Merry Christmas to all my friends and family.


This is the first season since 1994 that we have not spent together as a family. I know things are supposed to change, but sometimes I just want the past and the comforts of home.
So, We did our normal Christmas Eve at John's mom's, where we as usual sit back out of the way and Observe...however...I push my way into conversations and make it all work. I have some real issues with one of the people there as they go out of there way to not be friendly....it just pisses me off. I am like seriously??? you think you are that much better?? Get a freaking grip...BUT.....oh well.
Went to visit mom at the nursing home to find out she had fallen in the bathroom ....
leg just gave out on her and she went down on her bad knee and her bad arm...her hands are all bruised up and she is sore, but otherwise is ok.
I hope this makes people understand it is not safe for her to be going home...she needs help even if they don't think she does.
I like having mom there because I don't have to worry about her as much and I know I won't get the call that she has been laying in her apartment all night because she fell. It is just peace of mind.


Well, today I wake up, spend time with my daughter Rebecca sharing gifts, and fixed breakfast(well John fixed it) as I was able to relax with the boys watching Benny torment the cat. Too cute.
Bradee and Benny have had their shares of thrills and escapes this year, and I am so thankful they are both back. I love Bradee so much..it is something that I cannot explain. We have a bond and I always am happy and relaxed when he is by my side.


We are all going to Evansville to share Christmas again with my mom and than are going to my oldest daughter Megans to have Christmas together with the kids.
We are breaking the tradition this year and are having steaks, chicken, mac and cheese, Gbeans, and rolls. NO HAM....

Monday begins a new day for me as I get back to my training and my goals for 2012.


Merry Christmas.
