Christmas Program/Christmas Tree

Today was Jaden's first Christmas program at church. My mom, sisters, brother-in-law, and friend Christine from work all came to watch. It wasn't much. Just 5 songs that really didn't appear to be that well rehearsed, but it was still cute. Then, after we got home, we decorated the Christmas tree. You can tell it was decorated by a 3 & 2 yr old by the final picture bc the majority of the decorations are on the bottom...lol. FINALLY, I was able to add pictures....










and yes, if you can't tell by the last picture, I did cut my hair!

it figures!

It totally figures that right after getting brand new tires on my car, that I would get in an accident. Monday, after picking up the boys, I was driving down Nazareth which was a sheet of ice as were all the roads, and I saw it coming. There was a car coming down the road that was just FLYING, and he didn't slow down. He rear ended me and then sped off when I pulled over. The cops were worthless. They didn't even take down my name and number. I was SO frustrated. Thankfully, the boys and I are ok. I couldn't see anything other than paint off the bumper, but I decided to have my insurance company come look at it just to be safe. The guy told me to bring my title bc if it was too bad, due to the age of the car, they'd just total it out and give me the value. The guy met me at my work, and from the parking lot inspected my car and wrote me a check to get it fixed! So, I plan on having Brian look at it to see how bad it really is. If it really is an issue, I'll have to get it fixed. If it's not a problem, my choices are to sell the car and combine the money to get a new vehicle or to use the money for a downpayment and try to get out of my lease and into somewhere new. brian is supposed to look at it this wkend and let me know what he thinks. I just can't believe my luck!

tis the season

So, my anonymous poster has returned, as rude and as nasty as ever. Does it make you feel better to get all of that off your chest w/out having the guts to tell me who you are? I have you narrowed down bc only so many people know all the information you know or at least you think you know. Sometimes you're off on your info like I'm not sure how you think what few toys the boys got for Christmas last year were expensive, but you were right on me getting a new vacuum cleaner since my old one didn't work. I guess I could have not bought a new one and just never vacuumed again, but whatever.

As you've posted several times and this is the first time I'm responding, I hope you know that I really could care less what you think of me. Bc you're right, truth does hurt, but honey, you very rarely have the whole truth which doesn't make it truth at all. I just think maybe you either need to do some reflecting on your life or be upfront and actually talk to me. Bc you're either an extremely bitter person who has nothing better to do w/their time than to be nasty to me (which is pretty lame) or you need to address me so that we can work through whatever is really at the heart of your hatred for me. And, I don't mean just entitle a post w/a name so I can't prove it's you bc that name could belong to anyone. I mean, really admit to who you are so we can work on this.

Whatever, it's your choice. This will be the last time I offer for you to come clean as to who you are. From now on, I'll just continue to delete what you had to say and to move on w/my life.

JCPenny Photos

Ok, so I got the boys' pictures taken for Christmas card, not to mention their photos were a yr old. They turned out SO GOOD!! They did some specials which of course I didn't get bc my coupon didn't cover it, but here they are.















(this last photo was taken w/their dad and Anderson grandparents)

THANK YOU MISS ANONYMOUS

So last year, my tires were bad. I can't count how many 180s I did and usually I wasn't even going over 30mph. I'd be going straight down the road and next thing I knew I'd be facing on coming traffic. Once, I actually took out the driver side of my car. Thankfully, it was the side that had already been dented...lol I was NOT looking forward to this winter bc if they were bad last year, you can only imagine how they are this winter. So today, I checked my mail bc I knew I had some netflix waiting for me. Along w/my netflix, there was an anonymous letter w/$200 and a note that said "buy tires". So I am finally getting new tires!! THANK YOU GOD and THANK YOU MISS ANONYMOUS!!! (I'm pretty sure I know who you are.)
