LAZY WEEKEND

WHAT A LAZY BUM I HAVE BEEN THIS WEEKEND. I DIDNT WORK FRIDAY AND REALLY DIDNT ACCOMPLISH MUCH AROUND HERE AT HOME BUT THE BASICS. I DID GET TO PURCHASE A FEW CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR THE KIDS THOUGH. THATS ALWAYS FUN TIL YOU RUN OUT OF MONEY..LOL. SATURDAY I WORKED TILL 3. HAD A POT OF CHILI ON ALL DAY WHILE I WAS WORKING SO DINNER WAS DONE. AND THEN MANAGED TO RENT A COUPLE OF MOVIES FOR THE FAMILY TO WATCH. CLINT DECIDED TO STAY IN LAST NIGHT FROM THE HUNTING DUE TO RAINY WEATHER. MEAN WHILE THE THINGS I REALLY WANTED TO DO WENT UNDONE FOR THE TIME BEING...... IT FEELS GOOD TO JUST FORGET EVERYTHING ONCE IN A WHILE. BUT THE BAD THING IS IT DOESNT GO AWAY WHEN YOU RETURN TO REALITY. THE DOWNSTAIRS NEEDS TO BE CLEANED AND READY FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER. I LOVE COOKING AND SETTING A BEAUTIFUL TABLE SETTING FOR THE KIDS WHEN THEY COME HOME FOR DINNER. I MAKE THEM ALL WRITE DOWN ONE THING THEY ARE THANKFUL FOR THIS YEAR, AND SOMEBODY ELSE HAS TO READ IT. THE LITTLE KIDS GET A LITTLE SILLY BUT ITS STILL A FUN THING TO DO. I TRY AND KEEP THE LITTLE PAPERS FROM THE YEARS GONE BY JUST TO LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING YEARS. THIS YR THE HOLIDAYS ARE ON THURSDAY BOTH DAYS . AND I HAVE TO SPEND ALL DAY WED. WITH MOM AND I HAVE TO WORK BOTH MONDAYS BEFORE TO MAKE UP FOR THE DAYS I TAKE OFF AFTER THE HOLIDAYS, SOOOO.. I HAVE TO HAVE MOST THINGS DONE AND PREPARED THE WEEKEND BEFORE. ITS GOING TO BE A BUSY TIME BUT THATS THE STORY OF MY LIFE BUSY BUSY. I GUESS I GET BETTER UNDER PRESSURE... BECAUSE JUST SITTING HERE THINKING ABOUT IT GETS NOTHING DONE..LOL. I REALLY WANT TO HAVE ALL THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS FOR OUTSIDE HUNG BEFORE THANKSGIVING, SO WHEN THEY ALL LEAVE THAT NIGHT I CAN TURN THEM ON AND LET THE GRANDKIDS GET ALL EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS TIME AT GRAMMAS. IF YOU KNOW ME YOU KNOW I LIKE TO DECORATE AND MAKE IT A WINTER WONDERLAND AT THE HOLIDAYS... TIMES ARE TIGHT NOW A DAYS AND I HOPE THIS WILL MAKE ALOT OF PEOPLE REALISE THAT ITS NOT THE MATERIAL THINGS THAT MAKE IT CHRISTMAS. ITS CHRIST BIRTH, THE TRUE MEANING OF THE DAY IS ALL ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOR CHRIST JESUS. WE ALL NEED TO GET BACK TO THE TRUE REASON OF THE SEASON THIS HOLIDAY. SURE ITS NICE TO GIVE A GIFT, BUT EVEN NICER TO KNOW THAT THIS TINY BABY THAT WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM MANY YEARS AGO, IS OUR ONLY HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. LETS ALL PRAY THAT THIS WILL BE THE YEAR THAT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL OPEN UP THEIR HEARTS TO THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS....AMEN ANOTHER IDEA FOR PEOPLE WILLING TO GO THE EXTRA MILE... DO WHAT WE ARE DOING AT OUR SALON....ADOPT A FAMILY IN NEED THIS CHRISTMAS, ITS A WONDERFUL FEELING YOU GET WHEN YOU KNOW YOU ARE TRULY MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEBODYS LIFE THAT IS HAVING REAL HARD TIMES . GOD HAS BLESSED US ALL WITH SO MUCH ITS WEIGHS ON YOUR CONSCIENCE NOT TO GIVE BACK. IF ANYONE HAS EMPTY SHOE BOXES, FILL THEM UP WITH SUPPLIES THAT CAN BE SENT TO THE STATES THAT HAVE BEEN HIT BY HURRICANES, PERSONAL NEEDS, SEWING ITEMS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES, SOCKS /GLOVES, HATS, ANYTHING THAT WILL FIT THAT CAN BE OF PRACTICAL USE. HOW DEVISTATING IT MUST BE TO HAVE A HOME ONE DAY AND THEN THE NEXT HAVE IT COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED BY A STORM. WE NEED TO KEEP THESE PEOPLE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ALSO. THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO GIVE THIS CHRISTMAS...AND DONT FORGET THE OLD NEWSBOYS OUT THERE . LETS ALL MAKE A PROMISE TO PUSH OURSELVES A LITTLE HARDER THAN USUAL TO HELP OTHERS THIS YEAR.......REMEMBER WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.....
