I did VERY little today, other than sit around watching TV and playing on the computer. VERY little. Seriously. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. I may need treatment for bed sores if this doesn't stop. Also, a good weight loss program may be called for. I'm just sayin'.
First, Oprah wanted to tell me who to vote for...now she has a movie on in place of Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters. Hag.
Christmas is going to be VERY lean this year. Kevin got tires on his truck on Friday (thank goodness,) my car needs a new muffler, an inspection, and licensing. Add on the end-of-year taxes and the normal monthly bills, and my kids are going to learn quickly how to appreciate what they already have.
Don't get me wrong. My kids have never been the type to ask for a lot. They happily wear hand-me-downs and WalMart clothing, they eat what is put in front of them, without complaining, and we can take a shopping trip without hearing a single "Can I have...."
They are good kids. The problem is, they are so comfortable and happy with what they have, it makes me want to treat them even more! They won't be disappointed, but Kevin and I will.
I will end each day, though, reminding myself what we DO have. We have a warm house, dependable vehicles, plenty to eat, a loving family (immediate and extended) and entertainment.
On the subject of entertainment, let me tell you what has entertained me today. The kids crack me up, and do something daily to entertain me, whether it's a bad joke or a silly dance. I have a computer (so does Kevin) and I often bring a laptop home from work to play on. We have Dish Network, for our viewing pleasure, and radio/CDs for our listening pleasure. There is a dog who takes over our bed, any chance he gets, and 2 cats, who are more fun by the day.
Don't tell Kevin that I told you, but Simba jumped up on the bed this morning, and curled up in front of Kevin while he read a book. Soon, he was sleeping with his head on Kevin's arm, and he started drooling! ROFL Poor Kevin gets no respect.
OK, I guess I'm done rambling. See ya later, mashed potater.

Heck, maybe they should hang out with sis, she can teach them how to shop all day.....
Kevin reads?! Jesse would rather drive a tail in his toe. Sucks for me 'cause I love to read but Jesse just doesn't get it.

At least you aren't burdened with the thought that you have to buy us something too! Aren't you glad Cliff and I stopped that vicious circle with the family? I wish I could remember to give Kevin that Odd Thomas book that we're done with.
Thanks for a good insight on your family. You just proved once again that yall are real people!
