Christmas Recounted... or at least the big highlights

Sunday, 30 December 2007 1:31 P GMT-05
Well, for those that were curious, Jim did stay up all day Christmas (until early evening anyway) to enjoy the kids.  They were a total riot so I don't think he would've missed it for the world!  I ended up staying up until 2:30am g

By the Light of the Silvery Moon

Monday, 24 December 2007 12:14 P GMT-05
I'm sure some of y'all noticed the incredibly bright moon we had last night... lovely wasn't it?  Except that the horses noticed it too and took advantage of the extra bright night light to attempt a pasture break.  Unfortunatel

A couple hours, a hot shower and breakfast later

Saturday, 22 December 2007 8:53 A GMT-05
I'm feeling much better :)The shower was a great idea!  Nothing like scalding away a bad mood with copious amounts of hot water!  I've even forgiven Ike... even though there actually wasn't any reason for him to be barking... al

Christmas update

Sunday, 9 December 2007 11:38 A GMT-05
Thanks to everyone who commiserated with me on the "suckiness" of Jim working Christmas Eve.  In reality, he has no choice in it, but it irked me that he didn't even go through the motions of trying and then dropped it on me like i
