Our trip to the North Pole

Someone has to lose.

It’s been a busy few weeks. I can’t even remember all of the things that I have done in the past couple of weeks but I will say that Thanksgiving was very nice and I was out with all the crazy Black Friday shoppers the day after Thanksgiving. I don’t think I got any great buys but this has become somewhat of a tradition with my oldest daughter, my sister and me. My mom used to come with us too but now she lives in Florida. She did go shopping too; at 4am the only difference was there were no long lines and it was about 73 degrees. We kept in contact with her throughout the day and it made us feel like she was at least with us on the cell for a while. We missed her.

Last night I went to a high school football game and I had a blast. The most fun I’ve had in a while. My youngest daughter is dating a boy on the team so we went to show our support. It was a great game. They won the division championship and Saturday they will play in the “Super bowl”. So we will be off to another game this weekend.

It was so hard to see the other team after the game. I know that someone has to lose and that is part of the game but those young men played hard and it was such a good (and close) game. It could have easily gone either way. They left with tears in their eyes and some of them were outright crying. My heart went out to them.

Tomorrow I am going to the North Pole. You may think that is a weird place to be going but you must remember that Christmas is right around the corner. Can you think of a better place to go in December? I wrote about this trip a few posts ago. You will have to read all about it there. I will take pictures and let you all know how the train ride to the North Pole is.

This weekend we are going to the football game on Saturday and to the cape for a college tour on Sunday morning and then back home for youngest daughters first ever basketball game. We will have a fun filled and busy weekend.

My anxiety issues are beginning to rear their ugly heads again. I’m not sure why either. I hate feeling like this. The meds don’t seem to be working like they used to maybe I need to talk to the doctor about that soon.

Today I booked a flight to Florida for the end of January. I am going to visit my parents and a friend of mine from Virginia is going to fly down also and meet me there for a few days. I am excited about that trip. Hopefully it will be warm enough to spend a few days on the beach.

I have to get back to crocheting hats. It’s a long story and I’ll fill you in soon.
