This entry was orginally posted on my Myspace account but it will help explain a bit of why I posting erratically for the moment.  I can not go into the particulars since I am hoping this marriage can survive a "friend" that is dominating the day and seems to me to have her own agenda. 

I checked my footprints and was amazed to the trouble that someone took to come onto my site to read my entries.  I have Xanga lock so you have to sign onto your Xanga account to read my entries but I welcome readers so do not really see the need to waste so much time and effort and Xanga potential names, for that matter.  Here is a copy of some of my footprints:

Busy as a Bee but freezing my "wings" off this weekend.  At least I have my Husband with me to help keep me warm even if he is the one generating all the busy, busy activity.  Such is the life of a wife of a Trucker.....trying to cram as much chores, activities, plans and loving into such a short space of time that they are actually home.  I did not help matters by getting my van stuck in the snow bank at the top of the driveway....at least I did manage NOT to block the driveway.  Though, I did have to shovel the snowbank back a few feet so that the van could be driven around.  I even managed to do a "graceful" fall when my footing was lost on the slanted ice in the driveway.  I was lucky this time in that I was the only one to witness my "gracefulness" so I am spared the retelling of the event like my other "graceful" falls.

Saturday was the Company's Banquet for my Husband's Trucking Company.......more about that later.  The part I want to share is that they had a Karaoke Band instead of a regular band and my Husband took the mike and dedicated a song to me......then sang it to me.  "Kiss An Angel Good Morning" was the song and he has scored MAJOR brownie points with me as a result!   I have a feeling that he will be redeeming some of his brownie points tonight........and if he is as romantic as he has been this evening.....I foresee him earning even more brownie points.  Off to bed........said with a mischievious smile. 

Saturday the tree finally was defeated.  I wrestled with the treetop and finally had to call in reinforcement (My Loving Husband) to separate it from the main tree trunk and now not only is the tree been boxed but now resides upstairs in the storage room!  Hurray for Me!!!!  I still have a few scattered decorations scattered through the house but they also will all be boxed up Monday and will take up residence with the tree.  The newest development is that my grandson now has a big boy crib instead of a bassinette and sleepin in it for the first time right now.  He looked so big in the bassinette but looks so little in the crib but the way he is growing.......I know the smallness will not last long.  He has started cooing and making sounds like he is telling you baby secrets....and I just love it!  He loves to cuddle and he loves it when I sing to him ...I usually get "volunteered" to sing him to sleep since I "do it so well".  Which, by the way, is a correct statement since when I sing and hold them(them being not only my grandson but all my children before him)preparing them for sleep, I can feel myself wrapping a blanket of love and protection around them as they drift into sleep.

Now the time to begin the task of putting Christmas back into its many, many, many boxes while keeping the spirit in our hearts and souls.  Unfortunately for me, the resting place for my many boxes is in an UPSTAIRS storage room.  Today is my designated day to begin the reclaiming of my living room back to a normal living area.  I think I am going to get my exercise for the day .....plus some!

Edit:  Actually this entry was made for Wednesday but for some reason Xanga would not let me submit it.  Now I think I know why......I went shopping instead and went visiting with a friend of mine.... both events took up the majority of my day.  So Now that I am able to post the entry, I guess Thursday will be the day I reclaim my living room!  

New Years' Eve is also Our Anniversary.  We have been married for 19 years and been together for 26 years.  We met on New Year Eve and we married on New Years Eve.  Nice and convenient to keep track of the years that way and I always get to celebrate my Anniversary since it would be a little hard for him to "forget" such a celebrated date.  So far he has given me a dozen red tiger roses and a gift certificate for a pedicure.  He took me to get a manicure for a Christmas present so I now have longer nails and all my nails are long at the same time......which hasn't happened in a very long time and not for any great length of time either.  He is so sweet!   So far, he has gotten car ramps and a stepping block so he can fix his truck without having to stand on buckets.  Hey.....that is what he wanted.......but he will be getting more later.  I just love my Husband ......even when he is driving me crazy.

Christmas is over and since it was so nice this year, I am basking in the after glow.  My last remaining unmarried child was asked to be married last night in the presence of both sets of parents.  My daughter never even saw it coming.......so in front of his family's Christmas tree she cried tears of joy when he went down on one knee and declared his love for her and asked her to spend the rest of their lives together.  I cried too.....and, yes, they were tears of joy, tears of happiness for my daughter Jennifer, and tears of thankfulness since I knew how much she loved this young man.  Life is Good. 

Senoria67 had one of these on her site.......so got one for me.

When there is a baby in the house......silence can sometimes be a blessing!  He likes to sleep with Classical Christmas music playing......how does he know? 

Well, maybe this explains everything........Santa in training!!!  Maybe he will put a new camera on the list so the pictures will come out better?  Isn't he sooooo sweet!  Alex is probably wondering what the big deal is.......after all.....this will be his first Christmas!
