since I am getting scolded about updating I guess maybe I better try and get this thing done. It seems that I am never at home and I just can't find the time to be on the computer like I did before. So to all my readers I apologize. Maybe I will get better, no probably not.

Where do I start. Mom is at home and doing a little better. She still has a long way to go. The doctor told her it was going to be a slow come back and they were right. She is getting around better and she is talking more. She finally pulled out of some of the depression which has really helped her. She went to the doctor yesterday to discuss all the medicines she was on and they took her off some of them and changed some of them so we are hoping that will held with some of the things that she is going through. I as planning on going back up in a couple of weeks.

I had surgery on my thumb yesterday and things went well. I was back at work today. It was a little hard but I managed to make it through the day. The hardest thing is changing diapers and picking them up. You don't realize how much you use your thumb until you can't.

All the kids are doing good. Just staying busy with the holidays coming up. I spent Thanksgiving with Christy, Chad and the boys. The boys and I cooked while Chad and Christy worked. We are a late dinner.

The day after Thanksgiving Christy and I hit the stores and shopped. I had to go to work at 12 and she had to be home by 11 but we had a good time. She managed to get most of the boys Christmas finished and I did to. I also bought for myself. I bought me a new camera and a new television. It was nice just spending the morning together without children.

I am planning on trying to get the rest of my shopping done this weekend. It makes it hard because I am buying for Mom and Alan also. So I ma having to keep it all separate. They decided to let me do it since I like to shop. It is more fun spending their money.

Well, I am going to go for now and I will try to update more often. Have a great weekend....
