Christmas signs everywhere

Christmas is everywhere. Don't know if you have noticed, but everywhere you go there are little signs of it fast approaching.

I am not complaining I love CHRISTMAS and I was thinking this morning should I put my Christmas tree down stairs in our family room or upstairs near the fireplace......... We would enjoy it more downstairs, but maybe I should stay with the usual tradition of the upstairs family room................

All these decisions. I don't know what's stopping me, but I would like to start decorating...... Putting out all my little santa clauses and mini christmas trees that I have collected over the years.............. I am ready to sprinkle fake snow all over my decorated tables..................... I need to stop dreaming........

Well, gotta go my 4 year old beckons.................. gotta run............

love,

me

ToDAY

Today I have nothing to say, but just thought I would send a hello to YOU........

Nothing going on, but still everything is going on outside of my window........

Went this morning to have donuts with my kiddies and laughed as I saw that my youngest had sugar all over his face all the way to his ears and he just sat there enjoy his donut not even knowing he looked very funny. You know how those original krispy kreme donuts are very messy but very yummy right??????

We went to church to thank GOD for everything he gives us everyday and I am truly grateful.

My husbands back in CHINA or SHANGHI for a week so one good thing is that I don't have to cook.

We are on our way to see ZATHURA at the movies in a few..... I am hoping I won't fall asleep as I usually do....

I hope I did not bore you all. Have a great day to you and yours.

love,

me

Plus, I got tagged by DENISE L. on a few questions that I really need to give a little thought to before I answer.

Yesterdays ADVENTURE

My son and I decided to take a little ride over to OLD ST. Charles to walk along the river. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL day a little chilly, but bright and sunny and lots of fallen LEAVES.

Instead of walking by the river we walked on the train tracks. I don't know but I think my son may be a reincarnated train engineer. HE LOVES trains don't know why, but I guess he doesn't understand why I love what I love.

WE had a great time jumping and walking through all those beautiful crunchy dried leaves in colors of yellow, brown, red, orange. It was fun. I let myself go a little and pretended I was four again.

I then became mommy and we walked by all those little shops down there. I love that area. Love the homes, the great little shops all dressed up inside ready for CHRISTMAS................. I need to make a few friend and I dates to go visit the little shops. I was not able to do any looking yesterday because as soon as I said let's go in to the store my 4 yr old decided he had a headache. THE HEADACHE excuse I guess I don't blame him. It's more fun walking and rummbling through those leaves...........

SENDING A SHOUT OUT

Feeling terrible in my little world

I had to do something that I really did not want to do, but it was for the best of all. I gave my cute little SUSHI away to a Chihuahua rescue here in M.O.

I feel like ---- about it. I feel like I failed him. How could I do this to my little dog I just wanted the best for him and I think our home was not the best at this time.

He was really a good doggie when my 4 yr old was not around and when my other dog was not around. It also was not fair to our other dog TOBIE because it seems that SUSHI came and took over. Took over his food plate, took over our family room, just took over and TOBIE being a very passive dog did not do anything to stand his ground.

I am sorry SUSHI I hope that I did not let you down and that you will be much happier with your new home. I know KIM will take good care of you.

Love, MOM

HEY KELLEY.........

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS..............and stay sweet
