Growin with it

Mondays after a long weekend are always such a sad time for me. I absolutely love having all my guys home with me. And it is pretty depressing to see them all leave for a new week on monday mornings. The house seems so much quieter and then I have to pay more attention to my house cleaning. Boo hoo.

Well, so, what in the world do I blog about now that the turkey is thawed, cooked and eaten? Life will never be the same. In fact, it seems kinda boring now that I don't have any drama around! So when all else fails....ramble!

• My boys had a massive pillow fight with my hubster last thursday. The kind where every possible pillow is a weapon. This also means that the pillowcases fly off and so no one can identify their old pillow they'd been using. This is tragic for a girl who has a thing about the 4 pillows she uses and the particular spot they are in on the bed. So unfortunately I have the wrong ones. Which has resulted in a kink either in my neck or back and it has really cramped my style (I think I'm so funny don't I?) I have gone way past the recommended dosage of Aleve and the heating pad feels like it is a permanent fixture to my shoulders. What a whiner, I know. And for anyone with real back issues I am probably sounding pitiful. Humor me.
  
  
• My hubster is a master at projects. If you have watched *Jon & Kate plus 8* you will understand when I say I am very simliar to Kate. So much it's scary sometimes. Bossy Bessy here. Anyways, when he sets his mind to a project he really goes for it. My guff is that it takes much longer than my patience allows. So when he put our tree up and decorated it with the lights I took a break and figured he'd be awhile. Unfortunately he decided to put white and red lights on it. Soooo not what this control freak was wanting. We always do just white lights. I knew by the look in his poor, tired eyes that I better keep this big 'ol mouth shut. Hmph..I'll work with it. And at least it wasn't the blue lights laying in the box. Although a patriotic tree does sound pretty! **now I'm feeling all insecure and whacko on a pmsin' monday. I do not boss my husband around that much. Well at least I hope I don't and don't think I do? Oh brother. I love "Kate" but she does need a chill pill now and then. And now I'm wondering if I need one at this moment too. Just don't think I'm mean to my husband okay people?!!


• I received my "Pay it forward" gift from Tiffany. It is THE most wonderful book evah! I am in love with it. Just my kinda fun. I can't believe Tiffany and I have never met and she sent me such a perfect book! And if you are looking for a gift to give anyone this year...I think this is a winner!:

I talked with my dad last week. He is scheduled for a cat scan on the 17th and we will know the results on the 23rd. I'm praying for a good "present". And I appreciate your prayers too.

Hope your Monday is kind.

And if not, crank up the Christmas music louder. It helps!
