Merry Merry

yes, it's the evening of Christmas here on the East Coast. a wonderfully filled day with family, and wrapping paper, and gifties, and love.

we enjoyed the day filled with wishes fulfilled, and dreams answered ....

for the most part. :)

k-gal didn't get the puppy (!) she wanted, and the big guy proclaimed that Christmas is NO TIME to give clothes as a gift. no, it should only be toys.

yeah. 9 years old.

:)

hope your day was wonderful .... and relaxing.

Merry Merry ....

ack!

it's that crazy time of year .... i feel organized on the outisde (most are wrapped already! woohoo!) and i feel calm with the inevitable rush of activity .... but i also feel frenzied to get it all together and have everyone be happy.... i haven't been attentive to the bloggie. :(
but i have been attentive elsewhere ... so with that, i will say i am here, but i am limited here.

i promise to have a holiday post, though ... perhaps tomorrow evening after the squirts head to dreamland.

grow* (edited for clarity)

sometimes i need to be reminded of that. with every step, with every move, grow.


i've been given an opportunity to process some news that really stung. it was a professional decision that makes no sense. not just to me, but to several colleagues, and family members. i don't have much more to say about it, except that i am working through the process of the news. i was hurt yesterday. i'm mad today. tomorrow, i will take another step to finishing the process.


until then, take a look at this fabulous happy snap of the 4 of us at Niagra Falls on Thanksgiving Day.


talk about giving me the moment i needed today. thanks, dad for the photo. :)


**** edited to add: it just dawned on me, given the fragile economy, and the underlying feeling of my post, that i may have actually lost my job. in fact, that is not true - thankfully, i am still gainfully employed. i was however, passed over for a promotion that was something i had looked forward to achieving. and had been working on for a while now.
