Merry Christmas to you!


pics are money and Rolex watches brought back from Iraq by friend of family who worked over there. Doll is a ceramic doll I was given years ago by an aunt who made them. All will be going on ebay shortly...well as soon as I can find a minute, I don't know how shortly that will be.
Does your list look like mine? It is Dec 19th and ...

  • Christmas Cards.... 1 done, about 20 more to go
  • Presents ....mostly bought, 1/4th still to go
  • cookies....none baked
  • bills... mostly mailed, couple left to do
  • cleaning.....1/2 done, other half- ugh do I have to?
  • packing.....very little done, much more to do
  • things to finish on house .... few done, much more to finish
  • large ambitious projects....none done, 3 or 4 to do
  • sanity...mostly gone, tiny bit left

Merry Christmas, Ho Ho Ho Ho!
Thanks for all the support and well wishes, guys and back at ya! The kids will be coming over for a long visit- few weeks probably, so I won't be on here for a few weeks starting at Christmas. My classes will be over Jan 10th and if my lic comes by end of Jan (FX) the kids will be the best Christmas present ever! I am having a hard time not thinking of them as mine already, but I am trying to hold back in case it still falls through. If I don't get my license, or they pic a diff fam for them, I will be lost. My automatic reaction is to say yes when ppl ask if they are mine, or say 2 when asked how many kids I have. I have to give weird vague answers ...like "Well I hope they will be someday, but they don't know that yet so please don't mention it in front of the kids, they think I am just their babysitter who really likes them to come over a lot and I don't want them to be jerked around if something should go wrong- so sort of." blah. IMGosh, I hope it will be less than 8 weeks and I will have some for sure news. I can't believe how long the TWW used to feel, and now I have a 12-18 week wait and it seems like a yyyyeeeaaarrrrrr. AAHHH! Thank goodness it is about half over, cuz I am going crazy and my stomach can't hold out much longer.

Have a Happy and safe Holidays everyone! (((((Holiday Hugs!))))) Tara
