Revelations..and more. :)

It has been awhile since I have posted. Not for lack of want for certain. I started doing a daily paper route on top of the other 2 day route. Needless to say it leaves me tired, cranky, sore and a few other choice words... I didn't mind it too much at first. I kind of liked it, but this week has taken a toll on me - my hand keeps going numb, I have knots on my knots on my back and the list goes on - everything points to me finding a real day job and stop hiding in the wee hours in my car, driving and delivering the daily news (aka commie rag as one of my co-workers has coined it - he is a little nuts). I will probably wait until after the holidays to start looking hard core. I have learned a lot this year about myself - not all of it great but I am working on everything and hopefully that is all that matters.


On a lighter note, I think my daughter really does want to be a doctor. I found her yesterday at the landing of the stairs bandaging Bugs Bunny. Aparently he had quite a spill. :) She had taken a new package of gauze, band-aids and scissors and went to work on poor Bugs. She doesn't mind the sight of blood and isn't sqeamish when she gets hurt.. Who knows right??








Steven has been busy with his friends and playing video games. He did participate in a band concert before school let out for the Thanksgiving break. I was disappointed I couldn't attend but Kevin went and he said they did really well. If I can figure out how to tape or record him playing a song I will do that. Don't hold your breath though. :) Here is his school picture - it came out so good! He is so handsome! I keep hearing how he looks like his uncle Brady. They certainly sound the same and have a similar sense of humor sometimes.


Kevin is really being an angel for me - I am not sure what I would do without him. Life as I know it would be difficult. He helps me so much - I am eternally grateful to him for everything he does and all the help he gives me. Today he started laundry and prepared dinner for us. We surprised him with putting up the Christmas tree this year - he usually has that job - it is pretty tedious. My dad helped bring it up from the basement and put it together. Then my wonderful children surprised us both by decorating it while I took a nap. They did a phenomenal job! Just like I would do but better because they saved me the time and trouble. It only lacks bows and that is my job and filling of the bare spots. No big deal - I love my family!!!


My dad came for a visit for Thanksgiving - it has been quite a while since we had seen him. We had a great visit albeit short but we enjoyed his company and I think he really enjoyed seeing the grandkids. We need to visit each other more often. I am such a slacker - I didn't get a picture of him while he was here! Ugh! Next time I will do better. He did come to church with us on Sunday and that was pretty special for me. I don't remember the last time dad came to church with me. Too many years I am sure.
