Thank-you!

I just wanted to say a big Thank-You to my family for putting up with me during the Christmas season. I wish I looked like this each and every day but unfortunately I didn't. After those last parties I started feeling a little stressed out because I was so far behind. Plus--I tend to take on a lot of projects that sound great and I really want to do but....I sometimes forget how busy our lives are and then I am frustrated that I am not getting anything done. My family just kind of puts up with me and sometimes they just try to stay out of my way. I want my kids to know how much I appreciate them giving me many chances--let me give one example. I was frustrated because I didn't really know what the older kids wanted and it was getting closer and closer to Christmas. I decided to take them all shopping for some clothes but was not in a happy mood. Nothing in particular was bothering me just stressed. It should have been a great time--laughing, joking, singing Christmas songs etc (sounds perfect huh!) Lets just say it didn't quite turn out that way and luckily for me, my kids forgave me for my rantings. It's quite easy to get going with two teenagers and two adults! I love my kids and sometimes I am truly sad that they are growing up so quickly. I know it's selfish but I am okay with that! Anyway---thanks family for helping me and letting me get my stuff done so we could have a Great Christmas. I love you!
