One week later



     Well, I'm doing better.  The DI  (give away) pile is growing in the garage and I'm doing some deep cleaning  which always makes me feel clean inside as well. Weston and I even put up the Christmas decorations which mainly consist of ones that the kids have grown accustomed to seeing year after year and yelp at the thought of tossing them.  I'm the first to admit that I'm no Martha Stewart or Margrett or Margo.  It's strange to think that Christmas is so close because I haven't made a single purchase nor feel the rush to do so.  There's a section of time that is missing in the chronological events of the year.  So it doesn't seem possible that we are up to Christmas when we never had Halloween.
    It's Madison's 17th birthday tomorrow so if you are reading, Madison, a huge happy birthday to you.  We'll be thinking about you all day. But that's not unusual because we think about you all the time anyways.
