homework
Last night Ryan said he needed some help with his homework so I went upstairs to his room and sat at the desk with him. The last thing was to write a sentence about his favorite holiday. And much to my amazement here is what he wrote: I love Christmas because it is the birth of Jesus. Can you believe that?! Nothing about getting presents or toys (of course he does love that part!) I was just so proud of him. It made me happy that he realized what the true meaning of Christmas is. The last 2 years we have really been trying to teach the boys that Christmas IS NOT all about getting gifts, but we are celebrating the birth of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I want them to know that from an early age, 'cause when I was growing up it was all about ME and how much stuff was I gonna get under the tree...Every Christmas we actually sing 'happy birthday to Jesus' so they understand it's kinda like a birthday party for Him. It's easy to get caught up in all the other things and if your anything like me- you get really stressed out about money and gifts and what am I gonna get for this person?! Sunday night at church someone said that they take a bunch of their kids old toys before Christmas and give them to charity, to make room for the new stuff. I think I will do that, too. Actually that sounds kinda bad? I just want to do something good- and to show my boys that Christmas is more about GIVING- not getting...After all, God gave all of us the greatest gift of all that Christmas Day.
Takin' a break from Watching my Weight!!!
Well not really...I mean I'm still gonna follow the program, but as far as the monday night meetings go, I won't be doing that for a little while. As most of you know we just sold our house and it's supposed to close on Dec. 16th. Thank you Lord!!! But until then, my pocket book ain't lettin' me do anything extra (if you know what I mean.) With Christmas coming up I feel it is the best thing for my family...we all have to sacrifice sometimes- and I will miss seeing you all on monday so don't forget about me! I will still go to Applebees and ALL the Flip Flop outings I can!
