Hi everyone,

I know I haven't been around much, still haven't bought the internet device.  I'm not sure that I will soon either, because I am starting on the Christmas list for the kids already.  This year I am going to buy them their own hand held video games.  I know that it sounds extravagant but I think that it will solve a lot of fighting over the one I picked up for 5 dollars at a garage sale.  The one I am looking at has a video camera on it and has a lot of educational games to buy.  I'm also looking at getting them their own Ipods too.  The boys have a lot of problems with over sensitivities to sounds, so the Ipod might be a good idea in those kind of situations.  That is about it though, the rest will be the boring stuff that mom's give their kids, like clothes and underwear.  

I wish that I could say that I have exercising every day, but I have been more like working everyday.  Only three pay periods until christmas, and the push is on to make enough money to pay for what I want to give them, and everything else.  I have a terrible cold sore on my face.  I feel like a total freak at work.  On Friday I must have had 3 or 4 people tell me that I had something on my face, one nurse thought I had jello on my face.  One time I was facing the wall charting on one of my pt. and my favorite doctor walked up behind me to say hi, I turned around and he jumped back and said " oh my, what do you have on your face!"  warmed my heart, that's exactly what you want someone to say to you when all day you are trying to convince yourself that it isn't that noticeable.  Oh well, what can I do, it's there and I have to go on living.  It's healing and eventually will go away.  I haven't weighed myself in awhile, I'm sure that it isn't good.  Halloween didn't go well for me.  I have to work Thanksgiving so I might dodge the overeating there.  Because we are vegetarians Thanksgiving doesn't include turkey and the other junk that goes with it.  I usually have a theme dinner, last year we did Mexican.  I think this year we will do Lasagna with all the trimmings, like garlic bread, a big salad, and Italian ice cream.  I probably won't be there for it, but it is something I can make ahead and have my husband finish for the kids.  It sucks to work on Thanksgiving, but the trade off is that I will get Christmas off, so I'm not that sad about it.  I would much rather be home on Christmas morning.  

Well we bought a car, it's not pretty but it is paid for.  It gets me to work and that is all that matters.  It has been used and abused by someone else before us, so I don't mind the kids getting rowdy in the back seat.  What will happen if I ever own something that is new.  The kids will probably be out of the house by then.  

At work, in my office, I have internet access, but I can't make an entry, the restraints the computer gods have put on it prevent me from doing it, so I am able to read other entries and what is going on in the forums.  So I am following along.  I will try to get on more often.  But until then.  Take care everyone.  Wash your hands and stay healthy!
