HA!

Just for the record, I was laughed at SHAMELESSLY by everyone who came over (cept for my mom, bless her heart!) Christmas eve, and then again on Christmas, for my ADORABLE Christmas sweater that I was so excited to have. But, see? That was why I wore it again, to prove how much I just don't care what they say. It would NOT win the ugly sweater contest. No way. It's too cute.

SO THERE!

I feel abundant, and I feel like stripping everything down to the bare essentials and saving everything else up for...something. Like that couple in Chicago. I can't QUITE do that, with 4 kids, but I'm going to see what I (we) can do without. And what we can do better. Like eating.

I love my Cullen. He has the sweetest heart in the world. He does so well, he really does- here I am, making us do this, that or the other, I have sugery after surgery, and I know he worries but he doesn't talk about it. But I caught him, the other day...I caught him feeling so very, very sad for me. He didn't know I saw him, but the look on his face was just so sad. He was so thrilled for me when he found out there was no reason for the sadness. He couldn't wait to tell me. It's rare that I get to see that part of him, he doesn't show me that so often.

Okay. Still hungry and still much to do to take Christmas down and wrap presents and get the kids ready to go. BIG LOVE!
