A week out from the fiasco. I am now resigned to thinking that we will survive. I mean, after all, we are white, we are Christians. We have nothing to fear right? This is sarcasm. I am still not ok. A friend of mine told me to keep my chin up - that good always prevails. I am watching the cabinet picks and as much as I would love to believe in goodness, it sure isn't looking good? Freedom and democracy were a good experiment. I am seeing a lot of "FAFO" on the internet and I am really not excited about the Find Out phase. My dad used to ask us if we "wanted to learn the hard way?" and I fear that all of us are about to. When he said that, you never wanted to learn that way - just for the record, the hard way was a kick to the seat of your pants. Maybe I am wrong. I have been wrong a time or 2 before. But having lived this nightmare already, I have my doubts. I think I will miss science the most. And then common decency, followed by education in general. Followed closely by separation of church and state. It's really just a tossup.
But Wrenley is ready. Since education is no longer important, she is just going to jump right into her career! Cutest little bus driver I have ever seen!
My parents gave us meat for Christmas (thank you mom and dad!!!) Since I needed the freezer space, I had to get to work making salsa with the tomatoes from my garden. I had a LOT! I am also using the peppers from my garden. I had stored everything in the freezer, waiting for my shoulder to be more usable. No more waiting. I had this stuff in the freezer, but didn't realize how much of it there was! I really grew a lot of stuff this year. Not enough to cancel out my need for the grocery store, but it is a start! I made spaghetti sauce a while back, and I have everything cut up and ready to boil out into salsa tonight. I love a good, hot, beautiful salsa! I am expanding my raised beds, and planning for next year. I need outdoor projects to keep me from paying attention to the news.
The news though, has always been one of my favorite things to watch. I like being informed, and educated about how things work. It is bad for your mental health sometimes, though. It should be easier to watch, even if I am outside since Jim decided to buy this monster tv. It was on a good sale. He told me it was his birthday gift. I am fine with him buying stuff, but I thought it would fit inside the TV hole that is in the living room. It doesn't. So now, I am researching ideas on how to hang it over the hole, and I am going to have to beg some of my children to help us over the upcoming holiday break!
Colin and Spencer got their Christmas photo done. It is a great tradition, but part of the fun is laughing at Volt's face. He usually looks like he wants to unalive someone. This year though, he looks happy! Maybe he thought he should be happier, like Cash? Or maybe they had better treats this year!
Toys? Who needs toys? Poor little girl.
This is meeting week around here. I dislike meeting week, as it means Jim is not home, I am running, and nothing is getting done the way I want it to. Luckily, the girls I have still at home are not too worried about what we eat, what we do, and don't seem to mind if they are left at home. We will survive. Weekend is gonna hit like a giant party soon!
