THAT'S MESSED UP

I'll admit it, I was wrong today. Here's what happened. I caught myself saying, "Think I'll skip Mass tonight and work on putting up some Christmas decorations." Really, self, I mean really? How freakin' stupid can you be?! See, this is what all the bullshit commercialism does to the Christmas season, takes Christ out of it. People lose focus. If I'm not mistaken, this whole Christmas deal isn't about running yourself ragged, decorating even more than last year or shopping for deals. It's about the BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST. Hence the name, CHRISTmas. Luckily I snapped out of it after a minute or 2. My utmost apologies, JC, for losing focus that you are indeed the reason for the season. I'm very thankful that I went to Mass and got to see one of my bestest girlie friends. I'm not trying to get all preachy here, but don't lose focus this Christmas season. Remember what is truly important and celebrate Jesus' birth in a simple, humble way. But for you, if that involves putting 57 strands of lights around your porch, deck, roof, mailbox, doghouse, tree and mantle, go ahead and celebrate that way, too. Just stay focused peeps.

I'm usually not one to be bothered by the weather. I figure you can't change it, so why get in a tizzy about it. But I swear if it's raining when Colby gets on the school bus in the morning, I'll scream. Honestly can't remember the last time we took him out to the bus without his rain poncho on. Such a pain in the keester.

Guess that's about it for now. Colby got to see his daddy and his grandpa today, so he wasn't hurting for attention that's for sure. But seriously, is he ever? Going to get up in the morning and start a weekly "to do" list. Lots of phone calls and errands to run in the next couple of days (frowny face) but it has to be done. Not to alarm you or anything, but only 3 weeks from today until Christmas. Great googley-moogley!
