Christmas is this Thursday!
I can't believe it.
I am FAR from ready. The Christmas cards need to be finished....and my shopping has not even started! I've just not had the time or energy to do all that. I've been putting in 12-14 hours per day at my office trying to get all the year end stuff done. On top of that, I've been working to get the house all in order for the arrival of the kids.
My son arrived on Wednesday. We have had such a wonderful time together so far. I marvel at the changes and level of maturity I see. He is quite a young man with so much potential. I am sure that he will go very far in life.
His sister arrives from Nashville on Tuesday night. So, we're all going to be having a relatively quiet Christmas here at home. My daughter in El Salvador won't be here....but we'll have her in our thoughts.
The wind is howling outside...it is very late.....and I'm writing this in the glow of my Christmas Tree. I have my house....my health, the love of my children, and my parents are doing well at the moment. Mom is going through yet another round of chemo treatments...her spot on her lung has reduced from 4 centimeters to 1.5 centemeters. The doctors see no other evidence of cancer in any other spot of her body.
Due to the schedule that my children are on....I can't break away to be with my parents. But I do plan to go be with them during the Innauguration weekend when the extra 4 million or so visitors all descend on Washington. YIKES. I don't want to be here for all that. It's gonna be a madhouse.
Yeah....my life is not perfect...but whose is?
The only thing that would make my life better would be if Mr. Wonderful appeared....and he and I both knew that we were the ones for each other.
But for the moment, he is not here. However, my parents are both living. My children are here.
And I sit here typing this message to all of my dear friends in blogdom.
Counting my many blessings...
I've included a picture of my tree for you to see my decorating job. Your comments are always welcome!

I like your tree!! It's quite pretty. Much better than mine will be when we finish getting it all put together.
Have a wonderful Christmas with your children! I wish you much happiness and good health for the new year!
I almost forgot--your tree is beautiful!
