3. My wonderful family (who stands beside me no matter what goes on)
4. To have all of my children beside me
5. My friends that stand by me and appreciate me for who I am no matter what mistakes I make
6. My home to have a roof over our heads
7.That I have a church that I can go to praise God and worship in.
8. My mom

10.That I get to cook dinner for my family and I enjoy it!!
This could be the last year that I have all of my children home with me for this Holiday. I now have 2 children that are over 18. Tim graduated last year and Hayley graduates this year. Wow where has the time gone with my two oldest being adults in the eyes of the world. But still babies in my eyes. I still have 4 other babies that are under the age of 18 but before I know it Lena will be there too.
I ordered Hayley's birth certificate finally yesterday it should be here soon. Maybe by Monday oh what a surprise for her. I think maybe in January I will order Lenas and then every other month I will get the rest so they do not have to wait this long. I procastinate way to much.!!!

Ham
Black cherry Jello( the way Gina makes it with icecream)
Mashed Potatoes
Red eye gravy
Green bean Caserole (with cream of chicken)
pumpkin pie
chocolate cream pie
Yams with marsh mellows

Wednesday
The middle of the week. Not much going on today it is rainy and yucky out today. I have lots of work todo and I am trying to get my house in order. Putting things away and trying to organize things. Wow what a job our home is so small for all eight of us I think it is barely 1200 square feet maybe a little more 3 bedroom manufacture home. It has 5 acres of property but it will take lots of work to be able ot use it. It would be great with new carpet, sliding glass doors, at least 2 more bedrooms, and a family room. At least these things on the inside of the house. It needs some paint also which is not to hard its just putting my money into someone elses home. Not smart.
Today I think we will do at least 3 loads of laundry and try to get it all put away(that is the hard part). Clean up all the laundry in the laundry room and try to get it mopped today. Get my kitchen all clean mopped also. Then get my dining room organized and my living room cleaned. Then I may still have time to clean our main bathroom, and maybe make my bed and clean my room.
Then I will think of dinner also not sure what I want to have today our freezer is full of vinison. I like this but I get kinda of tired of the same food and it is hard to think of meals that all will enjoy.
I have one young lady at home today she is not feeling well so I am going to let her sleep for a while. My son bought a wii for his room. Our first game system in a while our 360 was used so much I think we wore it out. I bowled, played tennis, jet skied, golfed, and even sky dived all from our little home on the hill. My arm is so tired I can hardly move it but it was fun. I think I need to get a wii fit now that would be fun. If my arm feels like this just think of the exercise that I would get with that game. What a work out it would be maybe I would loose some weight that would be great. Then my energy may comeback and I could be motivated that would be so good for me.
Still thinking of dinner not sure what to have .

Christmas is Near
I have decided this year I am going to try to make some of my Christmas presents. Not sure what to do for everyone but I hope I can figure it out as time goes. I know Alisabeth will be the easiest one Barbie clothes, barbie furniture, Dolly Clothes , and maybe a blanket for her bed. Jon I am not sure he has been playing a lot with legos this year, farm animals, and his trucks. He really wants a big truck and trailer. Not sure how I can do that but I will do my best.
I really hope that maybe we can build Hayley a hope chest this year that would be a great gift for a teen. That way we can just fill it as time goes.
Lena I really do not have an idea unless I learn to make jewelery she loves necklaces of all kinds long ones and short ones. I think she would even love to have a quilt. Something with memories, colors, and other things that remind her of family. Maybe an easel or somethings to use for painting she seems to really enjoy painting things.
Sarah might be a little more difficult I am still thinking for her not sure what yet.
Tim Jr. and Tim Sr. are pretty difficult I think because they are boys and I do not want to make something that is too cheesy for them.
I would like to start my moms quilt also I want it to be a memory quilt. Something to do with her life of all of us and especially of things my dad enjoyed. Maybe some pictures of them ironed on the material.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know that would be great. All ideas are appreciated. I just feel that Christmas should come from the heart not what you can buy for them that can be done all year long.
