so, it's christmas eve. i remember posting last christmas eve … and it's pretty much the same this year. feels like just another day. kind of drab … kind of sad. except last year alyssa was at her dad's celebrating … and this year both the girls are there. joe's sleeping just like last year … because he worked last night, just like last year. i'm doing laundry and some cleaning up … just like last year. still have some "lifetime" christmas movies recorded … just like last year. lol!

just not the same here without the girls. but i know they're having a great day. sarah went with alyssa … i know she has lots of presents under their tree, so she's going to be loving it! i will miss them tonight though. noone here to hang up the stockings … put out milk and cookies for santa … and just enjoy the excitement that is "christmas eve". and then christmas morning … no one to wake me up wanting to rush to open gifts and see what came in their stockings. i'm sure they'll be back around 10am or so … but not the same.

funny … i copied this post word for word from last christmas eve. it all fits for this year too … every part of it. the girls just left … and haley is just about set to leave for the day too … and joe is sleeping. it's 12:30 in the afternoon on christmas eve … and i'm here alone. and it's raining and drab out. so looks like my christmas eve will be spent working on some assignments. and waiting patiently for tomorrow morning … when the girls are back and joe's awake after working all night again … and our christmas will begin.

    Just thought you would like to know…I enjoy reading your blog.
    You will have to put the cookies and milk out for Santa and send a picture to your girls (if they have a phone).
    Just think of all the scrapbooking you can do tonight! ;D
    Have a Merry Christmas!

    Here is a Christmas (((hug))) for you. It is hard to share the most precious gift given to you. Here is in hopes you find something to busy yourself until morning.
    I also wanted to say how much I appreciate all of your post and projects of your great designs on your blog. I hit your blog a few times daily. You share so much I feel like I know you as a neighbor. I do not know how you have the time to share and email a little something back.
    Merry Christmas

    you should turn on your movies, turn on the Christmas tree lights and turn off all the other lights and lay next to Joe with a nice glass of wine or what ever you love.
