Refreshed!!!

I've been haveing a hard time sleeping lately, and I was reading yesterday about the importance of sleep. (Bad sleep patterns can reduce your life span by 7 years!!!) So my goal this weekend is to get enough sleep, and at the right times. (no sleeping in, no extra long naps etc...) So last night, my first real try, I did something I rarely do..I took 1/2 a sleeping pill. We got the little ones to bed and then I got ready for bed and was there by 9 p.m. After reading scriptures and journaling I was asleep by 10 p.m.! For me that was big. I feel soooo good today! This is my first step, but I do realize that I will be taking a break from going to bed early just next week. Our family is found of very late nights...that's when all the really good things happen. And isn't Christmas about making memories? So here to all a good nights sleep! Love ya!!!

Merry, Merry Christmas

Hello my sisters...long time...I hope that each of you are enjoying this wonderful time of year. We are counting (via paper chains made by my littlest) the days until we are coming down. I am so excited!

Today has been a tough day for my DH. He has been very down in the dumps (had a crisis at work, and everyone pretty much blamed him.) But it has followed him home. I hate when he is like this...hopefully it will not last. We had tickets to the Mormon Tab Christmas concert last night, but he refused to go. I couldn't find a "replacement" and so I didn't go either. (sigh) They are really good. So I am a little down and needed a tech chat.

I am excited about the gift for Mom and Dad. I have been pursuing photos for my fam. This is going to be a fun Christmas. I am glad to be able to spend it with y'all! See you, hear from you, read from you soon!!!! Love ya!
