>I’m exhausted from shopping all this morning. Mom and I were at Kohl’s by 6:00, then went to Target and Bath and Body Works. I spent $400 today (YIKES!), and I’m almost totally done with my Christmas shopping!
Also, I ordered this new toy for myself, and can’t wait to get it in the mail soon!:
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. We did!
>Sigh…I want to write something meaningful and heartfelt, but I’m spent. My heart has been heavy the past couple of days, because my boss’ wife is dying. It’s only a matter of days…
She’s had pancreatic cancer for just over a year now, and that is not a good cancer to have (not than any cancer is “good”). There is just nothing more the doctors can do. My boss is usually emotionally stable, so it was pretty hard to watch him cry at my desk this afternoon telling me all that has happened in the past few days. I didn’t know what else to do…I just sat there and cried with him. I feel so helpless. It’s my job to make things easier for him, but this time there is nothing I can do.
Sometimes I just don’t understand this life we live. It’s filled with so much pain and despair, and it’s hard to see the good things peeking through the black cloud that’s created by that sadness we feel. I’m praying hard tonight that God helps me understand just a little more about the chaos that we live in. And I’m praying even harder for a miracle…
>I know I’m not a mother, but I still love to read Simple Mom. She always has something interesting to read, and today is no exception! Check out today’s blog to hear about the best in reusable tote bags.
What? You say you don’t use those at your house? WHATAREYOUWAITINGFOR? Sit. Let me convince you.
1. They’re so much cuter than those nasty plastic bags you get from the grocery.
2. They hold so much more! I am amazed at how I can consistently get a week’s worth of groceries into two bags. TWO BAGS!
3. It’s way better for the environment. Seriously people. Do you know how many gazillion plastic bags are used every year? Those things aren’t biodegradable!
Now, get over to Simple Mom and learn all you needed to about these awesome bags. AND you can enter to win some too!
