT a good way to feel!!!

*eh hem* Case...in...Point!!!

In a Matter of Days...

It's snowing.
The house is warm.
And in a matter of days my entire family will be on winter vacation.

I'm so excited! We aren't taking any trips or doing anything particularly special. I'm simply thrilled at the prospect of driving around to see Christmas lights, staying up late to watch holiday movies, and getting some things done around the house.

Okay, okay...so it might not be all that exciting...but I'll take it!
