I thought a touch of fall would be nice.  So I animated a Mill Stream that I got in a Power Point Presentation.  Unfortunately, the size I wanted it, is too large for xanga.  I did not get to see or here from my sis this weekend.  But that could partially be because her grandson Johnny is back living with her.  It is very hard on her.  He has threatened some things, and it is very hard for her to sleep at night now.  I feel really bad for her, but either she took him back home, or he stayed in juvenile detention.  At this point. . . I am not sure which would be better.  But she does not want him staying in there.  So only other choice is with her, because his mom has made it clear, they can not get along, at all.  I finally managed to buy a present for my son.  So my son and daughter will each have a present under the tree.  It is going to be a very lean Christmas this year.  We have had others this lean, but at an age where the kids had no knowledge one day was different from the next.  Kids are being very good about this, and that is a good thing.  Just said, "mom, no worries."  That simple!  lol  Kids!  Who knew?  Ok all, just can not find much to talk about.  Pups are doing great!  Fat and sassy and no fighting for a nipple. lol  Having a bit of an eye problem, thus the easy animations, and the not visiting yet.  Will soon!  Have a great day and a wonderful tomorrow! ! !   Much love and many hugs! ! !   Sleep with the angels!

Hi folks!  Well I am in a better frame of mind today.  I did call IRS yesterday.  I got a very nice lady, who asked, after I explained my situation, if what I was wanting to do was reinstate my payment plan.  I told her yes, please!  She said not a problem.  I told her I would make my first payment of a double tomorrow.  She said no you won't,  just wait till January 19 and have it in here by that date, and we will be good to go.   Without missing a beat and with out a thought, I said out loud what I was thinking,  OMG the IRS has a heart after all!  She sort of giggled.  At the close of our conversation, I told her. . . Have a very Merry Christmas! ! !   She seemed surprised I even said that to her.  She made mine a little better, why would I not pass on the good cheer?  I mean paying the IRS is never a good thing, but it happens and it was an error I made on our taxes that put us there.  So it needed to be paid!  Period.  I guess. lol Christmas is still not going to be easy, but its not going to have me all ticked off as I would have been and upset because of all that.  So that is a good thing.  I want to thank you all for your comments on my last blog, they did help!  Have a great day and a wonderful tomorrow! ! !  Much love and many hugs! ! !   Sleep with the angels! ! !

Well I am not a happy camper today at all.  When hubby's truck was down last month for 2 weeks,  I had to buy him a really expensive part.  So virtually no bills got paid.  Well one of those was IRS.  Bet you are already seeing a problem.  I am about due to make a payment, which I intended to send a double payment.  Guess there is no need, because first paycheck in January they are taking the whole *%$** thing.  Well if I am lucky it will leave me with just barely enough to give hubby gas money to get to and from work.  No money for groceries or anything else.  So it is sort of like Merry #*$*%* Christmas to us!  I am going to try to call them tomorrow and explain that his truck is our lively hood, with out it he can not get to work.  It is over 150 miles round trip.  Not like it is walkable.  But we all know the IRS, if its money they owe you they can take forever, but if you owe them they want it now!  I am sorry but this is really upsetting.  I can not afford to really do any Christmas as the truck going down and buying all the parts, meant I had to rob peter to pay paul to get truck running.   So since then I have been catching them all up.  Still doing that too.  This is why I am not really in a Christmas mood.  But now the IRS on top of it all?  Its too much to bear, I didn't buy hardly any groceries last check because I was working on bills.  So we are low now, so low I am cooking my xtra turkey tomorrow, as nothing else is available!  At least that way there is some food till friday.  I am just really really upset and need to vent!  I am sorry, but this has always been my venting place!  There may be some animations in this blog, if there are you are welcome to them.  Thanks for listening to a stupid persons rant!  Have a great day and a wonderful tomorrow!  Sleep with the angels! ! ! !

Hi folks!  Well the long weekend is over.  My sis and her hubby came over and mentioned my tree in the middle of the living room.  Then went to work with us in getting it situated elsewhere.  Her hubby even vacuumed as we moved things. Said it was a real realistic tree, as it lost pine needles too. Lol  Now we can see the tv again.  Guess that is a good thing.  I usually just listen to it, but occasionally I turn or move and watch.  My hubby made biscuits and gravy for dinner.  Was real good and too filling.  Puppies are doing great!  With only 2 they should not have to fight over a nipple, guess that is a very good thing.  Should end up being very healthy. They are so cute!  My 7 month old puppies, Gypsy and Lady, are very intrigued.  Lady will lay outside the pen and whine.  Gypsy will look over and whine till we tell them no.  Then they will move away.  They both love to put their heads over the front of the pen and peek in.  Dad of course is real proud of himself.  I am not,  he ripped up carpet to get to her, when she was in heat, as we took turns locking them apart so this would not happen.  Yeah right! lol  I guess he has proved once again, where there is a will . . . there is a way!  Posted 2 more pictures, made them all a photo blog!  My nativity globe was a combined effort.  Tina made the base just for it, as I just did not have enough patience to do it, she did an awesome job!  Thank You, Tina ! ! !
