   Got some more Christmas shopping done today and almost finished my Christmas cards, although I'm still missing some addresses.   T paid my phone bill and I'm excited to get my next check because I'll be able to get more presents. Yay!  The weekend went really fast as usual. We went to a Christmas get together and went and saw some lights then had dinner and drinks at our friends house it was fun but very cold and we had to make a pit stop at their friends house for a birthday party. We didn't know anyone but it was ok I guess.
   Today I have mostly been napping and making cards while doing laundry. The rest of my house is suffering though. I need to get it cleaned this week and make some Christmas treats with J. We didn't do any baking last year and I want to do some this year.   I have cake mixes to start with cupcakes tomorrow and then hopefully we can make sugar cookies on day this week.  Next weekend I want to make more varieties but she won't be with me so I'll be on my own.
    Christmas is two weeks away and I can't wait I get a 4 day weekend. two days paid and the other two the weekend. then I only work three and get another 3 day weekend.   Then our time off banks are refilled and we get to pick more time off. Yay!  I want to take a week off in March I think. Just to spring clean and relax. Then another week In the Summer.  July sometime I'm thinking. We are supposed to be able to pick days off tomorrow so I'm hoping I can do that while Im hanging out by myself from 6 to 7. We normally don't get many calls and so I'm hoping it all goes good and I can get some in before everyone else. Like the day after Thanksgiving and perhaps the day after Christmas depending on when it is and if I decide I need an extra day off for it. Plus my birthday and I like taking presidents day off with J. This is her last year that I'll be taking days off with her. She starts Jr high next year and will be more on her own.   K leaves next week to go and see his Dad and family in Oregon. I'll send T's Christmas present with him.
    Love that they get to travel and see different states with their dad. Love that they get to go and have an enjoyable Christmas and not have to be here all the time where I never have money to make it nice. Atleast they have that.
