Monday December 23, 2013....

    The eve of the big Eve.   Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I am having to trudge off to work.  Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to take Jazmin to my moms but yes I have to do that so we have to go early.  I'll need to get to bed soon.
     I am thankful to have a job though so hopefully the day won't be a complete joke.  Today wasn't too bad but the morning seemed to trudge on forever. I hope it's slow so I can read between calls now and then, it helps to make the time go faster.
      My daughter is so excited for Santa to visit.  I have told her not to get her hopes up to high because I am broke but it's so sweet that she still believes.  I hope she believes for awhile.
      I am excited to have the day off paid and right in the middle of the week too. Grateful to be able to provide even a small Christmas for my kids because after all something is better than nothing and I have something for all of them.  Grateful to have the day off to spend with them.  One of them is with his Dad in Oregon and the other will still be home with me when my daughter goes with her Dad.
      I am grateful to have some time to reflect on the year and all the things I can be thankful for including that my car is still running and hasn't yet broken down on me. 
       I am planning to relax and enjoy Christmas Eve and Christmas day with as little stress as possible.  It will make me very happy to have more relaxing going on.  Hope everyone else has a Happy Holiday no matter what you celebrate.
