Amy from Involuntary Smiles has won that cute little Snowman

I’m a winner too thanks to all of your thoughtful words and encouragement, coupled with an awesome girls night out at Starbucks followed by late night shopping at Walmart as well as a family and friend filled weekend.

My Aunt Jan was in town and the kids had a blast spending time with her. So did I

The kids enjoying the snowfall on Sunday!

I’m a happy camper again!

Which is a huge blessing because Christmas is right around the corner and between babysitting, kid school Christmas parties and getting ready for our trip to PA I have no time to be dragged down into the depths of depression right now.

You know that feeling when you have so much emotion coursing through every part of your body?

Where you feel like you just might implode if it doesn’t find a way out?

All the sadness, frustration and anger’s only way to escape is through a flood of tears.

And words just don’t seem to be able to describe why you are feeling this way.

You just know that you are and that it sucks.

And you feel emotionally derailed and mute.

Yeah.

That’s me in a nutshell at this very moment.

I did make this little Amigurumi Snowman today.

Earlier when I was happy.

You want it?

You can have it.

Leave a comment and I’ll pick one randomly on Monday Dec. 13th and ship it out to you once I get your info.

That means you should receive it before Christmas.

Fun.

Exciting.

Who doesn’t like receiving gifts in the mail.

Think of it as my Christmas present to you.

You follow me you get a chance to get that cute snowman.

Maybe say a little prayer for me while you’re commenting.

I need it.

Peace out.

We were blessed with free tickets to the Flyers @ Blue Jackets hockey game on Monday.

Six rows from the glass  to the left of the net.

Sweet seats!

The Blue Jackets were beating the Flyers, who were not playing well…. at all.

I prayed fervently that they would just score at least one goal.

I didn’t even care if they won.

I just wanted one goal so that the kids could cheer for their team, especially Alex.

My prayer was answered.

And they showed us celebrating…. on TV!

Here is the screen shot:

Here is the YouTube video:

We are shown at 2:39 into the video.

How cool is that?

I just wish Katie had been tall enough and not behind Brianna to be seen too.

And a couple more pictures from the night:

Brian showing Alex the Flyers warming up.

I wish I had a picture of Alex standing at the glass, he was the perfect height to see and he was grinning ear to ear.

Alas, my phone battery was all but dead.

Not really sure what happened to the picture quality or why I’m making that crazy smile face.

The Flyers played the Sabres on Tuesday and won 6-3.

Why couldn’t they have done that Monday?!

On Monday Brian told us we were going to get a surprise after dinner. The kids guessed ice cream. They were right!
