12-20

I have the next 2 weeks off of work. YEAAAA, but yet I miss the kids. I've been trying to do some deep cleaning in the house so catch up on it. I don't have a dirty house by any means but I like it cleaner. Having 2 cats is work! I have to sweep every other day (fur) especially in the bathroom where their litter box is in. I need to get in my room because I have to do laundry and get present wrapped, plus I need to finish decorating it. I want it to be relaxing, yet sexy. I LOVE purple and want to keep that in there.

Just finished a book called Spirit Healing: Native American Magic and Medicine by Mary Dean Atwood. It was a good book, I checked it out from the library and want to add it to my collection. I wonder if my Great Great Grandma did the ceremonies and kept with their ways? Wish I would've known her.

My son is going to be 11 in a few days and I can't believe it and then a week in a half later my oldest will be 21...now that one I really can't believe. Wish she would be here for Christmas, I miss having a Christmas with all my children :(.

I'm starting a new thing with my kids, we are going to have a kid's cook night. My youngest daughter and son will be the ones doing it. They can take turns. I have kid's cookbooks so it will be easy for them. We'll make a menu so that way it's planned and I can have the ingredients on hand when it's their day. I'm trying to find fun traditions to start with them. I have some now but want more.
