I haven't been on the computer for awhile but I at least ought to get up here once a month. Christmas is gonna be great at our house, we're all set. I used to love CHristmas but with my constant companion of anxiety it kind of takes the thrill out of it. I just hope I am being cheerful enough for my kids.
We went to see the Christmas lights at Temple Square which was fun, cold, but fun. I love standing outside on a December night after it snows and just be. It feels so peaceful and quiet. I wish I could bottle that feeling and give it to my children for Christmas.
A women at work taught me two very helpful words which I am using frequently. They are, "Oh Well." When ever I start feeling stressed I just say these two magic words to help me remember that I cannot and should not feel responsible for the safety, happiness, etc. of everyone! I have to give it to God and move on in my season of life which is to raise my children. I have beeing trying to play more with them and that is fun. I cannot believe how hard it is to sit down and play. My kids love it when I can manage it.
Anyway, that's all that's going on. See why I don't post more often? LOL Love you all.

I agree, with God all things are possible.. the older my children get, I look at all the mistakes I have made, and I know they should not be turning out as well as they are. It is because, when you are doing what you ought to (or in my case close to what you ought to), and letting him direct your life( in my case half the time), he really does make up the difference.
Thank you for your blog. I think it helps all of us see that we are all human. Besides, it makes us stop for a minute and count our blessings. You will never regret the moments playing with your children. I don't think there has ever been a mother that said as her children grew..."Boy, I should have played with my children less often." GOod job Tina!
