I just had a nice surprise

I just got a nice surprise ! I just got friended on fb by Deena's step son. That was a HUGE surprise ! I am shocked. He (I thought) never liked me. I always thought he hated me. I could be wrong, we were so misunderstood by her. I dunno it is an incredible gesture and I feel very special right now. I do not like her but I am willing to try to be friends with him for sure !

After braving the cold today (I can't feel my toes because I have been outside smoking), I am going  to make hot cocoa from scratch.  I have printed a recipe from Cooks.com (its the BEST website out there for recipes....) I am going to make the biggest mug for my kids we had the best time today playing in the snow. I have had a great weekend !  I think that I overlook a lot of the good sometimes and need to stop doing that. My son prayed for my back to stop hurting and it did I think he definately has a gift and it really feels better. I am so glad for that. It was killing me I could hardly move today and I tried everything, Icy Hot and medicine and a hot pack. When he prayed the pain went away. Thank you Jesus ! 

I am going to clean like a tornado tomorrow and put away stuff and get the house straightened up for sure I can't take the mess that has happened over the  holidays.  I have the cleaning ladies coming too on Tuesday and need things to be picked up so they can get around and do their cleaning without being bothered. The kids will be home so I don't want them to be in the way. They got a lot of great toys to play with so maybe they won't be in the way of the ladies but they don't mind the kids . They love them a lot and are always very sweet to them, and my kids are good too. I just don't like it when they are arguing with each other. Hopefully they will be busy playing.

Today my son and I finished reading "Old Yellar" and it was a real tear jerker. I cried it got to my gut. I was so sad that the dog had to be shot.  He got hydrophobia (rabies) from a wolf that was trying to attack Travis' mom and Lisbeth. They went down and had burnt the body of their cow that had hydrophobia to keep other animals from getting it.  At the end of the book though it is great ! I am not going to tell you how it ends. It is happy though. I was laughing and crying at the same time. I know now why it won so many awards. I love to read and I sure hope my son picks it up. He really needs to, the love of reading is the key to learning. He is excellent at math. Boy is he a whiz at math he can do ANYTHING when it comes to math ! He is amazing ..

My daughter is an artist tried and true, she loves to draw and create things. She is always making things of some sort and coloring them or painting and drawing she is amazing a real natural. Her eyes are blue like the sky and so beautiful. I love her smile, she is so precious to me. She is my little angel. They both are. I can not believe I have such great kids, even when they are naughty they are still sweet and only mean to do good. Does that make sense?  I really don't think kids intentionally act out of ill will sometimes they get out of sorts and loose it. I guess it because they can't tell us what they really think for fear they will get into trouble. Kids are scared of grown ups I know I was. I think mine talk to me pretty easily compared to others and tell me when I am making them uncomfortable or if they want me to drop something. I am glad for that. Even my eight year old can do that and she knows I won't get mad. I am doing better TONS better about my attitude.

Well hope you all had a Merry Christmas and see you soon !
