Okay, after MUCH delay, a final blog for 2008. I feel it appropriate to share something that I meant to share many weeks ago (one of the many things that should have been blogged long ago).
Each week at Bailey's school that have what they call "Family Write Night." It is when a child and a parent is supposed to sit down and write on a topic together. Then we read and correct each other's paper, etc. Okay, that is if it is done the ideal way. We did it like that once upon a time, but it typically now is when Bailey sits down and writes, then later that night, when all of the kids are in bed, either Shane or I write something so that she gets credit for a parent writing and being involved.
One week, Bailey chose the topic, "If I could make a holiday greeting card this is what I would make it like." She then proceeded to write about and describe her card. Then she made the card just as she had described. Later that night, in the midst of all of the holiday chaos and needing to get all of the things accomplished that the crazy time of year brings I sat down to think of a creative holiday card. This is my write night. Consider this your holiday card -- belated as it may be.
My dream holiday greeting card would be one amazing card. it would actually be magical. It would personalize it's greeting for the person it's being sent to. In fact, the front graphic and greeting would match the likes or style of it's recipient, and the greeting inside would likewise be fitting for the person to receive it. I could then just sign it (the least I can do) and put it in the envelope. It would then address itself, affix a stamp to the corner, and manage to find it's way to the mailbox.
Okay, a little much to ask for, but at least it would get done. I can't recall how many years it's been since I've stopped to take the time to send out cards to beloved friends and family. I guess at our household, it it doesn't cry, whine, smell, need to be fed, bathed, dressed, mopped, washed, vacuumed, wiped down, watered, turned off or on, or involve primary children, it probably won't get done any time too soon.
Happy holidays from our house to yours! Many happy wishes for the upcoming year!

I was starting to think that Morgan was hogging the computer all the time so you weren't able to do a little blogging for yourself. Can't believe I won't see you until next year! Hope Shane has a great b-day and we see you soon!
Not even! I relieved the computer from a little work and started using some computer time to practice the piano, and even practice my multiplication facts.
sooo....been thinking about blogging? Or is this just a total waste of time??
I just wanted to let you know that someone...anyone could have had a baby by now since the last time you blogged. I mean seriously. If I were your children and I didn't have a neat history of my mother to read when she was dead I would...well, just get on the blogging already!
WOW! look how long it has been since you blogged! Maybe you could surprise us and throw a little update our way. I need something new to read.
