The Very last minute

Hello (with little anime wave and lilt),
It's the Morning of Christmas, silent happy dance, I am up because

1. my 7 month old decided to eat 
2.  I cannot get back to sleep due to to much caffeine at 2am
3. To excited about getting to see the kids open their gifts.

my hubby while helping me put the gifts under the tree said "Our kids are so spoiled" I don't think so but I'm a gift giver so I tend to want to get everyone everything the might want for the holidays. And thanks to sales and finding things I forgot that I bought in the summer they boys have plenty. I do feel like the girl baby got a little jeped but she is 7 months and doesn't care, I hope.
However if you where not a kid you kinda did get hosed, which is something I plan on working on next year. You know, by actually make a list and checking it twice. To make sure everyone I care about knows that I care about them, even if all I'm able to get is a card telling them so. I would at least like to get to the card which I will not be able to do without said list.  So back to bed I go, hopeful with visions of nothing in my head and only drool on my pillow.
                                      Merry Christmas to all and to all a good morning, E

                                           

I'm Last, Last minute.

Hey there,
 Christmas is kicking my butt by

1.  Trying to get thru the everyday and not feel like I'm getting enough fun Christmas stuff in.
2.  The presents are really hard because we are so B.R.O.K.E.
3.  Which, leaves me tryin to work with the stuff I have and being reminded that I should really start these things much earlier. {I say to myself for the 2nd ,3rd,4th year in a row.}
4. Finding an idea I like and wanting to do it for one and all.

Le Sigh. I am very thankful for YouTube right now for all the great ideas and good music. Liking myfroggystuff.blogspot .com for all the cute doll ideas, especially the stocking  idea.  MissRemiAshten had some really cute ideas. And there where so many more that I was getting a little overwhelmed. Pinterest could give me seizures if I didn't take breaks.
  So far I have only bought a few gifts for the kids and a gag gift for the hubby because he said and I quote   " I don't need nothin."  Sigh ( and look of aggravation) Men make it so hard to get them something. He will probably end up getting what most of my family and friends will be getting , coupons, yes I know they are little overdone but if I have nothing else I have printer ink and the ability to type. Go me! I am also doing some arty canvas things and glass etching [ if I get the butt in gear].
  If all else fails I recommend vegging out with the family to a feel-good movie that reminds you that there is more to the holidays then stuff.  LIKE

1. Miracle on 34th ST. 
2. Wonderful Life
3. How the Grinch stole Christmas
4. Prep and Landing
5. Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (the stop motion)
6. Any other of the stop motion

to name but a few. Well I must away, because cryin babies wait for no one.

                                                                                        Merry Christmas and God Bless.
                                                                                                                               E

Hey there, Internet! That's an interjection and I know that because of schoolhouse rock. I'm back and sooner than a month, so go me. Though i don't take all the credit; those long hours of dark help. I am here to rant about the things i like do and do not like right this second. 

on the Do Not 

1. Mice.   If ya don't know why then you have never a) lived in the country b) in a old house and c) with kids that refuse to learn that food stays in the kitchen. At this point if i could get my hands on the little buggers (after screaming) i would do things that would make Peta come after me. AKA I hate them.(big, cheesy, slightly crazy grin) (to the mice not the kids)

on the Do

1. Sleep.  Why because its late and i have five four kids. (almost said five, which shows you how tired i am)       

Tips and or Advise

1. do not put a dog in a bathroom with an open trashcan and a clean basket of laundry.
2. coffee is your friend, learn to love it.
3. have a special place to put important papers, everything is not important, and don't make the place so special you cannot ever find it again.

That's all folks, I believe i should go to bed before i start getting weird.
 Night. 
God loves ya, and if he doesn't we are all in trouble. 

Blah, Blah, Blah, ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

P.S. here is a pic of the pumpkin craft i  did from myfroggystuff.blogspot.com again the lady has some amazing stuff.

SSSSssssooooooo...

Sooooo I've been forgetful of late. but I'm working on it all. 
  My mother in law has been coming over to help which has been awesome and tiring. I have actually , with the insistence of my nieces and little sisters, been getting some crafting done. Can you say 'My Froggy Stuff '..... if ya can't then you really should check out her site on YouTube and facebook the woman is awesome!!! (and yes I like that word)
   I am actually planning on DIYing Christmas gifts for my friends, mostly because I'm broke, and because I'd like to make something personal. My only prob. being whenever I find a cool idea I feel like I should make everyone one. Le Sigh. That's all for now. I will be back ASAP.
