Summer's End
Where did it go? Seems like the kids just got out of school for summer vacation. I so hate to see it go. Back to School sales are here; lazy days, sleeping late, pool time..soon will be over. Taking its place; alarm clock, busy mornings...making breakfast and lunches, rushing out the door, homework, dinner and football. Ahhh football...we loooove football. For everything there is a season. I, for one, am looking forward to what's next.
I love the Holidays. I especially love trying to decorate for Christmas and have lots of ideas but very low funds to get them accomplished. So I manage with what I have and I think it looks really pretty and it makes us feel all cozy and warm inside. I wish the decorations could stay up all year but its not the same feeling, is it? After Christmas it seems its time to get back to the old grind but I wish the feelings of the Holiday could last all throughout the year. This year we are in a new house and so I've had a challenge because this house is smaller and I don't want it to feel cluttered with just too many things. I'm posting some pictures of the den where we spend all our time together. Hope you find it as cozy as we do.
I haven't blogged in several months but a friend sent this to me by email and I liked it so much I wanted to blog about it and share it with anyone that is interested. This has been a peeve of mine for several years now and I refuse to allow the media and all the influences out there to take Christ out Christmas for me. I just thought this was a cool video and it makes me smile when I see it. What about you?
I start back to work this week. I'll be at a new school this year. I'm excited but also anxious. I had gotten into a comfort zone and now I'm feeling some nervousness beginning a new school year. I'm not prepared at all. My summer was filled with alot of stress hense the no blogging. We moved just a week ago and my house is still in a mess. I have storage issues like...there isn't any. I'm trying to be creative on a budget. A very small one. So if anyone has any ideas, please share. I am determined to get back on track and start living again. God is Good!
