I was so thinking of you on Sunday when my van wouldn't start. I almost called you just for comfort I suppose if nothing else. What a horrible day I had. I didn't call because it's like a negative letter, who wants it?? You have been having enough of your own issues lately and I only want to call you when I'm in a good mood and can help you out, or put a positive inprint on your life. Now, I have it charged up, but I can't get the new battery in it! There is a cross member in there that we can't get out. Managed to bust off a head to one of the screws that holds on the cross memeber and then put it all back together again. Still sitting in the back of my van waiting to be put in. I was going to have Blaine put it in, but on Saturday couldn't talk TJ into letting me buy the damn battery. Come Sunday when it was dead, he was too busy. I knew that would happen but there was nothing I could do. I didn't finish with the laundry until 3:00 and then rush home, to put it all away and then make dinner for TJ and Taty, and myself. I had to finish putting every thing away because when he works, he doesn't usually help out too much in so far as making dinner or putting things away when I cook and serve it all. No different Sunday either.

I know what I want to for Christmas. A hair cut, my comforter cleaned, a laundry basket Without a hole in it and some warm shoes for work. A new outfit depending on Santa's mood. My favorite suit I am wearing today that is grey and pin stripped will be the last time I can wear it. It will go in the garbage tonight when I get home. Holes in the elbow and seam of pants that can't be fixed any longer. Sadness! Sorrow! He gave me my allowance early because pay day isn't until Thursday. $30, I think I'll have a run away! My purse is falling apart badly and I want/need one of those too and I am almost out of cover up from Mary Kay which is NOT cheap! Maybe I ask too much. I also asked for a raise for Christmas. If it helps any, I did ask to get laid FIRST on my list after being a year and 4 months or better since I've had that pleasure. He didn't find that too amusing. He did say, Maybe. I've been bad too, so who is to say what I will get from Santa. Probably nothing that I listed. He is going to give me a $100 Penny's card, I know that for sure for clothes. I don't know how well I can do with $100 and Penny's to get what I want. Which is what I had listed above. I hope this one family sends me a $25 gift card from Fred's like they do every year.

this year we are doing stockings and I'm excited to get them filled. Something new.
