You know I feel so much better now. I think sometimes you have these really really bad days and you almost just have to wade through the crap to see the light on at the other side of the tunnel. We took another lovely trip up to the library for some "free fun" and the kids ran straight to the computer games. I took my book I've been working on now for almost a month and sat down and read a HUGE chunk of it. I can't remember if I've said this before so at the risk of repeating myself I highly recommend the sword of truth series. I'm on book 2 now and it is AMAZING AWESOMENESS!! *echo..echo......echo* I'm completely entranced by it.
My family every year due to a HUGE family now draws names so we only buy a Christmas gift for one person each. Well this year my Mom did something quite fun that I'm really excited for. She wants to switch up the rules a bit. This year our gift must be home-made and supplies costing less than $15. I drew my sister Charice's name and I've thought up some pretty fun idea's that I've started working out the kinks on as of late. I don't want Christmas to come and me not be prepared. I mean I'm a procrastinator by nature but last minute Christmas shopping isnt a issue but last minute Christmas MAKING is. KC already has some fun idea's for Levi too. I have NO CLUE about what Cort and Tatumn would be interested in making though...
Well I've run out of things to talk about...I guess that means I'm done. lol

My family has drawn names since we were little. Also being a HUGE family. I talked Matt's family into it a few years after we got married. BEST idea ever. Its fun to shake things up a little bit and have to be creative. I think a present means more if its obvious that thought has been put into it. This definitely holds true for home made gifts. Best of luck to you.
