The True Meaning of Christmas

This weekend Boo boo had to write a paper about what Christmas means to him. He must be growing up. This year it seems that he is starting to understand the true meaning of Christmas. When did Christmas get so out of control? When did people stop celebrating the true meaning of Christmas? This has been a stressful rough year for me. In this year there has been two things that have given me some sanity, exercise and GOD. I don't want to sound like a holy roller, but Jesus is the reason for the season. When and how did Christmas turn into a hustle and bustle gift giving frenzy? Our kids already feel entitled to everything anyway ( I am guilty of letting this happen) But how does going into debt to shower your friends and family with gifts celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ? I believe a lot of the worlds problems have to do with the lack of faith we have. In a weird way, maybe the poor economy will lead to less gifts, which will maybe humble people and make them think about what Christmas is about. I was chatting with two young girls 9 and 11. When discussing things they told me they deserve Ipod Nano's. Do we really deserve anything other than love? What have we taught our children? I am embarrassed and ashamed that I have passed this on. So, Boo boo wrote that Christmas is about Family and Jesus' birthday. I won't say he is wrong. I just want to add love to that list. "for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, so that who ever shall believe in him shall have everlasting life" If we have love in our hearts what in our lives could be terrible. Happy Birthday Jesus!

What Women Really Want

Ok, here is the secret to keeping a woman happy....appreciation. That is all we really want. The key to keeping us happy is to show and tell us that we are appreciated. I am not talking about gifts or after we bitch at you because we don't feel appreciated telling us so. I am talking about little everyday things. Thinking about what would help us out or make our day or life in general easier. Taking ten minutes out of the day to not be so damn selfish. Show us we appreciated by doing things you know need to be done without us asking. We know that you know when the garbage can is overflowing it should have aready gone out. Or hey, when the laundry basket is full, why not start a load. Or a crazy idea, surprise us with a home cooked meal every once in a while that we don't have to cook. It is the small things that add up.

I don't know where to start

I don't really now where to start which is funny because I really never have a lack of words. So, I will start with a brief introduction of myself and family. I have no real intention of anybody reading this. I really plan on just venting about things that bother me, in hopes that if I get it off my chest, I will feel better. I have a ten year old son -I will call him Boo boo. I really couldn't ask for a better kid. He is smart, funny, kind, compasionate, fun and good looking. It must have something to do with the great job I have done. I got married this past February to a wonderful man. He named me Metry Mama in his blog so I need to come up with a name for him in my blog. I am aggrevated with him right now, so I will wait on giving him a name. I would hate for him to be stuck with a name like A Hole, or Jack Ass, or even Pig Headed Bastard. So, I will wait until I can be nice. Which according to my husband is hard for me to do. Truth be told, I love him more than I could have ever imagined I could love someone. He is my best friend and I don't ever want to be without him. So there you have it, I love my two boys.
