Little late posting this but Robert turned 17 on Tuesday December 16th. I cant believe that he is 17 seems just like yesterday I was headed to the hospital to have him. If anyone could have told me what the last 17 years would have been like I would have probably ran the other way.....Not really (well maybe on certain days) Its so hard to imagine my little boy growing up, it still amazes me that when he gives me hugs he has to lean down, seems like yesterday it was me leaning down to hug and kiss on him! In some ways it makes me sad that he is growing up, but at the same time it has some advantages. Well anyway I just wanted to take a minute and Wish my Baby Boy HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love you, I'm so glad that I'm your mom and so very proud of you!!!

Holiday Spirit Update


Thought I would give you all an update on my goal of having Holiday Cheer. Well so far I have been singing Christmas Carols at work and sometimes bust out a rousing rendition of "You better watch out" when I'm driving. My Christmas tree is up but not decorated yet, but it will be by Christmas. I think I am making great progress at being better this Christmas, and not being a Scrooge, so on that note I wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR

SCROOGE NO MORE!

I must confess for the last few years I have absolutely hated hated hated did I mention hated Christmas. The whole decorating the tree, the shopping and most of all it seems like we just get done with 4Th of July and they are putting out Christmas, it just doesn't make for a very very joyful time. But this year I have decided that I am going to force myself to enjoy Christmas by remembering the real reason we celebrate. I must admit that so far it has been easy, I have even found myself singing along to the Christmas Carols. I am getting in the spirit and am looking forward to decorating my tree, (its up but not decorated yet) making Christmas cookies and candy, and even shopping! In fact I think I shall carry on this tradition making it a yearly occurrence in our house! I hope you can handle all the good cheer that I will be showing this year!
