Getting In The Mood

I’m not in the mood for the holiday season – yet. XmasFreeZone

I’m tired, in pain and my jaw is swollen and bruised. I am not a happy person this week. Did I mention whiny and emotional? I hate when I get this way, but I know what to do to shake off the hum-bugs…

I need to watch It’s a Wonderful Life. Bake cookies, bread, and fudge. Decorate the house (after cleaning it!). Nag hubby to get our tree and lights up. Play Christmas music. Kidnap granddaughters to help with baking and assorted decorations. These things send me over to the festive side every time.

What gets YOU in the mood??

What I am Thankful For

  • For the modern medicines that keep me alive
  • That I do not live in Iraq, Iran, or any of those disgruntled terrorist countries
  • That my alarm clock no longer wakes me up at 3AM Mom – Fri
  • That my job no longer interferes with all my doctor appointments
  • Hubby has agreed to me rescuing a dog
  • For internet shopping
  • For the teeth that remain in my head
  • For my Guardian Angel, who really should get a raise
