Where did this Year go?!?!

Where did this year go?!?! It seems like in the beginning of the year we had so many things we said we were going to do and looking back just never had the time to do. Jim's job is so time consuming and stressful that when he has a little free time we just try to relax. When you work 6 days out of the week and at times 6 1/2 days there's not much time left. Of course with the Holidays approaching his schedule will be even busier. Not really looking forward to that. The Holidays are stressful as it is and when he is so busy with work it just makes it worse. I'm not complaining believe me...I'm so grateful that we are both employed especially with the all of the Americans that are unemployed right now and having a hard time.

Christmas is right around the corner...I can't wait to decorate...and shop for all the little ones. We now have a total of 8 grandkids so shopping should be fun trying to figure out what to get each of them.

All of my family is going to my brother, Freddy's house in St Louis to celebrate Christmas. A total of 7 families will be there. Jim & I won't be going...I can't imagine being away from our kids and grandkids for Christmas Eve. One thing I'm looking forward to is spending New Years Eve with Freddy & Leni. I can't wait for them to be here.

I guess I better stop thinking about Christmas and go get all my fall decorations out. =)
