Well, today is November 27th. Only 28 days until Christmas!!! YIKES!!!!!!! Less than a month. This year is just flying by. I have so much to get done before Christmas. Plus my mom's birthday is coming up in 10 days. I have really got to get busy working on her gift. I was going to work on it this past couple of weeks, but since I was visiting her, not something that I could really do.
Anyways, my kids & I just got back from a trip to visit my mom & grama. It was a nice visit. Thanksgiving was great! My uncle (more like big brother) was there too from out of state, with his new fiance & his son. It was so great to see him!!! I have only gotten to see him twice in the past 18 years since he moved across country. And those two times were only bcuz of deaths in the family. It was nice to be able to see him on a happy occasion. We have always been close. And I have missed seeing him so much. As I said, he is my uncle, my mom's baby brother. But we have always been more like brother & sister. There are only 9 1/2 years between us. There are almost 11 years between me & my baby brother. And there are 9 1/2 years between my daughter & my son. So, it's not uncommon for a gap in ages in our family. I have never called him uncle. Always just call him by his name. My kids call him uncle. And my son is named after him. The only bad part of our trip was that my husband wasn't able to come with us. He couldn't get off of work. And then at the end of our trip everyone got some sort of stomach bug. We're not sure if it was the flu or food poisoning from something that we all ate. But it sure messed everyone up. Thankfully now, everyone is starting to feel better. And now, the kids & I are home again. It was a great trip.
Anyways, well I suppose that is enough for now.
Until Next Time,

Well here I am posting my first entry. It's 2:20 am. The kids are sound asleep. My husband is working graveyard shift this week. I always seem to stay up late each nite when he is working graves. It's not that I am afraid or anything. I know the kids & I are safe. It's just that I don't like to sleep when he's not here. I miss him. Even when I do sleep, I sleep on the couch. I just can't bring myself to sleep in our bed without him. For some that may sound stupid. But that's just how it is. On the nites when I don't sleep, I either sit here at the computer, or I stitch. As you can see, tonite is a computer nite. I'm happy that he likes his job so much. He's not miserable behind some desk at some job where they don't appreciate all of his hard work. At the end of his shift, he can see all results of what he has done. And that makes him happy. And I'm glad for that. It's just hard getting used to the graveyard shifts every other week. And I'm thankful it's only every other week. I wish I was as happy at my job as he is at his. Truth be known, I wish I didn't have to work and that I could be home for my kids everyday. And also get my business going faster so that I can do that. But I think it will be a while before that happens. I'm ok with that. Everything happens for a reason. And if it was the right time for me to not have to work, then I wouldn't be. Well, as I put in the subject line ... just rambling.
Anyway, tonite is the full moon. I will be planting some herbs & flowers. They always grow best when planted on the nite of the full moon. And depending on how long it takes, I actually won't be spending my nite in front of the computer. :-) That will be a switch. LOL.
Well, I think I am going to actually get a lil bit of sleep tonite.
