JUST 4 MORE DAYS , THANK YOU.......

Just 4 more days and JB comes home. I'm looking forwarded to seeing him and spending time with him plus getting to know the man that he has become. It's sad for I know now that my little boy is gone and a man has taken his place. I know that he has been sick and had to take several bags of iv but is better. WHEW. It broke my heart when I heard that he went through that and I couldn't be there with him. I believe he had severe cold and swollen throat. Yesterday was a beautiful day. The sunny was shinning and even though it was a little breezy still very beautiful. We had a barrel race and I ended with 5th in the 2d class. Which was something for us for that meant we had picked up time and moved up a class. Sam, my neice, rode my mare in the youth and also ran her in poles. She done real good. She informed me that I lost my ride. She was taken over. I told her that she could run her anytime that she wanted just dont beat my time on her. This morning we have overcast skies and a nip in the air. Just one of them days to stay in the house and catch up on housework and washing. Maybe I'll have time to work on some of my projects that I need to get done for as we all know Christmas is just right around the corner. Personally, I think some of the spirit has gone from Christmas. It seems that it is all about the presents that ones gives or recieves. Everyone is talking about how much they are going to spend and what kind of big gift they are getting or buying. Why do people dwell on materalistic things? Why have we gotten to where we think that we have to go broke buying? Are we just trying to show off to other people? It seems that we live in a time of I want, and I get, no matter if the bills don't get paid or anything. Why do we let the tv and magazines influence our lives? So what if we don't have a flat screen tv? Or the latest new ipod?
