Well....Christmas 2008 goes down in the history books. I, for one, am kind of happy about it. All the hussle and bussle has left me tired and a little relieved. I am currently trying to download pictures, but it is taking forever. It didn't download...darnit! I am tring to do just one at a time...let's see if it works. Nope! It is not working. I will have to try again at another time.
The days before Christmas were full of family, Christmas parties, and BAKING! A whole bunch of baking. So much so, that I was so tired of looking at it, that I didn't want to eat it. Peyton enjoyed all the cooking because she would steal one from each batch. Talk about sugar high!
Peyton had a great time at Christmas! Christmas Eve we went to Steve's folks house for a nice dinner and gifts. Peyton made out like a bandit. I am going to wait until I can download pictures to tell the story. christmas morning we woke up, opened gifts and ate pull apart cake for breakfast. (kind of a tradition in the York house).
Ok...I am going to blog again when I can download pics. I want to put the pics with the Christmas events.
I'll try again tomorrow. Night

Merry Christmas!
This picture cracked me up. She was jus sitting there looking at this puzzle trying to figure out how the heck she was going to put it all together. Mind you, Steve sat there with her for like 2 hours one night putting this same puzzle together. But she just couldn't wait to tear it apart and put it all back in the box. uggh.
Midevil times was a good time. Peyton really enjoyed it. At first she said, "Mommy, I'm scared." And I just reassured her. She sat there intensly watching the show. She was so inthrawled with the whole thing. Our Knight kissed a flower and threw it right to her. It was so sweet. She just thought that was the greatest thing ever!
enjoy the pics. I am at work now, but am heading it home to do some baking and wrapping. Gotta get ready for Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Ya'll! I hope everyone is safe and has an enjoyable Christmas!

Ho Ho Ho
Wow! Merry Christmas, Ya'll. Only 2 more shopping days until Christmas (ANDI). For those of you procrastonators. geez. hehe I am done. I just have to get one more gift card, and that's it. Done..finished!
Peyton is just so excited she can hardly contain herself. She is so funny. I tell her how many days until Christmas and she is just jumping out of her skin. Christmas is going to be fun this year. She undertands it, she is so excited about it and will be just so happy to see all he presents under the tree. We did get her some cool stuff..she will LOVE. The problem is where to put it.
I have lots of pictures to post. But..I guess it will have to wait. I barely was able to get on and post a blog. My computer is running so slow that it isn't opening some web pages. It's either the computer or my network. Uggg....I just want things to work, and work now!
We have been so terribly busy. I really am just not sure how we are going to finish everything. I still have a bunch of baking to do and wrapping. I am not going to have time. I am on floor duty tomorrow,a nd I do have some work to do. I think I am going to go to the office for a little while and then come home and bake. Maybe tomorrow night Steve and I can wrap. We also need to clean our house. What a mess. It puts me in a bad mood. ha
But the season is almost done. We will all be back to normal soon.
Ok...this computer is acting up. I will write more tomorrow and post some pictures hopefully. This really irritates me. Computers are wonderful, but are a pain in the butt at the same time.
More tomorrow. Night

Kevin Middelton...that's who!
Ohhhhhh Kevin Middelton Harris is a man that is well on his way to getting his ass kicked!
So who is "The A Team"...That would be Kevin. He just LOVES to mess with us. He fessed up tonight. I can't believe him. He got us ALL worked up, that little bugger. Kevin..you are in for it. I don't know how, but I am going to get you back somehow and someway. Not just me, but I ask for all of those involved in any of Kevin's schemes to join me in the pursuit to "punk" Kevin.
Whatever..Ok..moving on from that. What gets me is, I went crazy for 2 days wondering who the hell "The A team was"!!! Ok...really...moving on now.
Just thought I would give you that peice of information!
It was a busy weekend. Friday night, Jim's Birthday. Sat. Ash's recital, Jessica's baby shower, and dinner at the Keg with friends. Now that was yummy! Today, just hung out at home and then went to Brittany Youth Orchestra concert. They are awesome. Hard to believe all of them are just teenagers. Unbelievable God given talent. Took Peyton too. Wow! That was fun. That child cannot sit still. But for being 3 and having to sit through an orchestra performance, she did good. I know that must be hard for kids to do. But I want to expose her to those things.
Coming up this week. Some work, another work xmas party, must start baking, finish shopping, Midevil Times Friday for Dad's and Syd's bdays, gift exchange with some friends on Sat. , Sunday is The White Family xmas, there's a Saginaw Band concert sometime this week....It promises to be VERY busy from here to Christmas. Taking one day at a time, and just going to go with the flow.
Ya'll have a good week!!!

Who is "The A Team"
So who is "The A Team" that posted that comment?
People...keep in mind...this is my blog...with my thoughts, happy things going on in our lives, sad things and annoyances. If you don't care to hear any and all of these things in all their glory then don't read it. I write what is on my mind whether it be good, bad or indifferent. And if you want to post something...I am game and like to hear what you have to say. It's easy to write things anonomously and say comments you don't have to take responsibility for. I don't write anonomously and take full responsibility for what I say.
With that being said. My comments on how busy times are around Christmas are completely accurate. I have a family that I care about, and take the time out to do the things with my family. Does it become overwhelming...absolutely! It can get maddening when you are a mother trying to enjoy the season with her 3 year old daughter, make sure you attend all your nieces events...because I love them too, attend all the parties of those important to me, and manage to work in between all of it. Do I vent about it...sure. Would I trade it for the world...NO! This is my family and we choose to participate in all it has to offer. When you are as close of a family as we are, it comes with its tribulations, disagreeances, and verbal abuse.
So again, I say...read it don't read it. But these are the facts and don't damned me for my words. Take them for what it's worth. Agree with them or don't. But Make it known that I love my family and don't think twice about all I have to do to participate as such a family. Holidays can be difficult for us all. Whether you are alone or as busy as we are.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

oopppss!
Goodness...I have really slacked. eek. Sorry. Honestly...I just haven't had much to say. There is a lot going on, but at the same time, there is nothing going on....if that makes any sense. I am not busy at work....Peyton is just being her usual silly self...Steve...same ol' same ol'. So like I said...not much of anything.
Details..ok. Peyton of course, first and foremost. She is just growing like a weed. I can't find pants to fit her. That is my main issue these days. ha If they fit her around the waste they are too long...Then there are some that are do fit around the waste, but keep falling down her butt and showing her buttcrack. She is constantly pulling up her pants. It is irritating. She really is just built weird. Honest...she is built just like Steve. Like really...just like him. Short wasted, no hips AT ALL, and all her weight is in her gut. Honest, I don't think she is fat. She is a little chubby, I think..well for sure, a little chubby. But that is not the reason pants won't fit. I think it's because they sit on her so low because of her waste, and thus are so long because of it. It's weird. Maybe I am just now noticing it because she wore dresses all summer...I don't know.
Yesterday....she told me on the way to school, "Mommy, I will miss you guys", and I said "when". She said, "while you guys are at work". I said, "Do you mean while you are at school?" She started crying! She said, "Yes. I will miss you guys while you are at work." I told her, as I always do, "Remember whenever Mommy drops you off somewhere I will always come and get you." She just cried. Broke my heart. She was fine by the time she got to school, but..geez....so guess what we did today. I stayed home with her. The girl knows my buttons. Guilt is one of them. ha What's funny is, this is a girl that begs to not leave Nana's house when I or Steve come to get her. She's done it at Andi's too. So I don't know. Unpredictable girl. ha
Work. Not a lot is going on. My team moved back into our old office. They had their own space within the Lake Country offices. So we moved back in because our Broker, in reaction to some conessions he made for our team, asked us to work from there more because it makes the office looks happenin' and busy, and that there are actually Realtors there. ha There are only a handful of us still. Then 2 of the ones that were pretty active had to get full time jobs...so they are never there either. So I have been working from the office most days. Works out well for us all to be there. We can feed off of each other more, and I learn by watching and observing and just paying attention to what others are doing. So that should help. Right now, though. It is soooo slow. Uggh. I complain about being so busy, and then complain about being bored. Why can't there be a happy medium. I do have a great lead on a $450k house! That one I am very hopeful about. Hopefully she will make a decision by the end of the week. But it's a short sale, so those are always time consuming.
Steve...well he came home not feeling well today. stuffy head, sneezing, achy. ikes. I hate when he is sick. When he told me on the phone that he was coming home early because he wasn't feeling well...I think I sounded put out. I just hate when he is sick. He is a miserable sick person. Not that I am any better, but I have to listen to the snorting, hacking and loogies. So anoying. I am not that bad. I just sleep and don't get out of bed until I am better. ha Otherwise...he is frustrated at his job. A lot of drama type stuff. He hates drama, and people that complain about working. Might be why he is sick...stressed out.
Otherwise. It is a busy month with "hey, come to this recital and that recital, and this party and that party, and don't forget that birthday party and open gifts with these friends and that family and oh yeah, christmas concerts...and on and on and on!" I am tellin' ya. Our family knows how to keep us busy. Uggh......Oh, and lets not forget the $110 adventure RC decided we all needed to do for Syd's and Dad's bday. Oy...Midevel times. Yes...I have wanted to go for a while...but never have because I didn't want to spend that kind of money on dinner. IN PARTICULAR right before Christmas when money is at its tightest. But...we are going, so I will find a way to pay for it. RC...we can do McDonalds too ya know. haha JK (RC will get bent out of shape on that comment....oh well..she's pretty good at calling out people on her blog too. hahahahaha again...kidding..sorta)
While I'm at it, why don't I call out........oh nevermind...I don't need more trouble. LOL Really...just kidding that time.
Got the company christmas party tomorrow afternoon, and have to get up early.
Life is good...life is movin' way too fast..."roll on..roll on rollercoaster. We're One day older..and one day closer." Kid Rock song...have it stuck in my head.
Night folks
