Well, after that last post, I should really back off the negativity. NOT, absolutely NOT because someone may not like what I write, but because my days are greatly guided by my mindset. If I'm negative, my day sucks. If I'm positive, I can survive the holiday craziness that is my job.
My husband is the bomb. I know I sound like a broke record, but this time of year really sucks at my job. Don't get me wrong, I like having the OT to pay those holiday bills, but I miss my family and my life (I worked 63.75 hours last week.) Each night, I drive home wondering what we'll fix for dinner (he always helps, if he doesn't do it all himself) and wondering how much homework I'll....errrr...the kids will have.
Tonight, Kevin ordered Pyramid Pizza and brought home some beer for his tired wife. It was so nice to relax and not sweat it. We ate pizza, then the girl's fun began. I brought home a huge box and several large pieces of cardboard from work. The kids (Brett helped the girls when needed) built many things from this great treasure. The last I saw was a "tunnel" which leads between the chair and couch into the living room.
My kids are smart and creative and so thankful for something as simple as a cardboard box. They don't beg for things at the grocery store, don't ask for high-dollar gifts, and thank us for pizza as if it were large sums of cash. Life here is good. 2 more weeks, and work life will be good again, too.
What more could I ask for? (rhetorical, ok?)

But I know you felt better after that last rant! Yep, the kids are good at making their own fun (if you can get them off the computer... wonder where they got THAT flaw?)
