I tend to stay away from my blog in stressful periods of my life and almost have an aversion to it at times.--like it is a chore that needs to get done and is another procrastination in my life. I do enjoy it most of the time--it is dumping my problems and parts of my life into the computer and releasing my feeling and emotions onto a blank screen.
we are in financial woes--we haven't been able to make the payments on our house in central point in two months and it doesn't look much better anytime soon. I don't think we can dig ourselves out of this hole.
on another note--I am a car accident magnet--I ran into another jetta tonight after work--such a small tap on the rearend driven by a teenager who had recently just gotten three appraisals for the car accident he had been in last week. He told me he would look at the car in the morning and see if there was any damage but wouldn't file a claim if it was minor. third accident in under a year--all my fault--not paying attention and always in a hurry. must slow down my life somehow.

i'm back

My mom told me today that I needed to update my blog sooo here I am. Now that Christmas is over I can take a breath and focus on things other then christmas cards, shopping, baking, and wrapping. Sadie and Laken finally went to bed--and Dan and I have a couple minutes to unwind and eat pie--hee hee.

we didn't have any snow but everything was iced over this am when we woke up so it looked like it had snowed. dan and I took the kids to cloudy with a chance of meatballs at mcmenamins--can't beat a movie for a dollar.

we also dechristmatized today--not exactly sure if that is a word

here are a few christmas pics
