Back ache, paper cuts on every finger, hunchback, tired, stiff neck, sore tailbone. That is what will happen when you offer to do a envelope stuffing job for your mom! :) i think I need some serious physical therapy. After 25.5 hours of stuffing envelopes and putting address stickers on almost 4000 envelopes, I couldnt be more of a wreck. I must be aging quickly cause i am a mess! I was up til 1 am doing it and then again at 6:30 this morning, so needless to say im going on little sleep and sore fingers. But its money so Ill stop complaining now.

Thanksgiving is on Thursday- Mmmmm. I am trying to decide what to make. I get excited to see everyone but through the years the holidays have gotten sad as well as exciting. My dear sweet gma on my dads side cannot remember a thing, my gpa is always sick with something and in pain, my gpa and uncle dont talk, cousins who have lost touch....its always something. the food is always good and its always great to catch up, but the older I get the more i understand that its not always the happy go lucky get together that i remembered as a child. It is sad. But I am thankful beyond belief for my family- as crazy and disfunctional as we all may be. I am blessed to be able to have my grandparents around for the holidays and I will cherish the get togethers forever. What are you r holiday plans?
