The Holidays are over......

I was more than ready for the Christmas season to end. This year was really nice because I got to spend it with my Mom and my brother. It's been ten years since that has happened !

We had a great time being all together... but at the same time it was a very hard Christmas. The first one without my Dad. I tried to make this year special and comforting for my Mom, I know she had a hard time... I think it helped her being with all of us this year. My Dad was not one for family events, and they never came south for Christmas. If we wanted to see them we had to go there. So... we only spent one Christmas out of the last six with them. My brother lives in FLorida, and can't make it here because of finances. But... I have seen him more in the past six months than I have in the past ten years !! This was the third time since August. I miss my brother and I am glad to see he is finally getting his life together . He has a great girlfriend, and a job he loves. It hasn't always been that way though, his ex wife has kept his three children from him for the past eight years. We aren't " allowed " to see them either. I have two neices and one nephew I haven't seen in ten years. His ex wife is a bitch.. plain and simple. She used to beg him to come see the kids just to set him up.. and when he would get there she would provoke a fight then call the police. She even broke into my parents house ( my brother was living in the attached apartment at the time ). I don't understand why the police weren't called... I can't figure out my parents sometimes. Anyway.... his life is now on track and I don't mind spending time with him. He got his Captains license so he stopped doing drugs... and thats a great thing !!

My husband and I had a very nice Christmas... as did our son. I think it was one of the best Christmas's we have spent together. It was very tiring for me, playing host, but well worth the effort !

I think our marriage is also back on track... at least I hope so. I am doing everything I can to ease my husbands load at home since he is working this second job. We are paying off the bills slowly, so I hope he doesnt have to do this much longer. We miss him terribly at home. He just applied to the local radio station ... a job he used to have and loved... he didn't think they would call him back after recieving his resume... but they did !! I pray that something comes out of it and he can quit the gas station job for a job he loves in addition to his engineering job during the day. He misses being on the radio more then he says... but I know.. just by the way he talks about it and the tone of his voice. He has a great voice for radio... actually.. the first time I talked to him on the phone , I was instantly attracted to his voice ! It is soooooooooooo sexy !!!!! He has a wonderful personality... full of life and humor. If they will just give him the chance to get back into radio I KNOW he will do well !! It's just getting in the door that is so hard.
Everything happens for a reason,... so maybe this is his chance. I will continue to pray for that....

Okay... it's time for me to move beds arouns upstairs and do the MOM thing.... I will keep everyone ( LOL>.. like anyone reads this blog ) updated....
