I decided to put up our Christmas tree early this year, we are going home to spend Christmas with my family so I want to make sure the kids have time to enjoy all the decorations at home. We went out shopping and I let the kids help me pick out new ornaments ( they were very excited ), thought is would be a good idea for a fresh start..we had the most beautiful tree ever.

Tonight we were eating dinner, when we heard a huge CRASH...the tree fell over...all our new ornaments smashed into a million pieces......ARGGGGGGGG.............

I am starting to wonder if I did something really, really, bad in a past life..

awwwwwww....well the lopsided tree just fell over and it was just one more exasperating moment for you to deal with to strengthen your character! Yeah....that's it! Time to get out the construction paper and paste and make those multi-colored chains for the tree.
Really...I'm so sorry that happened!

I don't know if you can do this. Try to see the humor in it. Think about that movie A Christmas Story and pretend it was one of the funny disasters that happened in that movie. Tell the story over and over with embellishments and laugh your butts off. Compete to see who can tell the story best. Then get (make?) all unbreakable ornaments to replace them and do something about that tree stand.

Thriver.., I have to see the humor in it, my life has been so crazy -I swear for the past year I hear Circus music playing every where I go :) I love the movie A Christmas Story...maybe I will make my kids dress up in pink bunny suits to re-decorate the tree!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
