Ok so my vacation started and I am cleaning my house. ANYONE WANT TO HELP? Just kidding. I'm taking a break and thought I would post a few things that Hayden said the other day....Last week I was getting him ready for his school Christmas party on Friday..I was telling him he was going to see Santa...he stoped me and said but mommy I have already seen Santa twice...Ok were did that come from. I just laughed and said ok well you are going to see him again. He has fun and all he could talk about was how he saw Santa again. Children and Christmas.

Then last night I have an angel that I put in his room and told Hayden that he needed to be a good boy because this angel was one of Santa's helpers and that he was watching Hayden and would fly back to the North Pole and tell Santa if he had been a good boy or not. When it was time for bed Hayden turned the TV off and said good night angel tell Santa I'm a good boy. (tear) I then took the angel and moved it to the living room. This morning Hayden saw it in their and told me that it came back from the North Pole and that he was still a good boy. Thanks to my mom for this idea.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the babysitter issue. I appreciate it and now have 2 more names to add to my list. Thanks girls you all are a great help.

Need Help

Ok I'm reaching out to everyone to see if you can help me out with babysitters. I don't go out much. Scott and I do try to get out for a date night once a month at least if not more but we don't have any sitters.

I have my parents and his parents which are both great and help out as much as they can, then have Hayden's old school teacher Allison who watches him and is wonderful but that is about it.

Last night I had a sitter lined up so I could join Scott and his family for Lauren's (his sisters) birthday. Well 3 hours before I was to pick up the sitter she called and canceled on me. It would not have been a big deal if I didn't make dinner but would have been a downer on me since I was invited to a special dinner with his family. SO I got on the phone and called everyone I could think of and NO ONE called me back. (ok so that hurt) I know its the time of year that a lot is going on and I understand those who could not do it last night because of Christmas parties. I called Scott's friend Buddy and Jenny thinking she is a mom with two kids she should know someone. well Buddy and Jen came to my rescue and watched Hayden for us last night so we could go out. Thanks a bunch guys I appreciate it more then you will ever know.

Then My work party is tonight and again my sitter bailed (not ever calling her again) so here I am without a sitter and my own work Christmas party. Thank the LORD I have a wonderful boss who understands and said that Hayden could come with us. Thanks Gary. SO for tonight I am covered.

What I need is more people that you trust that love to babysit and could give me a few names and numbers. Like I said we don't go out a whole lot but when we do we don't have a sitter or they bail on us.

Thanks,

Meaning of Christmas

Bowling

I started bowling 6 years ago. I was dating a guy and he asked if I wanted to be on a bowling league. My friends and I said what the heck why not so we joined Ball and Chain at Heritage Lanes. I could not bowl for CRAP and had an average of 80 yea that was not good. By the end of the first year my average was 105 so good improvement. I bowled the following year and did a little better average about 115 then it just has gone up and up and up. I took a year off after Hayden was born and started back up last year with an AWESOME team. Gene (who is on my team) showed me where to stand and where to have my ball hit. This helped me a lot. Now most bowlers just glide the ball down the lane and it does what they want it to do... oh but not me. I stand up (no knee behind me) and CHUNK the ball down the lane... now it hits the lane after the arrows but i get strikes so I don't care. People joke with me about my bowling but don't say much because I still kick the Crap out of them. So this year my average went up from last week to this week. (i bowl every Monday night) Last week I had a 121 average and this week went up to 126 5.10 upgrade in a week. GO ME!!! After last nights games it will jump up again. My goal it to hit my average at least to make sure we have a chance of winning but I seem to always bowl about 10+ pins over my average which is shocking and great all at the same time. Last nights scores were 130,162,135 My highest game this year was the 170 I hit a few weeks ago. The night I did that I told Scott and the rest of my team (Scott bowls on my team) that if I don't hit at least a 112 (this is -10pins of my average that they use if I'm not there) then I was going home because I did not fell good at all.....well the first game that night I hit a 170 my team told me I was not going anywhere..the next two games were good ones to so I made it another night.

I love bowling and enjoy it every Monday night. IF you are interested let me know. Its the Ball and Chain league in Monday nights at Heritage Lanes from 6-9 (give or take) we bowl 33 weeks out of the year and start around Late August or early September and Finnish around end of April first of May. Its a lot of fun and time to get out and have a ball. Oh and you get money back at the end of the year too. Its $14 a week. Let me know if you or anyone you know is interested.

Time Flys when you are having fun! (getting older)

Here is my baby boy over the last three years. Time sure does fly when you are having fun or growing old.

My Child is growing like a weed and becoming a little man. He tells me he is not a baby anymore but a big boy and that he is going to take care of me. He is such a sweet boy that I could not have asked for a better child. He is just wonderful. Last Friday night Scott and I took Hayden to the ORR family farm for Scott's work Christmas party (wonderful time) but on the way down Scott says to Hayden
Scott: Hayden now listen to me when we get there I need you to ....
Hayden: (interrupts) Mommy and Daddy (that's what he calls Scott) you not cry or be mean you listen.
So my child is a little shit but we love him. He told us not to do what we were going to tell him not to do. SMART KID!!!

Blah Blah Blah....

Where has this year gone??? Here it is December 15th and Christmas a week away. WOW time fly when your having fun! I am glad that after Friday I will be off work for 2 weeks... a long awaited break from everything. But then its (as my mother always says) head down ass up working time. This next year is so busy already that I wont have time to breath until July. When does the stress stop? So my schedule for the upcoming months...(oh and birthdays are a big thing in my family)

And then all my friends birthdays as well.. I try to always send a card out or e-card for everyone that has a birthday.. keeps me busy.

SO I know that the next 4 months are going to be so hectic and hope that things all work out ok. Just wish I could have a month off to myself to do what I want to do and not have to worry about things. Anything. But oh well its life and I could not be happier.

Sorry just had to vent!!!
