Sitting here tonight dealing with a gamete of emotions. Mad, sad, and irked. Nothing I can do to change the situation that caused it, but I still need to deal with the emotions that have come out of the situation. I am not an island unto myself, what I do and say, decisions I make effect my family and friends around me. It can be to the positive or the negative. So weighing the words I speak into the situation as well.

I have part of my Christmas packed up this evening. I have some more to go but this year, I am sorting and going through it all to be more organized for next year. Wrapping, sorting the decorations by color. I do garlands that I hang above the fireplace, in my sewing room. I use all kinds of blue ornaments, bulbs, in all different shades. I use blue lights as well. It turns out beautiful, that one I leave up a bit longer in January because it has a lot of snowflakes and stars in it. I will have to see if I can get a good picture at all to show you. One of the reason for sorting by colors because you never know what I will feel like next year. I do the after Christmas shopping, way after Christmas when you get even bigger deals. I found a white artificial Christmas tree for 10.00. I have wanted one for a couple of years and whooziers did I get a good deal. Can't wait for next year to get to put it up. Any color can go with white!!!! Also I am gathering up Christmas dishes that I use this time of year. Last year I just put them where ever and broke a couple of items. So this year, I am taking a different approach!!

We finally got some snow to play in on New Years Eve, the grand girls and grand nieces had a riot playing in it, I had a riot watching them. They threw snowballs at the window I was at along with grandson. He giggled like crazy at their antics. It was funny to watch. Then they came in for some warm food and hot chocolate. We headed home early so as to not be out there with all the crazies....and yes, didn't make it till midnight either. Does this mean I am getting older? Yes, and this girl needs her beauty sleep.

Nope, no New Years resolutions, just living each day one day at a time.
So off to get some of that so called beauty sleep.....grin.
