Friday Letters


my pretty girl

Dear Children, I'm sorry I'm not so festive this year. Christmas just kind of snuck up on me. Dear Temple Lights, you are so crowded. But I love to walk around and see all the beautiful lights, this year I think the purple trees were my favorite. Taking six kids makes it kind of tricky though. Dear Temple Performance, Hailey sang in a choir for Jenee Prince, Jenee has such an amazing voice I love it. I did notice that my kid was the only one that looked ADHD up there, she couldn't hold still if her life depended on it. During the tonight you are mine song, I don't know the real title, Kade tackled me with a big hug and said he loved me. As soon as that song was over he stuck grass down his shirt pretending ants were getting him and wrestling his cousin. The video should be interesting or awful which ever. Dear Christmas Tree, I finally decorated you. It was depressing I just can't seem to feel festive this year. Dear Winter Sing, I was dreading you, but you turned out to be great. The kids were so cute singing all of the Christmas songs. It ran late because an older woman collapsed having a heart attack or something and an ambulance came and got her. That was a weird start to the Christmas program. Makes you grateful for health. Dear Dentist, I've kept you busy this week trying to get my teeth in good shape. Now I'm trying to recover. I hate root canals. Dear Sis, thanks for babysitting so early in the morning, the girls had fun playing at your house. Dear Life, I just want to hit the pause button and take a break for a minute. Too bad there is no such thing. Dear Self, sometimes I feel really alone and it seems like the people who are past this part of life don't remember how hard this part of my life is right now. Feeling so alone makes me wish I could just be alone, away from everyone. In a way it is a good reminder that the Lord is the only one who can truly know my heart and the only one who can truly comfort me.
