J's Calendar
IF YOU SEE ME LOST….POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION !
These are the things I have to do in the next week.
Today I am working in D’s class. It will be wild because we started school late due to the snow!
Friday night is David’s office party. I took some Ralph Lauren Towels and a monogrammed Bath mat last year – wrapped them up really cute and it was the prize no one wanted. I hope this year I will have appealed to the younger crowd with my choices – a $20 Hooters Card complete with a shirt that the waitress would wear and a really cool bottle of Vodka.
Saturday am – Rockettes with Aunt Pat – I am super excited. We are going to go to brunch at Ross Bridge first.
Saturday pm – Neighborhood Christmas Party.
Sunday – Little Elves workshop at church – The kids make 8 crafts – I am in charge of one in which I have painted 120 pieces of wood then drilled 5 pilot holes in each one.
Monday – McWane Field Trip with D’s Class and Bunco that night.
Tuesday – Work in D’s class to finish up Christmas Crafts. I have already done five – and there are 22 kids in his class.
Wednesday – Help Tanya with little C’s class party – we are going to let them paint windows. When painting more than 15 windows late at night we came up with this bright idea – maybe the paint fumes were too much.
D’ has a recheck on his ears at 1:30.
Thursday – D’s First Grade Class Party - Of course I am in charge. I still have to get his book for the book swap, wrap it, get the goodie bags ready and all of the food.
Friday – Last Day of School – OH NO!
Please don’t forget to throw in the mix my college son will be home and he will be BORED and want to cook something everyday. He cooks well but he does not clean up his mess. You better hope that I have bought your Christmas present already – I do not have any shopping time left.

Reason for the Season
This past weekend we went to Nashville for a family Christmas get together. All day Friday I worked getting ready. I cooked several different things to take, J had made chex mix for me to take, I packed us and thank goodness J offered to wrap my presents. You see I am a terrible present wrapper. My theory is that if you are going to just rip it open then don't put a lot of time into wrapping it. Well J has a different theory...Her theory is wrap it like it could go to a cute art show. She is always appalled at my attitude at wrapping so she just "takes over" and wraps my presents. You might think that year after year I would get my feelings hurt but I really love it because she truly has a gift! If things were not busy enough trying to get things ready to go, big C had a basketball game and we were invited to 2 surprise birthday parties. During the basketball game I was beginning to get stressed because I didn't know if we could get everywhere we were supposed to get on time, also I left middle C at one of the parties and lots of beverages were being consumed so I knew I needed to get there as soon as possible. All of these things were going through my mind as I watched the game, there was about one minute left in the game and then I saw something...big C run to the sidelines because he was bleeding. I thought maybe it is a nosebleed (even though big C has never had a nose bleed before) I was hoping for that. Then the trainer came over and I then knew that it was not a nosebleed but he had cut his head open when he collided with another player. At this moment all plans for the night were on halt until we got his head stitched. As we rode to the doctor I had some time to think. It seems like every time that I get too busy or stressed out that God can put me in my place so quickly and let me know that I am ultimately not in control...He is. That is the reason for the whole Christmas season isn't it...it is just sad that we or someone we love has to get knocked in the head to realize that everything will be OK and we need to slow down and enjoy life everyday to the fullest. Merry Christmas!!! T

Mailboxes
I hope that it is beginning to look at lot like Christmas around your house. I went out today and decorated some random mailboxes. Some of them were friends and some family. It was great fun. Everybody’s turned out a little different. Some of you already had your mailbox decked out – you are fast. It really put me in the Christmas mood and I was determined to finish the rest of my decorating by tonight, well it is now 2:20 a.m. and I am not finished. I think I will hold off on the rest until tomorrow, I can’t wait to sit back and enjoy the rest of the season.
Merry Christmas - J
