It’s snowing. I guess it should depress me, but it’s hard when the little ones are so excited. They haven’t left the window in over an hour.

We got our tree last night.

We’ll decorate tonight and drive to Holiday Park with some hot chocolate and singing. We’ll also see Santa twice today – at the mall for Christmas wishes and at the park for a photo op. Not sure the kids can handle the excitement of the day. Wee one has been squealing and screaming all morning.

This is how you get into the mood for Christmas.

Still alive, just busy lately. And not in the posting mood. What else is new.

My interview for the job is Dec 5th. But the gal who was the temp before me applied also, and she was a whiz. I honestly don’t expect to beat her. I’ll try, but I’ve already started thinking about life at home again. And it doesn’t make me sad. MD is actually wishing for me to be back at home. Life was just so much easier. More calm. Things got done and grades were better and the house was clean and dinner was cooked. Maybe I’ll go to the interview popping my gum and showing my ass.

Got a camera for Christmas, but it blows. Everything is fuzzy. Blurry. Pics in the gallery though. A few.

I need to get busy on these rolls for tomorrow. Just having us this year. Mom flew to MS’s house – have fun with that sis. Tee hee. I’m going to enjoy just having a quiet day. Although it’d be better if we had a tree to decorate. But we have a no tree before Thanksgiving rule. It sucks. Not my rule. We’d get a tree in October if it was up to me.

Anyhooo – have a blessed Thanksgiving. Count your blessings and all that good stuff.

Almost done with Breaking Dawn, the 4th installment of Twilight. Read them Michelle. You won’t be sorry. I purposely haven’t read the past few days because I don’t want it to end. Someone said there is another book coming, and that she isn’t sure if she’s writing it or not. I’ll have to kick a bitch’s ass if this is true.

My job is about to become permanent. Not sure if I will get the job or not though. Policy is to post it both internally and externally for one week. Then interview everyone and award it to the best fit. May or may not be me. But at least this is what I wanted, in a way. Benefits would be fabulous. Pray that it’s me they pick. Please.

My friend bought MB2 a car. He paid for $1200 of it. She popped the other $1800. He’s paying her back $100 a month, but she’ll probably take some off for Christmas. He’s on cloud 9. Too bad I won’t let him drive everywhere yet. He passed his test – with a 71%. Argh. I want him to have more practice driving in the ‘big city’ before I let him tackle anything other than this dink town. And he has to have more practice driving at night. He thinks I’m such a horrible mother. Maybe I am.

They have been screwing up my pay since I started. I never noticed I was making $2 less than what I was supposed to. Pay seemed right, so I never bothered. I rarely even open my checks. It gets direct deposited, and the stub goes in the drawer. Turns out I have about $2500 coming my way. I can’t believe they’re going to pay me the back pay. So very thankful though. I was worried about Christmas. Was worried about me not working too. This will help.

Ok, time to finish this house. Guess if I lose my job, the house will be clean again. There’s always a plus. I guess.
