Hello everyone. I hope the day is finding good in health and prosperity. Life in the Pocono Mountains is good. Today it decided to snow an inch or so. But tomorrow it's going to be 50 degrees, go figure.I guess we cant ask for everything.
Very excited to have the holidays coming to an end. I love Christmas. This is the first time in a long time that I bought everything that I wanted to. With the exception of a few items here and there. I think I counted 5 to be exact. But very close... I spoiled my grandkids of course and this year added a little something for my grown kids and my husband.. God was on my side the whole year... I have had a tough year but kept my faith up and overcame a long long year.. . So glad to see it go.
All I want for Christmas is an 80 in flat screen.... I will wait all year and want nothing else... I told my family no presents just gift cards from best buy, even if they are just 5 dollars...It is so beautiful...
Hope you get all your heart desires and just remember what the holiday is really about.Jesus Christ...
Living life with God on my side and the challenges of today.....

Congratulations is at hand......
Hello everyone and hope all of you is well. I am great thanks to my all mighty father up above that takes care of me.I have had a couple of rough days, but I'm ok now. Thank the Lord....
I am so sorry that I have not kept up with my blog. Its been very crazy for me. But, I'll do my best to try to keep up.
I have to report today my friend got engaged...I am happy for her but concern too... You see a few months ago she was having some problems with this man. However she is in love and this is easy to see..I hope that all works out for her because she deserves it. I am her friend so I wish her much happiness....
Well to move on, I watch yesterday the movie " The Help" ... I was very excited to see this. However it was not what I expected... I think this film should have had opinions of real women in that era and time. I think that they will find the times being much harder and people more cruel. It's a nice story.
I have done most of my christmas shopping. I am not done yet but, almost finish fully. My tree is up and my presents are under the tree so I am just really waiting for the dinner, now....Pick up my youngest daughter's Michelle's gift. I got her a Android tablet with colormultimedia capabilities. It's nice.

This Day is finally over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi everyone. Hope you have had a great day. I have to thank my heavenly father for allowing me to have this day. It's sad that all I have is complaints.
As I had specified before I am in retail. Retail is hell during the holidays.... Specially the Christmas one. The sales back to back and the early openings of stores... Today my company had a big preview day sale.We open at 8. I had these sweaters that went on sale for 11.99. Now usually I have a hard time selling items because I am a lease department in a big retail store and my company does not accept coupons. So when we put a sweater for 11.99 you can only imagine what a crazy day it is going to be.Our sweaters normally are in the price range of 59-109 just to give you and idea of what a great sale we ran today. Within the hour of the opening for business we sold about 115 of these sweaters... by 1pm I was sold out of about 600 sweaters. You can begin to imagine what a mess my boutique shop looked like.. I have never been so exhausted.. I have been so sick.. Since Thanksgiving.. I just have been going and going and going....My body just shut down on me and I ended up getting real sick. Felt like the flu. Instead I have a respiratory infection. It's like the beginning of bronchitis , but past a cold.... Two days of antibiotics and I feel great until the rain came to our town... I have arthritis ... Ouchhhhh... Need my arms and hands for work... So like I had said before, Lord I am greatful for the day but, I'm full of complaints...I live in the Pocono Mountains n Pa... Right about now the temp. is like 20 and snow, snow, snow... instead its 60 degrees and humid and rain so my arthritis is in overdrive... Im so sorry I should be feeling more festive... On a brighter note, my grandaughter is doing much better. She was diagnose last week with phenomonia... You can imagine how horrible I felt. I love my grandkids like if they were my own. I sometimes feel like we end up loving them more.... I came home after being so tired and was looking foward to just sleeping and my baby was here... I mean my grandbaby... Did I mention that my other grandaughter Kamari is now 5 years old and I was told by my daughter that I am going to be yet another grandma again and this time I am having a grandson... Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....yeahhhhhhhhhhhh
Thank you for listening to me and letting me vent without being critizize....

Late Happy Birthday Wish............
Lord I want to thank you for the years that you allow us to have and celebrate with each other... As the time comes for us to celebrate the day that Jesus was born we want to thank you for all that you have given us...
Happy Holidays
Hello everyone and I hope that all your days were full of love and prosperity....Happy late Thanksgiving.
I hope it was a blessed one next to your family.. As for mine. It was spent with my mother-in-law and my three nephews and my eldest grandbaby that came up from Virginia... My three children and my youngest grandchild. I truly was very blessed. Later that evening at around 7 pm I had to drive my husband to work cause as you may already know , black friday started at 10 that evening for some stores......As you may remember we are a retail family...
Later that evening as if it could have gotten any worst, my granddaughter that was visiting for the Holidays had to go to the hospital. She had bronchitis. An hour after getting home, off to work I went. It was a pretty long week...
All in all I had a pretty good Holiday.....
