December? Already?

It has been a long time since I have had time to sit down and write, but today seemed like the right time to start up again. This is mainly because I am sitting here after making Christmas goodies with Alyssa and putting to much peanut butter in the second attempt at something called tiger butter. Don't ask about the first batch I will leave Alyssa out of that one. Life has given this family alot of ups and downs in the last few months. I used to think it was more downs than ups but in the big picture I think they even each other out. I know God uses trials in life to make us stronger, but who will I be in the end? Super Woman, Super Mom, Amazon Tammy, tick me off and I'll kick you off? I don't know and don't care as long as God is happy with me in the end. 
Christmas is only 3 days away. Wow it has happened so fast this year I'm not quite ready for it. Anna is the newest furry addition to the house. Maybe I should say she is the newest furry remodel to the house. No matter where she goes disaster usually follows. I can't wait to have her trained in the way a dog should act at home. 
I thought of posting a poem that would set the mood for this month. Think I'll give it a try.


The calendar said December,
The weather said May.
Both lawnmowers were broken, 
That blew my day.
Someone said Christmas was coming,
I thought already? To soon.
Went shopping with Jeffery,
The wrong thing to do. 
The presents were bought,
The closet was full,
I really hate wrapping,
Now what do I do?
Of course add a huge dog to the mix,
If we all get lucky she won't eat St. Nick.
There were no sugar plums to dream of at night,
To look at the kitchen just gives me a fright.
Finally at last I just gave in,
Wrapped all the presents,
Forgot to add name tags,
Made goodies to die for,
I hope that's a gag. 
When Santa arrives,
The whole family we'll see,
We'll sit down for dinner,
And smile with glee.
We'll give God our thanks,
For another year with each other,
It will last for a moment until Alyssa fights with brother.
The dishes will pile high in the sink,
I'll go and hide and wish I could drink.
A new year will come,
Another year will have passed,
I hope you all have one better than the last.
When times get tough just remember this year,
The Mayans were wrong,
Whoopie!!!! We're still here. 


Merry Christmas!

Not my best but I guess it will do,
If your a critic then poo on you.
