It is almost over!
I realise that next Tuesday isn’t going to create a blank slate or anything but oh my goodness amd I stoked to close the door on 2007. What a crappy year.
Am I allowed to hope for better?
Seriously, who knew? I spent a half an hour this morning yanking pinfeathers out of a turkey’s butt. I also got the pleasure of squeezing feather bits out of the wings, much like how a person would squeeze the pus out of a zit, except without the satisfaction.
I’m a turkey virgin. Can you tell?
We are busy prepping for Christmas.
Here are some glimpses of what Christmas looks like at my place.

Happy Christmas to each of you!
Made myself a little Maggie fairy today. More info on the products will follow soon.
Three years ago today Maggie arrived. I honestly can’t believe it has been three years. She has gone from charming baby to silly toddler to very smart, creative princess Maggie the preschooler. The girl can identify her numbers from 1-10. She knows several letters and can recognize her name. She sings Twinkle, Twinkle and Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam and Puff the Magic Dragon. She is a lover of all things pink and girly, princess and Dora. She adores kitties. She spends hours each day coloring and painting- I literally can’t keep her in coloring books. She has worn out a magnadoodle in a year. She is the sweetest, most compassionate, silliest kid.
We had a party for her a few days ago. We had thirteen of her little friends from nursery there. They played playdough, decorated their own cupcakes and opened gifts. I wrapped up a small dress up set of jewelry for each of the guests to open during present time so there were no meltdowns. Maggie was absolutely enthralled with the bouquet of balloons I bought her- she carried them around for four days straight. She was a delight. She snuck cupcakes during the entire party, and then crashed so hard from the sugar rush afterward that she burst into tears surrounded by all of her new toys. It was so quintessentially three of her that I had to try very hard not to laugh at her where she could see me.
I am so blessed.
I received a letter in the mail today from Jonas’ school. It was yet another message requesting that I send in Jonas’ physical and dental exams and his immunization records. This one included a threat. Jonas will not be allowed in school as of Jan. 7th if these items are not delivered.
I gave them all of the information that they requested when I registered him back in June. I distinctly remember doing this because I thought it was a pain in the butt and it took me two trips to and from the school district office and the Pediatric Clinic to get it done right. I did this trip with two cranky children and got several dirty looks from the people in the office and was asked if I would like to come back another time without them, to which I replied, “No thank you,” because any other time would have required paying a babysitter or going through this again. Oh yeah. I remember this clearly.
So now I get to jump these hoops AGAIN due to someone’s incompetence.
This time I think I will bring my camera with me so I can take a close up picture of me handing these to someone in their office. Then I’m going to make the person sign a reciept stating that I had, indeed, delivered these. That way, when I start getting holier than thou letters from the school district again, I have some proof.
