HANUKAH IS OVER-ok

I can’t believe Hanukah is over for another year. The days and weeks and years just fly by. I knew that Hanukah finished on Sunday but I forgot that today is Sunday so only lit seven candles when I should have lit eight. Oh well! I am going to leave all the decorations up until next weekend. They are too pretty to take down. Besides Tuesday morning we are going on a short trip for New Years. We leave Tuesday morning and return Thursday afternoon. We are going by bus with a group of seniors. It should be fun. We are going to see SINGING IN THE RAIN.

This morning I slept. I don’t know why but when we stay home I often fall asleep watching TV. I thought we would go to the pool but instead hubby suggested going to Sam’s and BJS so we did. We came back too late to go to the pool so of course I sat down on the couch and slept again. I don’t know why I don’t work on any of my hobbies. Hopefully when I get back I’ll be more ambitious.

Tonight we went to a show. Marty Brill. He was so funny!!!! Then we met some friends and went to Cracker Barrel for coffee. They didn’t have any sugar free pie so I just had toast. Some had ice cream and others had nothing.

Everything is going well. I am so grateful to be in Florida for the winter. I just wish I didn’t have pain. I think it’s arthritis as it’s been quite humid.

Tomorrow I plan to do some shopping. I want to buy some shelves for my grandson. I hope Michael will have them. I also have to mail some things to my grandson.  I am concerned that my son’s girlfriend’s kids are going to feel left out or jealous as I am not sending as much to them. I thought I would mail his stuff to his mother’s house but I know the kids spend a lot of time together and will talk. I’m not sure what to do. I certainly can’t and don’t want to even try making things equal.

So I guess I will read some of your entries and then try to get some sleep.

I told the boys a long time ago that I wasn’t going to spin my wheels trying to make everything come out even. Kids need to know that it IS the thought, NOT the gift, that counts. Also, I think the g/f’s kids will get big gifts from their own grandparents. If it is a problem, your son will let you know. Don’t worry too much over it. Kids don’t hold onto things like that.
