Losing Grey Matter at an Alarming Rate!

I couldn't, for the life of me, remember what I did on New Years Eve. I had to call Michelle. I thought maybe we'd spent it with her and Steve.... We did. We played Yatzee, watched NCIS and did puzzles. Pizza and Sprite for dinner. Noisy horns, two minutes late. Now I remember! We did have fun!

Saturday Adam and Stacey moved in and Janice, Joshie, Brianna, Braydon, Camden and I took the tree down. Turns out Jan and I mis-communicated about when to do it. She had suggested that we do it tonight. It was very likely my grey matter problem that caused us to take it down with so many helpers. Fun times!

Janice about knocked herself out trying to take ornaments off the tree and tend four kids. Only my snow globe got broken. No big deal, it was going to DI after this year, anyway, as it was losing water. (How does water get out of a snow globe, anyway? There is no opening for it to come out of.)

How do I thank Janice for once again putting the needs of someone else before her own? You are priceless, Honey! I pray for the Lord's choicest blessings to be upon you. And yes, thank you for being you.

I went to my 12 Step meeting today. I really choked up when it came my turn to share. I spoke about one of the addicts in my life and their bad choices. Then I talked of my own addiction and the struggle it is when I'm not abstinant. I got a handbook from Family Support and have spent the afternoon reading it. I've gotten to read about how co-dependant I am all over again *sigh*

It's good to be reminded that I am only responsible for myself and that God is in charge.

We watched some NCIS earlier on New Year's Eve too. I love that show :)

Thanks Mom, it was not really a big deal. The kids were so cute to help and it gave them something to do rather than be concerned about the move... It was such a nice day to be with you and the cute kids all day!
