Sunday Morning

I am heading out of here for a 6:30 meeting, followed by a meeting with a sponsee. I am tired and wish I could stay home, but I am sure I will be glad I got out once I get going.

My family and I celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. So, this is my last day to get everything ready. I am not nearly done, or in some things, I haven't even started. I haven't done my grocery shopping yet for our Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding dinner (why did I capitalize those words?) I haven't got a present for my son yet.

And I don't have much for anyone else either. It is very unlike me. I haven't had time, and I haven't had much money (I got hit with an unexpected tax bill this month that had to be paid RIGHT NOW!!!) So, I guess it will be a humble thing. For instance, the sponsee I am meeting with this morning gave me a Christmas gift yesterday. I have nothing for her. I am going to give her a card, and that is all. And I haven't given gifts to my sponsor or other sponsees either. This is unusual. But it is going to have to be OK. This December has been very unusual.

I better get going. Please, let's all try to stay calm today and remember that this is supposed to be a celebration of the birth of Baby Jesus.

An unusual December?
How unusual.
Does this mean you aren't treating me to that trip around the world?

Have a lovely, sober and peaceful, Christmas. And enjoy that roast beef!

We'll stay calm over here. As calm as a husband and wife and 8 kids can be. hehe

Have a great Christmas. A gas bill is a lousy gift :)
Take care and God bless.

being a sponsor and a sponsee seems like huge gifts you give out

Remembering the reason for this season and staying calm...

Merry merry Mary Christine

I didn't support the economy this year. That's okay, less stress for me!
