WHEW! Is it Christmas yet? I swear the time just seems to fly by, the older I get. It seems like just yesterday Boston and I were playing in the swimming pool in the backyard and now I'm sitting here wrapped up in a bathroom.
This time of year is always crazy busy - not just with Christmas and holiday stuff - but with my job. Seems like home health admissions sky-rocket when it starts getting colder and this year is certainly no exception. We've all been pulling 12 hour days for about a month now and it's really starting to take it's toll. I actually fell asleep during a conference call the other day. Thank goodness I had my phone on mute so they couldn't hear me snore.
This year we have the added activities of wedding planning. I told you that Jenn would have the thing planned before the first of the year and she's right on track. We went looking at dresses a few weeks ago and ended up finding THE DRESS. It's absolutely beautiful - all lace and very vintage looking. Hunter went with us and was such a trip - he definitely had an opinion about the dresses with comments such as "too sparkly" or "too plain". First time I've ever seen an almost 5 year old behave that long at a dress shop. Boston was hunting rabbits with his new puppy and Justin & Poppy. He wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes in the store and neither would have the dressses.
Life is good despite setbacks. Money just seems to get tighter and tighter. Christmas is going to be bare-bones this year but that's okay. We've all gotten way too extravagant during Christmas and that tends to muddle the reason for the season.
Still haven't heard from the Judge on the final divorce settlement and papers. We were joking the other day that it's like TheColdOne is my "albatross" - the weight around my neck that I just can't seem to get rid of. I try to not fret about it because I know that it is all part of God's plan and I need to quit trying to do His job - but damn it's hard. I do miss being married this time of year though. I miss not having someone to cuddle up with in bed on these cold nights. Oh well - better to have a dry crust eaten in peace than steak eaten in strife.
Keep fighting the good fight and hang in through the tough times. No matter how bad things seem, there is always someone with much more serious issues than you. When you are as tired as I am, that's the only thing that keeps me going - being thankful no matter what my circumstances because things could be a heckuva lot worse - and believe me, they have been MUCH worse.
May God Continue to Bless You!
