Ho Ho Ho


The tree is up and decorated, the village is set up, other misc chrismas decorations can be spotted through out the house. The outside is a small beacon of lights sure to blind single prop pilots. Alexis is asking for everything, and having small meltdowns on a regular basis..... yup its beginging to look a lot like christmas. The presents are just about all bought. No cookies or candies yet but hoping to start on those this weekend.






My best friend Rhonda-http://ledbesidestillwaters.blogspot.com/ wrote in her blog about finding super heros in the Nativity set some years ago,and it got me to thinking about Christmas's past when Tyler was little I would find those little plastic green army men all over the tree, and base camp set up all around the bottom of the tree. And then the enemys camp would be set up in my village scene I remember getting a little bent about those things back then. Now Tyler is 18 almost 19 has his own apartment, a good job, a girlfriend and not alot of room for his momma right now ( which is ok I understand) he spent Thanksgiving at the girlfriends parents and stopped in for about 15 here, and when asked about christmas he hesitated and talked about the girlfriend ect... I like this girl and maybe shes the one...




By Gods grace I get to do Santa and all the wonder again with Alexis-(and when I say by Gods grace I mean it cause I was on depo shot when I got preggers with her) and Im hoping I wont get as bent when barbies and my little ponies parade around the village scene.

FUNDRAISER OR TAKE FROM THE LESS FORTUNATE


OK Uncle all ready!!! Its the third week of school and we are in our second fundraiser all ready. I really really hate this one, this is the one were we sell $14.00 cookie dough-place and bake. I personally don't give a rip that they are made right here in Austin or that Embassy Suite uses them, 14.00 for cookie dough is freakin insane!! plus they hype the kiddos up with all these so called prizes that are cheaper than the dollars store stuff, and the hype up if you sell 30 boxes you get to go in a limo to Chuckie cheeses do the math 30 X 14=$420.00 insane I tell ya. At least half of our school district falls below poverty they are struggling to keep food on the table and gas in the cars and the PTA does this-Now I know you are saying don't like it join the PTA change it, I am a member and I bitched till I was blue in the face last year and got no where!! Basically I was told by the president no less, why are you complaining you own your own business you live in the country club district

you should have no problem selling. AAARRGGHHHHHH you snotty stuck up no nothing wooohaa. I just don't get it.... I pay school taxes, I volunteer at school we go to all the functions, we even go to Cicis pizza night- which for those of you that don't have Cicis its all you can eat pizza for 4.99 so you can imagine the quality. Anyways Ill shut up and put up and sell the dang dipped in gold cookies. BUT I DONT HAVE TO LIKE IT
