It's Almost Christmas

It's the Saturday before Christmas and I have so much to do. Well okay not too much. Today was supposed to begin 6 days in a row off for Justin, but as with being the boss you have to make sacrifices. His Assistant General Manager has pneumonia and can't work today so he has to go in. We can deal with that because he still has 5 days off and we will have Tuesday - Thursday off together. The only problem is we were all going to go out today and get the rest of the food that we need to host his family on Tuesday for brunch and my family for dinner. Now i have to take all three kids out on my own and get the things that we need. I just pray that the kids will not make this too hard for me today. The one I worry about the most is Kaleb. He is get bored and walk away and sit somewhere sometimes and as crowded as places will be today I worry about him getting lost or taken. Trust me when I say that we will be going over in great detail how we will act today and what we will do and of course I will bribe them with some kind of treat if they behave. Well I better go and get ready so we can get this done and over with.

The Weather Outside is..........Confusing!

This morning around 8a.m. the snow started falling and falling fast. Within about 2 hours we had almost 3 inches of snow. Then it started sleeting and then it all turned to rain. Now it has been raining most of the day. The tempeture has been just above freezing hense the rain and not snow. Tonight its supposed to switch back to snow and drop a couple more inches. I don't know I guess I'm glad that it wasn't all snow today but at the same time I would have really liked the snow. We're supposed to have a Live Nativity at our church tomorrow night. It's not just one of those drive by ones either. It is more like a dramatization of the night Christ was born. We have shepherds and Roman guards and live animals and all kinds of things. Now with the weather I'm not so sure how many people will come. I don't particularly want to stand outside in the cold and the snow (the high is only 28 tomorrow) and I don't really want to deal with my kids in the cold and snow either. Luckily this is one of the things that I am not involved in. We'll just have to see how tomorrow is.
