She’s practically grown
You know your little sister is growing up when you go from the cool, older sister to the out-of-style, older sister. Everything I like, she hates. I’m sorry but I have good taste, age be darned. I like her to dress fashionable but cute, but she prefers fashionable and more revealing than what I’d like. I know she is in middle school and that is the time girls change and become their own person but can’t she just wait a few more years? And her attitude! Geez. Oh well, even though she can get on my last nerve, I am looking forward to the next couple of years. I know we won’t be shopping for a prom dress at tjformal.com anytime soon but I do have her 8th grade dance to look forward to in two years. I cannot wait to see her grow up and all the things her future holds for her. She is a bright and beautiful young woman, and the world better watch out because she has a lot to offer!

My little country boy
One thing I was really excited about finding Gray for Christmas was a pair of carhartt coveralls. It is no secret that my little guy is pure country through and through. He loves cars, trucks, four wheelers, and trains so it is no surprise that he loves wearing overalls and boots. In fact, he gets quite angry with me when I do not allow him to wear his boots around the house. I like them but they do not really fit and I much prefer him in jeans, a button up shirt, and his Converse. What can I say, I like to see my little guy rocking out in cute clothes instead of his country wear all the time like his daddy. I also fight with his daddy about his apparel at times. I have no clue why guys seem to like the most hideous clothes at time. I guess that is just a mystery I will never solve.

Just Scan It
It is no secret that losing weight is one of my current goals. With added technology, my goal is even more achievable than ever. By using a barcode scanner online provided via my cell phone, I can instantly scan what foods I am eating and add to my food diary instead of taking the time to write every single item down in a notebook. Paper trails are no more which I am happy about. I’m sorry but I used to spend more time writing down my food diary than actually eating. That, my friends, is no fun. Technology is going to make my goal to lose weight a lot easier which I am totally thankful for.
Read MoreWaiting on Santa
Well, my aunt’s house went as planned with the men talking about micrometers, car parts, and football while the women chatted about family and mainly babies while dinner was set out. Dinner was so delicious. Watching my cousin hold and coo over her baby really made me miss Grayson. We do not get him until tomorrow morning so any family event does not feel complete without him. So since dinner is done and we are back at my mom’s, I can look forward to a full night of wrapping presents from Grayson and my two siblings. I swear, I do not understand why my mom can’t just put everything out without wrapping it all. I mean I can understand wrapping a few things but for my mom, everything needs to be wrapped. I am sure in the next hour or two my wrapping skills will dramatically drop. If so, do not say I didn’t call it first! 
Despite the wrapping overload, I am looking forward to spending one-on-one time with my sister!

Schweet!
Ever since I started the teaching program and have had to complete my practicum anywhere in the surrounding county as well as my own, my husband has been very worried about me driving that far in the early morning and the afternoon traffic. Plus, he worries when I drive around with Grayson, especially with my old car. Now that I got my newer car I have not had to really worry as much but he still is a worry wart at heart. Because of this, he has been looking into a roadside assistance plan offered by our car insurance company. Hey, I think that’s a very schweet deal for me since I can always use the added reassurance that if something goes wrong I will be taken care of and not having to fork out a lot of money to have my cousin come check out my car means more money in my pocket! All around I think a roadside assistance plan is something that would be a great investment since I surely do not want to be stuck on the side of some country road in the middle of nowhere!!

Get your gold
Now it is even easier to get the things you want with the internet. I remember my grandma telling me stories about how after the war my grandfather had saved in order to buy each of his daughters gold bars to put away for their future. During the time, buying of gold bars was a great idea to save for one’s future. Now, you can buy gold online and have it delivered to you without stepping outside of your house. How awesome is that? I mean I don’t plan on buying gold anytime soon since all the money we get goes to bills, diapers, and gas, but still I am sure there are people out there that would benefit from this service.

Christmas Time
Tonight we will be going to my aunt’s for our annual Christmas dinner. Even though my family consists of a lot of cooky people, I always look forward to spending time with them. In fact, I wish I had more time to spend with each and every one of my family members, even those that manage to annoy me within a five minute conversation. Every year, the dinner is the same. The men will stay in the living room or outside on the porch talking about cars, amt pumps, and God knows what else why the women stay inside and chat about family life while setting everything out and getting the last minute dishes prepared. Then we will all eat and after dinner conversation will be a mix of everyone trying to talk at once about anything and everything while getting a little tired from the turkey. What is Christmas like at your house?
