Christmas Joy!
After all the gifts were opened and the candy found, Christian got right into playing with his new toys. Daddy had some fun with them too.
I cleaned out Kiddo's room to make room for all his new toys, the old toys are going to charity.
We spent the day cleaning, playing and playing. Cleaning came again but the next day.
We went to see my Grandma in the hospital also. She broke her arm, and badly, a few days earlier. So we went and took her Christmas gift up to her to open. She loved seeing Christian. It was a good visit, and I'm happy to say she's getting out tomorrow. (Saturday)
Now I can't wait for next year's Christmas to see what Kiddo will be like then.

Winter Blues
As I was headed home from work on a dreary Wednesday, I called my husband to see if he needed anything from the store. The first thing he said was "What do you want to hear first? The bad news or the good news?" I opted for the bad (it's best to ripe off the Band-aid in one quick motion, I've learned) I was told that he got laid off of work....one of the few set of words no one wants to hear, especially in this economical crisis. I can't even tell you what the good news was, it was that insignificant.So, I became the "bread winner", not a good thing. We'll make due, I'm sure. The silver lining in the picture is that he's on his way back to college. I encouraged him to go and to use the No-Worker-Left Behind Program offered by Mich. gov. In fact I encourage all who can to use that program, it's a good one and it's free. Go to your local Mich. Works! center and they'll point you in the right direction.
I know a lot of people/ families are dealing with this same situation. The sudden loss of income and stability that comes along with a steady job/paycheck. I feel for all the families, I'm going through the same thing you are. And let me tell you, it sucks!
I'm very happy that my hubby's going to school. He needed something to focus on. A steady beacon of light, if you will. A goal to work towards. A degree.
I'm seriously thinking of going to school too. I need the outlet of education. The challenge it presents is tempting.
I'll be happy when the snow stops falling and the sun stays away from the clouds. When the rain heals the scars of winter's wrath. To see the flowers push away the hard earth, to brighten our souls and free our eyes of the blinding white winter brings.

My Weekend
Well so far the weekend was great. Friday was a busy work day but at least I got to work with my favorite crew. Saturday was busy. First was my cousin's daughter's 6th birthday party. My boy wasn't very social until all the kids started to run around the basement. He loves to run, good thing. We left earlier than we normally do. We usually stay to help clean up or stick around until we are one of the last there. An old friend of my hubby's invited us to her annual "apple dumpling day". She holds it before Thanksgiving and always makes everything homemade. Then we play cards late into the night....this time was no different. We stayed until midnight. I actually won a game. Very suprised by that one...I was half asleep and getting grumpy. James as always won 2 of the games. He's great at it.
Now, onto Sunday. Hubby stayed up playing his internet games until 7:30 in the morning, idiot. Then didn't get up until noon this afternoon.
Kiddo and I got up at a too early 8:30 and have been happily lazy and playing with my boy sense.
How was your weekend?

So Far...
Well I think I might be getting the hang of this blogging thing, I think.
So far in my life Halloween passed bringing along the snow and cold in it's wake.
My boy, Christian was a lion for Halloween and was cute as ever. We went around our lovely Lapeer, along with my cousin Sarah and her family. It was a hoot.
Next little event was scrapbooking for a day and then on to Turkey Bingo! It's a yearly thing that's put on and only 20 turkeys are given away...luckily I won the last turkey!! It's odd how you can get excited over winning a frozen bird, but I did.
Other than those few events not much is going on...my husband's planned trip to Mexico and China got pushed back a few weeks but he's still going there for work and probably a little play time for him to.
Well that's all for now....

New MoonChylde's Mirror!
Due to my lack of remembering e-mails and passwords, I've had to create a new blog site. So here it is, third times, a charm right?!
Here's what's going on with me.
I'm the mother of the most handsome boy in the world and happily married to a wonderful man for 8 years now.
I'm currently a Pharmacy Technician at a popular pharmacy chain.
I really need to enroll into college to start my schooling for my future career as a history professor.
I come from a family with 5 kids and a lot of teasing.
My life revolves around my son and family.
My hobbies are...
1. reading
2. scrapbooking
3. writing
4. drawing/painting
5. collecting stones/crystals
6. certain tv shows
7. movies
If you have any questions or comments, by all means, post them. I'm a chatter box at times too!
