its that time of year. warm spirits. families come closer together, people become greatfultfor the things they have. BUt are you ready for the holidays?
with thanksgiving being next week and christmas being a month away i really dont like it. things are crazy. just had a baby and not working because of that and with 3 kids...christmas wont be what i wanted it to be this year. But with only 1 person working and we still gotta pay all our bills, im not complaining. the inly thing i wanted was to be able to hold my daughter and i got that. as long as we can get a little something for the kids..ill be happy this christmas. boy this has been a long hard year..so glad its almost over!
are you ready for the holidays and the new year?

I am hosting Thanksgiving again this year I have the turkey in the freezer and I think all of the grocerys bought to fix dinner. I have to work the next morning so won't be doing Black Friday shopping. My mom gave me some money to help buy Christmas presents for the kids so we will have a nice Christmas.

I don't know what you are don't for Thanksgiving. I noticed that there were a number of invitations to share Thanksgiving diner on craigslst in the Denver Metro area, no charge, no strings attached. Things age going to be tight for a lot of people this year, but see if you and your older children mibht be albe to make some gifts for familty members. This might just prove to be more fun, make everyone forget about how tight the monetary situtation is and you may just have some really nifty gifts for teachers, grandma, grandpa and mom and dad and their siblings. Also check out criagslist for free stuff. Today someone was giving away "gently used stuffed animals" you can take what you need, donate the rest to a day care or a thrift store. There are other things there like clothing, etc. It's worth looking.
Cheers.
Happy Thanksgiving.
