Christmas isn’t about what gifts you can buy! Christmas is about love and about Jesus Christ!

I was so upset being out of work and thinking about not being able to buy the things I have in the past for my family! I was so down and depressed!

My grandkids are spoiled little monsters and I have always thought I had to outdo the other grandma! This year I can’t do it! They are each getting one thing I know they really want and a couple little things! Then I have the oldest two that have a birthday on the 1st of January! This year I hope I can give them a lesson on the true meaning of Christmas!

Today is my hubby’s and my 30th Anniversary! I cannot hardly believe we have been married 30 years! We have had many ups and downs over the years, but mostly ups! I had all kinds of plans for our anniversary this year, but my health issue and money stopped that too! We have decided to wait until spring and then do something special then! At least it gives me something to look forward to and plan!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Big HUGS!

Feeling a little down on myself again, but sticking to plan. I had my dentist appointment yesterday! I knew I had a couple teeth that were issues, but it was even worse than that. The dentist is going to actually send me estimates of a couple different routes I can take as far as getting my teeth fixed depending on what my insurance will cover and what I will have to pay. I went on line my insurance company has a cost estimater and although that is what it is an estimater, it doesn’t look good so far. So far it looks like I will probably have to pay another 500 dollars on top of what my insurance covers! I am like I may need to get a second job just to get my teeth fixed. The thing that gets me is I have always taken care of my teeth, but we have had no dental insurance in so long I have not been able to go to the dentist! I am so discouraged at this point, but I won’t give in to my old ways. I want to be able to smile without wondering if people can see my bad teeth. I think some people think I am a sour puss because I don’t smile easily because I am so self conscience of how I look.

Woo Hoo! I am so excited I have an unexpected three day weekend! No, school on Monday for teachers confrences! I can always use a ME day!

I hope you all have a good weekend!

Big HUGS!

Check out my new picture. It is suppose to be reddish brown it is more red than brown. I have never gone darker. I have always gone blonde. Be honest what do you think. My hubby just keeps looking at me and smiling! When I ask him if he likes it he just says he needs to get use to it! We have been married almost 30 years and I have always been a blonde!

I have been back on track for 3 days and feel so great being in control again.

Hope you are all having an amazing week!

Biggest HUGS!

I need some help deciding should I stay blonde or go redhead! I went and got a new haircut yesterday. I went a little shorter. I use to color my hair ultra light blonde. I haven’t colored it in awhile. My natural hair color is mousy light brown. Now it only has blonde on the very ends. I bought a bottle of reddish brown. I didn’t color it yet. So what do you think. Should I shoot for a complete change or stick with the blonde? The reddish brown is about the same color is my oldest grandaughters hair. I love the color on her, but not sure on me!

Yesterday I stuck with my goals for this week. I need to do this for me!

I hope you are all having an amazing week!
