Another day in the life......................

Well its Sunday , another day at work , another day of busting my ass for pennies! but hey its a job i guess! Dad Finally made it home From Saint John , he has a long road ahead for a recovery but i know hes gonna be just fine!! hes having a hard time eating, due to the pain and the fact that everything tastes like shit! i just cant wait til this time next year when we can all look back and see how far he has come!! my dad is the strongest man i have or will ever know in my life! not to much new other than that., im working right straight out this week , which will be hard but i just need to focus on the dollar signs!!lololol because lord knows we need it right now, im trying so hard to get into the Christmas sprit but im finding it very hard, once in a while when i will hear a christmas song i will get excited but it is short lived! i have very little shopping done! i guess this year will be the year for the true meaning of christmas for myself and my family, it wont be about how much we spend or how many gifts we all recieve, it will be about being gratefull for what and who we have with us and in our lives! i have always loved christmas and always loved shopping! but this year is different !! the only gift i want this year is for my Dad to be ok ! and to be with my family!! you know durning the last few months i have realized alot of things!! and the most important of them all for myself is realizing just how much a person takes for granted!! and realizing just how short life can possibly be!! and realizing that you should never hold back saying what you think or how you feel to the ones you love!! my dad tells me everyday how much he loves me!! and i tell him everyday too!! i tell my kids i love them all the time , you cant say it enough! i have been trying to teach myself to have restraint on becoming angry with family or friends for silly things , because you just never know !! you never know if the last thing you say to someone may be the last thing you say or the last thing they hear from you ! i have learnt to appreciate simple things in life, such as a simple thank you, or your welcome , or a card i recieved today from a person staying in a room i cleaned, the card read "Merry Christmas and thank you for looking after my room" signed by them with a $8 tip!! that made my day! i found myself smiling through out the day!! i notice i watch my children now when there doing just the simplest of things!! i love my kids! i love my mom and dad and my sister and my nephew!! and my husband and my brother -inlaw , i love my entire family!! and im so gratefull for the people in my life that take the time to just call and say hi!! i love my dearest friend Lesley! and oh how i miss her so much!! i feel like im missing a limb without her here during this time with dad! i may not have alot of friends, but the ones i have are the best ones!! and they mean the world to me!! ok so enough with the blabbin !! lolol i just want everyone to know that i love them!! and appreciate them~ hopefully i will get bit with the christmas spirit soon!! anyhow im off to bed!! work in the Am!
