hey guys - love the santa pictures! my kids are past that age (i even tried to pay brandon to take his picture with santa, he said no go). so, atleast i get to look at yours! i love wylie's happy yet reluctant look on his face and emily does look like she is ready to hang out for the day.

so i know i am a little late - but leslie is everyone better at your house now? i totally get the grandchild favoritism thing - same thing at my mom's house, a thousand pictures of katelyn (laura's kid) and barely any of mine. although i am partly to blame because i think laura is the one that puts them there and i don't. i have learned the less you care the easier it is to deal with the disfunctional family situation. lately my sisters have been just as hard to deal with as my mom. i don't know how you deal with living so close to it all!

well, i hope everyone is more prepared for christmas than i am - i got some stuff done today, but the whole shopping thing just sucks. today i was in toys r us and waiting in line when the guy in front of me (who was holding his kid that was around 2 yrs old) yells out "oh f*@#ing shit" totally loud then walks to another counter. who does that? i mean, your in toys r us and holding your kid! the check out guy made some comment to me about it like apoligizing. i had to go over that other counter, so i was going to tell the loser that what he should really get his kid for christmas was a pair of ear-plugs - but he walked away to fast. i guess he was in a hurry to get back to his trailer. so maybe i was bugged at the guy or maybe i was just bugged by having to go shopping - well, probably a both, but i was so ready to take it out on him! hopefully tomorrows experience will be better.
