You know that feeling you get when things are just going well in your life? When you feel all peaceful and happy? Yeah, that's how I am currently feeling. I was stressed out earlier this week, due to rude customers and not having nearly enough money for Christmas. But you know what, every year things are usually tight for us and things always work out. Me and hubby put off gifts to each other until after Christmas which usually works out pretty good due to sales. Kota is always happy with what he gets. We always had the kids make Christmas lists and would try to get at least one of their most wanted items. And really, to me Christmas is having my loved ones near. I have a special reason for being happy. My son will be with us for Christmas, the first time in 4 years! And last year he was in Iraq at Christmas. Not a fun time at all. I have never worried so much in life or felt so helpless. Not only will he be here but his wonderful fiance as well. She is someone I have grown very close to and she is a welcome addition to our family.
I did get my hair cut today! And I love it! I can do so many different things with it! I can leave it curly and wear it down, straighten it, or pull it up! The guy who did my hair was fantastic. I took all 4 pics with me and he also agreed with what I had picked, #4. He did cut off quite a bit but I knew he would have to as the ends were in bad shape. He kept calling me silly affectionate names while doing my hair. Beautiful, gorgeous, sweetie. He was too funny. He said he liked my choice of hairstyle that it would suit me the best as I am a down to earth person. I looked at him and said, you mean not high maintenance? He laughed and said yes girlfriend, I was just trying to say it nicely. I will try and post pics of the new do on Friday. I don't go in to work until 4 that afternoon and I want to experiment with different styles.
I have been having a back ache lately. Last night it was killer pain. I think due to the wet cold weather. See when I had Kota I had alot of back labor. Ever since then my back acts up when the weather turns. But it doesn't hurt during the day, only at night. Hubby swears its all an act just to get a back rub. I look at him innocently and deny!
In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, keep what is real in your heart. Tell people you love them, if you do love them. Don't go up to strangers and tell them you love them, you might get taken away by the men in white coats. Give someone a hug, again not a stranger. I love hugs, it tells me the person cares about me. I used to not like hugs, now I can't get enough. I might just hug a stranger!
