Not So Brief Update
Sorry guys. I fully expected the blog on Friday and perhaps once during the weekend. You can blame my sister. Beka came to town for a visit and I did not get anything done. I did not really out of my last post depressing for so long. However, it is late and I just finished filling 70ish Christmas cards, then I’ll make this quick. Here are some things to chance my weekend.
* Beka arrived Friday evening and I was very tired. I went to bed early, even if not in town until 9pm. I think we both talked about a night (or morning) about 3 hours.
* Saturday morning we went to a birthday party for my cousin’s young son, Owen. It was his first birthday and it was really sweet. Shiloh had fun and I think we got some cute pictures. (Beka took and I have not watched yet.) It was a game and really nice and quiet. I do not know why I do not do that for parts of Shiloh. I’m not the kind hostess.
* After the game Beka went to a friend Marriage and Shiloh, and I went home for a nap. I thought about going to marriage, but I did not have a baby-sitter and I knew I would like to see a lot of old friends and I instantly wanted to be 20 pounds thinner. (I know this is silly, but I’m serious. If I had lost more weight now, I would have probably disappeared.) I am sorry not to go because Beka saw several people I didn ‘ ‘ve not seen in years. But there was too Shiloh. Beka said other people have children, but Shiloh was crazy without a nap.
* I had a sitter Saturday night and Beka, Tiffany, and I went to a movie. Unfortunately I can not remember the name of the film. Something about Christmas. He Debra Messing (I think that’s his name) in it. It was cute. Tiffany said she thought we should go skating. This would have been more fun than a movie – just something different – but we had to go to Nashville and I had to Shiloh by 11pm. I felt bad because I Pooper the game, but there is not much I could do about it. Beka has not yet children and Tiffany was the son of the house with her husband. I was the only one who had a baby-sitter. We have always had a good time though.
* At the time we returned home to Tiffany to take our cars, it was already 11pm and I had to rush to get Shiloh. Beka and Tiffany were talking and having a good time to Beka decided to stay with Tiffany for a while. It was not their fault, and this is not the baby-sitter is the fault (it is impressive even for a baby-sitter), but I felt sad to see that all I had to leave then they had their daughter speak. He just feel alone, even if I had just finished a pleasure to the girl the night. I wanted to return to Shiloh and Tiffany’s, but it’s not just Shiloh. So I went home. I think Beka remained at Tiffany’s up about 3 hours.
* Oh, and we were originally supposed to go to a predator hockey Saturday night, but we were unable to obtain tickets as we expected and we could not afford. And Tiffany is not a fan of hockey. (I can not believe I’m still friends with her … It’s a good thing she has fun hanging out with. Haha.)
* I saw seven stars shooting Saturday night. Seriously! And I was not outside the search for them or anything. I saw most of them while I was driving home and a couple when I was walking from the car at home. I began to wonder if the sky was falling or something. I have not seen a shooting star for years. It was crazy to see seven of them. I wanted to look online and see if there was a meteor or something, but I forgot. Oh, and it is also cool to see them now than it was when I was a child.
Our church had the child’s Christmas play on Sunday morning. I thought it went well. Much better than practice on Wednesday evening. (I was afraid. I believe that all adults who contributed were afraid. Children do not know all their lines a week ago.) I just wanted to help, I did not play or what whatever, but I was really proud of our children. They drive me crazy sometimes, but they are so cute on the scene.
* Shiloh has to Mary at the end of the room and sit in the barn with a baby doll. I was really afraid that she would do something crazy or refuse to go on stage at all, but sat there better than some of the older children. She undressed the Child Jesus, because she said it was changing its layer, but at least the play was over at that time. (She was still on the scene if.) I’ll show some photos of Shiloh, the first play about Wordful Wednesday.
* I was going to take Shiloh to see Santa at the gallery next weekend. I made plans to go with two of my cousins and their children. That will not happen. Shiloh is terrified of Santa. Since I’ve never seen that her fear throughout his life. One adolescent boys was dressed as Father Christmas to church on Sunday. Shiloh came and said she wanted to see Santa (she likes on TV). Beka transported him, and when they were near Shiloh started screaming hysterically. Beka quickly took her back to me, but I could not even calm. She was trying to climb my shoulder (and Santa was out of sight). I took her to another room and she was still crying and shouting, "I do not Father Christmas. I do not Father Christmas." More and more. A little friend of his dad offered to take her, and surprisingly, she visited him. (Only surprising because she was so angry.) It was able to calm down, but I had to watch Santa and make sure it did not see him again. Even after his nap, she wakes up she still does not like Santa Claus. Then she told me that Santa is trying to disguise as God. I have no idea what that means, but it made me laugh because it was so serious about this. Today (Monday), she still randomly Father Christmas and it’s not like him. I was so happy she did not have nightmares last night because she was so afraid of him. I do not blame her, I always thought it was a little creepy myself …
* Oh, and few people at a church that did not hear bloodcurdling screams of Shiloh came up to her, after she was calm, and asked him if Santa was coming to his house on Christmas Eve. It has a terrified look and began a small new song, "I’m not like Father Christmas. I do not like Santa."
That was about all we have this weekend. I did not sleep much since Beka was in town, but we had fun. The work is going well so far this week. I hope this will be much better than last week. I decided to take a vacation day on Thursday, because let’s face it, I do not get a real vacation at any time during the next decade or two, and I want to clean and s organize and wrap gifts and finish my shopping before Christmas. So who will be much easier to do with Shiloh at the center.
I started several posts, and I try to write some weeks before Christmas. My sister and brother-in-law will be in town for most of the week, and if I am not ready to certain positions, I’m afraid I will not at all post next week. But I have so many subjects that I want to write about, if only I could find, or do the time. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and I’ll catch up on your blogs.
