The kids and I went out tonight after my son's Christmas program and had a blast.  I haven't laughed that hard for a long, long time.  It was just silliness big time.  We watched football on a few big screens ate dinner and did a little yelling at the tv .. it was fun to watch my son get into it all.  He misses out on some of this male bonding stuff .. so I try and fill in where I can .. LOL .. not always easy however .. like I told his atty .. don't worry I have bigger balls than you do. 

We were talking about last year and this time last year we were snowed in, I had no job and while things were going ok .. it was far from ok. 

This is completely different is putting it mildly this year.  I am working.  I enjoy it a great deal.  There is no snow yet .. thank goodness.  I know it's coming however not yet.  The kids are having the time of their lives (at least I hope) and things are getting to be more ok.  I am grateful for these little facts. 

It's sure not perfect .. it's sure better than it was and it's better than it has been in a very long time even before the divorce started, I'm so glad, I'm so glad .. I am sooooo glad that things have come this route. 

I was being goofy which is normal around here far more so than not .. seriously .. whatever I do or say is whatever I do or say .. LOL.  So I'm singing the latest song which came on right after Secrets, Miranda Lambert which is the best song ever .. so my daughter and I were singing that one .. then the song by Traynor?  I can't think of her first name .. If your lips are moving .. which of course completely reminds me of my XAH .. LOL .. so I was being a goof .. that has been a fav saying of mine and the kids eyeball me from time to time to the timing of that song .. soooo NOT my fault .. LOL.  I take a big left turn and my daughter starts yelping OMG OMG OMG OMG .. now at this point I can't see because I'm now crying from laughing so hard .. as all I can see out of my peripheral vision is her desperately trying to grab something between her feet and her seat belt has locked and she can't move.  Turns out she has our left overs between her feet.  I was unaware of this fact until after .. and as I'm howling trying to drive .. OMGOSH .. I'm telling you it's been a LONG time since I have laughed until I hurt so bad and just couldn't stop. 

Now the kids are laughing just because I'm laughing and they are crying talking about we don't know why we are laughing .. why are you laughing and I can't tell them because I'm laughing.  OMGOSH .. if I had gotten pulled over I would have so had to taken the sobriety road test and I doubt I could have passed it.  I would have still been laughing.  All I can think is please God .. I'm less than 3 blocks from the house can I just make it home.  Which I did .. I still haven't faced myself in the mirror because of the running mascara I must still have on my face.  I will have to deal with that before bed .. however great thing about being single .. I don't care!!  That will get taken care of .. no one to impress around here except ME! 

Today I got myself a pair of boots which I needed, pair of jeans and a new shirt .. all of which I haven't done for 2 years now.  I have worn the heck out of those boots ... boy do I mean that seriously.  It was nice to do that .. not something I can do every week .. however I sure can from time to time.  Considering I'm a jeans and t-shirt girl .. you can imagine the shape my jeans are in .. lol.  I will need to get another pair of work pants too. 

Anyway, it was just fun to be out and about this weekend, it was nice to realize whatever chaos I have going on .. it's mine .. it's no one else's .. and whatever else is coming down the pipe which God knows I could use a break from it all .. that will be dealt with accordingly. 

Tomorrow is a new week I can only hope I get to handle it all with as much grace and dignity as I did the previous week. 

Anyway, good to be home for the evening and relax a bit. 

Hugs S :)
