It wasn't a very good home, it was just a house full of mess, and mostly not nasty but it became nasty because I couldn't get things finished. I was becoming a worse and worse mom because my kids and I were <span style="font-family: inherit;">all frustrated with how bad the house got. Here's a tip, part of good parenting is being able to keep your house nice enough that the children aren't frustrated. I know. Crazy right? I mean, I'm not a stay-at-home mom, so I can clean my house all the time. If I wanted to spend all day cleaning, I would pay someone else to watch my children all the time and clean other people's homes. But, and (I very rarely start a sentence with but, but it's a big but!) But, my children deserve a home where they feel like they can be and have a place to pull out all of the train tracks or spread out the legos. They need a place to run and slide on the floor. So, I did Flylady for a long time, and she worked really well before we moved here, but I could not for the life of me get it together here. I still use some of her ideas, but I have noticed that for me, instead of shining my sink, I would rather have a couple dirty dishes in my sink, have my counters cleared off and wiped off, and have my dishwasher running. When I am too worried about shining my sink, I stack up the dirty dishes on the counter and I don't necessarily get anything done. My sink looks shiny but that's about it. I have taken her principles to heart while deciding to tweak them for me. Norwex<strong>® </strong>has really helped me to become better. It makes things so much faster, easier, and more fun, so I clean more than I did. Also, many of the products are safe for my children to use, so I don't feel bad about asking them to help me. Jackie can go into the bathroom and clean the mirror in less than five minutes, and it's done! It's so happy. My Daniel spills his milk and immediately asks me to get down a cloth so he can wipe it up. He does it. All by himself. He's so proud. I love it! I sweep my floors and I mop them more than I used to. The broom and mop work so well. I am ecstatic! I had not cleaned my windows since I moved into my house. My friends might have when they came to help me while I was gone, but still that left a good year and a half of window gunk. My windows (including my storm door) look beautiful. My children are happier and more content, and they complain less about doing their chores. I am so grateful for Norwex<span style="font-size: medium;">®, Flylady, and my children. Not necessarily in that order.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Now, I do have to put in a plug for Norwex<span style="font-size: medium;">® while I am at this because this week, I am trying out a virtual party.

Fair warning. If you don't want to read it knowing that, then please don't.<br />
<br />
So, after living in Georgia around my Dad-in-law, I can't help but be interested in politics. If you have met my Dad-in-law, you understand. So I watch the presidential debates and eat popcorn in large quantities (not much new there, but really). On the February 22nd debate, birth control came up as an issue. See <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoFfUg8YtC0">Here</a> to view the debate. If you want to hear the part about birth control go to somewhere around the 42 minute mark. <br />
<br />
There is a question put up on the TV that essentially asks what the candidates' stances are on birth control. (This is not a post campaigning for one opponent over another.) Newt Gingrich's response is powerful. He says, "I just want to make two quick points, John. The first is there is a legitimate question about the power of the government to impose on religion activities on which any religion opposes. That's legitimate. But I just want to point out, you did not once in the 2008 campaign, not once did anybody in the elite media ask why Barak Obama voted in favor of legalizing infanticide."<br />
<br />
OK, so the big question is should the government be able to legislate to religions that they have to pay for birth control or the morning after pill? Should it be able to legislate to doctors that they have to perform abortions, or heaven forbid, to have to actually kill the babies who don't die during a partial birth abortion? And really, coming from a criminal justice stand point, what is the difference between killing a baby actually born at 36 weeks and any time before that? One who is actually living on its own??? So, the question on the table really is not, birth control.<br />
<br />
This post isn't even about whether or not women should be able to use birth control. If a woman wants to use birth control or not, that is her business. This post is coming from a mother of four. I have had two natural miscarriages and a D&C because I was bleeding to death. Whether or not birth control is acceptable or not is not the issue. The real issue is whether or not the Catholic church should have to pay for birth control when THEY think it's wrong. The issue is whether or not I should have to pay for abortions when I think they're wrong. <br />
<br />
A hypothetical: If Bob wants to kill Fred, Bob can do it. However, it's against the law. If Bob plans ahead to kill Fred and carries out his actions, that is first degree murder. If Bob wants Fred dead, but he doesn't actually want to kill Fred, he pays George to kill Fred. George kills Fred. According to the law, Bob is still legally guilty of first degree murder along with George. In some states, if George's girlfriend just drives the car to take George there and back and has any knowlege that Fred is going to die, she is also guilty of first degree murder. <br />
<br />
OK, you are maybe wondering by now why I talked about Bob killing Fred. Well, if I truly religiously believe that killing someone puts my immortal soul in danger, then, I pay to have someone else kill someone, am I responsible for that. Right now, in that case, our legal system upholds that issue. <br />
<br />
In the case of the Catholic church and having to pay for the morning after pill for people or birth control, that's where they stand. They feel that they are paying to help someone kill someone else. Does the government have a right to legislate that? If so, where do we draw the line? <br />
<br />
In the end, on birth control, if a woman wants birth control, pay for it. The country doesn't need to make birth control pills illegal or legislate that people can't use a diaphram or anything other form you want to come up with, just don't make someone else pay for it. Millions do. If we want equal rights, great. Men pay for their own condoms all the time. We can pay for our own forms of birth control.<br />
<br />
My big number one problem is with abortions. Where is the line between having an abortion and having a live baby. Babies are living at younger and younger ages every day, and the laws are letting people abort at later and later dates. <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9113394/Killing-babies-no-different-from-abortion-experts-say.html">Here</a> is an article about an oxford study about "after birth abortions." Otherwise known as infanticide. The logical, scientific arguements for it are just outright scary. This article has nothing to do with my moral or their moral ideas on what is actually right. They simply have taken society's generally accepted views on what is right and wrong and applied it to this issue and come up with a logical argument for killing babies after they are born.<br />
<br />
If I pay for that, am I not morally responsible for some of the deaths? Now, we see why the government needs to stay out of the morality business. We need a government to make laws to protect our freedoms. Basically we have the right to choose to do whatever we want until it infringes on someone else's right to choose to do whatever they want. Our problem is that we can't define what a "someone" is anymore.le35http://www.blogger.com/profile/03897932629532339487noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135188917425528500.post-56555878952912698382012-02-05T21:41:00.000-05:002012-02-05T21:41:41.174-05:00Dating through the AlphabetMy <a href="http://datingthroughthealphabet.blogspot.com/">sister-in-law</a> is doing a blog about dating through the alphabet. Every two weeks she does a date about one of the letters of the alphabet. Rob and I have done it just to make sure we still like each other. It should take about a year if a couple goes on a date every other week. I am thinking it's a great idea. We're on C now. We started with Applebees, and we went bowling for Daniel's birthday. It wasn't really a date date, but it was still fun. I will start taking pictures if I can figure out how to download them to this new laptop and put them on. My Mom-in-law will appreciate if I can make it happen, too. :) le35http://www.blogger.com/profile/03897932629532339487noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135188917425528500.post-244828696548869492011-07-05T19:38:00.000-04:002011-07-05T19:38:33.353-04:00Welcome Baby RachelWe would like to welcome Rachel to our family.

<br />
<a href="https://www.uddercovers.com/">Udder Covers</a> is having a deal. If you want just a Nursing cover up, it is only the $9.95 cost of shipping. If you want to buy a gift set, (usually in the $40 range) it is $5.00 plus the $9.95 cost of shipping. Use the Promo code Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
If you want to do this for a couple new moms you know, you may use it multiple times, but you need to place seperate orders.<br />
<br />
Awesome deal, eh?<br />
<br />
Even better: After I ordered a gift set, I got a promo code for 100% off slings at <a href="http://sevenslings.com/">sevenslings.com</a>. Therefore, if you are in the market for a nursing cover up and a Tube sling, or you have someone's name for Christmas who could really use either of these products, here is the place to go! le35http://www.blogger.com/profile/03897932629532339487noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135188917425528500.post-37976710006276322772010-11-13T11:48:00.000-05:002010-11-13T11:48:43.948-05:00A LONG time between posts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLKaNHbgPCqEOQuGDXC-YSBqbbFq1awCMDe1xXYQ94Qks_iyqBfT_CvobLFIwdC_0QRkVebXJPCvfBGXpVBOzdIslOOiF8JmCY60Ic8zfeLlwwlDWVo5-xU1qTpHLhwj56QFzBoY8Hyps/s1600/Jackie+hair+rag+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLKaNHbgPCqEOQuGDXC-YSBqbbFq1awCMDe1xXYQ94Qks_iyqBfT_CvobLFIwdC_0QRkVebXJPCvfBGXpVBOzdIslOOiF8JmCY60Ic8zfeLlwwlDWVo5-xU1qTpHLhwj56QFzBoY8Hyps/s320/Jackie+hair+rag+1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Although it has been a long time between posts, I finally downloaded pictures from my camera today.

She loved her hair. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We rolled her hair in rags the Saturday night. She slept in them that night and got to wear curls for church on Sunday. She loved it. Her hair was still extra curly on Monday, the first day of school. She asked me to pull her hair up into pigtails, so she has two cute little curled up pigtails. She is very proud. </div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Since I am including pictures of Jackie's hair tied up in rags in this post, I will also include instruction on how to tie hair up into rags.</div><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">When cutting rags, it is best to use a wicking fabric. (Wicking is a way to say soaks up water.) I used flannel.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Cut the strips about an inch and a half wide and about 8-9 inches long. If you have longer hair, you might want to cut a little longer. IF there is too much hair, it is harder to tie, but also, if you have too long on your tails, then it is harder to sleep with. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Then, use a fine tooth comb, and seperate hair into sections. It is easier to move the top hair out of the way and sort of go from bottom up. You can also notice, that I could have done jackie's very bottom hair, but it was a little too short. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Make sure when rolling the hair to fold the very bottom edges into the fabric, so it catches it and rolls a little more easily.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The rags are softer to sleep in than sponge curlers, so we use them instead. If you decide to try it, good luck.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Suffice it to say that there are some large things going on in our lives, but I can't blog about them. Some things just do not belong on a blog for the entire known world to read about. I could switch my blog to private and put more personal stuff on it, but at the end of the day, my blog is a social networking tool, and I like to find other people who like ECing and attachment parenting, and I have made some really cool friends and met some pretty spiffly people through this blog. Therefore, for the known future, I will keep it public, but I will also not put on the really big nasty stuff that happens in life.<br />
<br />
However, that said, there has been a lot happening in our lives lately, but it's not stuff I feel that I can share. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, here is a short synopsis of the summer travels.<br />
<br />
Three days before Jackie got out of school, we had a family emergency, and we left for Monticello. Rob came back almost immediately, but the kiddos and I stayed 10 days.<br />
<br />
Then, we came back, and four days later, the older two kids left for Georgia with Rob's mama. They went to Virginia with her to see Rob's sister and her two kids, and then they went back to Atlanta where they all met Daniel and me at the airport. We continued to south Georgia where we hung out there for a month. <br />
<br />
We got to play with our friends who still live there, and we had a ball. My kids love Rob's parents, and we really miss them while we are out here.<br />
<br />
Then we came back home and spent a lovely two weeks in our clean house that Rob worked so hard on and then the kids and I packed up and went to my mama's house for the 24th of July. It's a huge holiday there, and it was so much fun. The kids loved the parade where they got huge amounts of candy, and they enjoyed the park where we ate Najavo tacos, cotton candy, and snow cones. It was lovely. We also played a lot with Camille.<br />
<br />
Then, we came back, and we are almost caught up from that trip. We probably would be except that we have had several bouts of sickness since then. <br />
<br />
Daniel has had yet another ear infection, and Jackie was blowing chunks while at the same time, her tonsils got so swollen that she was having some difficulty breathing. The antibiotics worked alright for both of them.<br />
<br />
On Friday, we took Rob to the airport where he flew to Montreal, Quebec, Canada to attend the Acadamy of Management conference. We are missing him, but we get to pick him up at 1:30 today.<br />
<br />
Now, our goal is to get ready for school to start. We find out who Jackie's teacher is today, and I am also going to see if I can enroll Ben in preschool this week. <br />
<br />
I don't email family letters anymore. Maybe I should.le35http://www.blogger.com/profile/03897932629532339487noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135188917425528500.post-54834068840697748762010-07-12T13:36:00.003-04:002010-07-13T17:13:52.572-04:00Smart for Life<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I was ecstatic to find a box on my doorstep from Smart For Life. Mom Central is hosting a blog tour for </span><a href="http://www.under-way.com/"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">under-WAY</span></a><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"> and </span><a href="http://www.smartforlife.com/"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Smart For Life</span></a><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"> products. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Their product idea is that you eat cookies and drink lots of water, and you lose weight. I don't really need to lose any pounds, but my body could use some toning after having three babies. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">They sent cookies, a bagel, and some no calorie drinks. The drinks are sort of like a flavored water or a sports drink in flavor, but they taste all right. The one problem that I see with them is that they still taste like they don't have any sugar in them. I have never been a fan of aspartame or <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">sucralose</span>, so these products don't completely do it for me, but I had an ulterior motive for wanting to be a part of this blog tour. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Most people who read this blog know that my husband is overweight and a diabetic. He doesn't always want to eat what he should, so I have been keeping my eyes open for diabetes friendly foods. Smart For Life totally fits the bill. The products are flavorful, full of good nutrients, and full of fiber. My favorite of all of them were the chocolate chip cookies. They were soft, and when eat them and drank one of the under-WAY waters at the same time, they were not only edible, but pretty yummy. If I were really wanting to lose weight, Smart For Life would be a blessing to me.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><br />
</span><br />
<em><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of underWAY and Smart for Life and received samples of the products to review.</span></em>le35http://www.blogger.com/profile/03897932629532339487noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135188917425528500.post-58510437777401355482010-07-09T10:44:00.000-04:002010-07-09T10:44:21.417-04:00A trip to ScotlandJackie: Hey Mom, Ben and I are going on a trip.<br />
<br />
Mom: Really? Where?<br />
<br />
Jackie: Scotland<br />
<br />
Ben: Scotland is in Jackie's room.<br />
<br />
Mom: How are you going to get there?<br />
<br />
Jackie: We were going on an airplane, but the airline canceled our flight.<br />
<br />
Mom: Really. So what are you going to do instead?<br />
<br />
Jackie: Drive.<br />
<br />
Mom: You can't drive all the way to Scotland. You have to cross the water to get to Scotland.<br />
<br />
Jackie: Oh. <em>pause</em> We'll drive around the water.<br />
<br />
Mom: But Scotland is all the way across the ocean. You can't drive that far.<br />
<br />
Jackie: Oh. Then we'll take a truck to the ocean and go in a boat.<br />
<br />
Mom: What type of boat.<br />
<br />
Jackie: A motor boat.<br />
<br />
Ben: I built the motor boat.<br />
<br />
Jackie: He built me one too.<br />
<br />
Ben: Nope. I only built one, but I am going to share with you, Jackie.<br />
<br />
Jackie: We're going to share Ben's motor boat across the ocean.<br />
<br />
Mom: OK.<br />
<br />
Ben: And we are going to walk when we get there. And really, we are just going to walk. Scotland is in Jackie's room.le35http://www.blogger.com/profile/03897932629532339487noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135188917425528500.post-18562793956585812042010-06-23T23:29:00.000-04:002010-06-23T23:29:52.348-04:00LifeSo, things haven't really been going on on this blog much, and if I even still have any readers, I may be shocked. However, I am happy to announce that I am visiting my in-laws for the next few weeks, so to those of you who are in this neck of the woods, let me know if you want to get together. If you don't know where I am, shoot me an email at <a href="mailto:le35@yahoo.com">le35@yahoo.com</a>. I don't share locations with just anyone, ya know. :) So, my book is coming a long, and I have about half of it written. Jackie will start first grade this fall, and she is reading pretty well. Things are going alright with us now, but things got rocky there for awhile, so I just had to let things go. One things I let go was this blog. My next plan for the blog is to do a series of posts about a few sewing projects and a few posts about how I part time EC'd Daniel, and how sometime he cries if he has to poop in his diapers now. All things considered, things are good.le35http://www.blogger.com/profile/03897932629532339487noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135188917425528500.post-86068680941663056712010-04-30T22:13:00.000-04:002010-04-30T22:13:54.615-04:00Class reunionJust so people know. This summer is our 10 year class reunion. If any of my classmate readers want to pass this message along, please do. <br />
<br />
Our 10 year reunion is going to be over the 24th of July in our home town. Look up Ken on Facebook and join his fan of Class of 2000 facebook site. :) Smile big, and I hope to see many of you there.le35http://www.blogger.com/profile/03897932629532339487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135188917425528500.post-47434538107022608862010-03-12T12:33:00.000-05:002010-03-12T12:33:21.263-05:00My bookSo, I am certain that some people are wondering why I haven't been posting all that often lately, and I know that's not a very big difference, but I have looked at my post list and realized that until the last few days, it has been even less often than usual. <br />
<br />
Therefore, I am going to tell you that I am writing a book. It is an LDS fiction novel and therefore, not all of my readers may enjoy it, but I think that it's interesting. (Hence the reason I'm writing it.) <br />
<br />
After much soul searching I have decided that I want to post the first chapter on my blog. I haven't decided how to do that. I would like to put it under a new tab, but I don't know how. If any one has any suggestions on how to post it or how to insert a new tab into my home page, feel free to let me know. Thanks.le35http://www.blogger.com/profile/03897932629532339487noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135188917425528500.post-2784849096550770002010-03-10T21:52:00.000-05:002010-03-10T21:52:50.553-05:00MiscellaneousFirst off, thanks to all people who wished me happy birthday today. I had a great birthday. I got my first (and probably only) professional massage, and it was absolutely wonderful. A great huge bucket full of thank you to Rob. I am not even going to try to ask how we are paying for it. . . That's between him and his fun money.<br />
<br />
I really ought to write something lovely about my father's funeral, but really, it's all so close to my heart, and I'm still slightly depressed about that, so I am not going to write about it. All I am going to say is that the funeral was absolutely beautiful, and all nine of my brothers and sisters and I participated in it in some fashion. It is the only time I have played the marimba where I couldn't see the keys. According to everyone else, it sounded beautiful.<br />

Instead, I am going to give the information.<br />
<br />
For anyone who knew him, I am letting you know that my dad's funeral is at noon on Friday. There will be a viewing first from 9:30-11:30 at the stake center in my home town. <br />

Here's the deal.<br />
<br />
We were planning on flying out of Lubbock's airport at 5:45 am on Christmas morning. However, weather conditions were not favorable due to a big snow storm on December 23rd and a good inch of ice on the roads that didn't melt on Christmas Eve. However, we did get some good times in the Snow. We were going to build a good sized snow man, but the snow really didn't pack well. Here is a picture of Rob throwing a snowball, but notice how the snow ball fell apart.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq-8315AiCCr588LNYTVbv7HRfkSpeqY9XDzIv4fmbRxNsRiY3sG5TAd2XOCWuVi2uhttV06bBXfriKKmCEOECFepBSc33uvgCmMlcC1ZlAy9DwuwOH-45uvpNBIkGvei2_FXihs6cDUM/s1600-h/Rob+Snowball.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq-8315AiCCr588LNYTVbv7HRfkSpeqY9XDzIv4fmbRxNsRiY3sG5TAd2XOCWuVi2uhttV06bBXfriKKmCEOECFepBSc33uvgCmMlcC1ZlAy9DwuwOH-45uvpNBIkGvei2_FXihs6cDUM/s320/Rob+Snowball.jpg" /></a><br />
</div>So, we still let the kids open their presents on Christmas Eve and only did Santa presents Christmas morning because we had promised the children. We got a nice relaxed Christmas at home, in a clean house. However, my house was not clean when we left for Georgia on the 27th. We landed in Georgia, and Papa, Grandmama, and Rob's sister and her family were there to meet us. The kids had a ball with Grandmama Robinson. We even got to go to build a bear. That was a great experience for my kiddos. We had a blast with them, and then they left from Grandmama's and then Rob's stepgrandmother came to visit, and my kids loved that too. While we were there with Grandmother Pauline, we decided to have a birthday party for Daniel, so here are some highlight pictures from that. <br />
<br />

I really liked it. The hot is HOT, and I'm too much of a sissy for that, but I really liked the Mild. It has a nice kick to it, but it doesn't burn my mouth, and the flavor is lovely. The salsa has a nice sauce and is full of vegetables that give it a rich flavor. I really liked it and would like to try it again.<br />
<br />
This salsa is only being launched in select cities, namely LA, Dallas, Denver, and Phoenix. If you're someone who lives in one of these areas, this product will be available at select Walmarts and other grocery stores.<br />
<br />
<em>I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by <a href="http://www.momcentral.com/">Mom Central</a> on behalf of Rosarita and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.</em><br />

My first favorite is a Dr. Pepper commercial set to the song "I Would Do Anything For Love." If anyone wants to find it. Leave a comment and let me know. My other favorite is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZG_tTjQEmY">this</a> Aiwa Sound commercial.

I wrote a blog post awhile ago where I was willing to swap with people for a gift made just for them. It was supposed to be sent by the end of the year, but those items will have to wait until after the New Year to come. I will have each of them to you by Jan 31st. I'm truly sorry, and I know that I'm an enormous slacker. Good luck. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and has a Happy New Year.le35http://www.blogger.com/profile/03897932629532339487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135188917425528500.post-66881978035630780242009-12-24T01:37:00.000-05:002009-12-24T01:37:13.921-05:00O Christmas Tree<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I am a master procrastinator. I can procrastinate until pretty much the last minute and then be able to pull off a beautiful project. When I put my mind to something, I am able to accomplish amazing feats in not very much time. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I'm either an ENFP or an ENTP. Every time I've taken the tests, the F and T are tied. What this gives me is the amazing ability to see a project and a way to finish it and lots of energy to get it done. I'm not sure energy is the right word. Maybe it's lots of adrenaline to get it done as long as the timing is down to the wire. Saturday of this week rolled around, and my Christmas tree was still in the attic. Because I couldn't face having to drag it down and then try to keep Daniel out of it for the rest of this week while I have been trying to pack, wrap presents, and got sidetracked by various other activities, my Christmas tree is still in the attic. We did decorate a Christmas tree Saturday night though. Here are some pictures. It's made out of poster board.<br />

However, it's the best of all of them except for the pictures with the kids too. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night<br />
