Fun Christmas with the Family

Well there is such a thing as too much fun that you can not settle down afterwards. That is what has happened to me. Here it is almost midnight, I've tried to go to sleep twice, but my mind and body just won't slow down for the needed sleep. I had so much fun going on walks with my children, eating an incredible meal fixed by my mom, wife, and Ardath, trading presents with all the fam (my son, Aaron was the big winner, and nice necklace BC - we play the cutthroat gift exchange in our family). It was so great telling new stories and sharing old ones. I hope all of you had as much fun as we did, but I also hope that you were able to get to sleep. On the positive side, the house is getting cleaned with all my excess energy. My daughter, Tiffany, and my two son-in-laws are showing up in about 9 hours to help take the wall paper off the dining room and paint it a new uplifting color. For those that don't know, we have just put the house back up for sale. A 3,500 square foot house with five bedrooms is just getting to be too much for Kath and me. We don't even go in six of the rooms anymore. So we have been upgrading a few spots. Even if we don't sell it, it will look nice for us. I also think the lack of sleep has something to do with me being a little nervous about going back for the second round of chemo in two days. Send those positive thoughts my way and help me go through this session quickly. I will be thinking about all of you. Let's all start thinking about a great new year now! Also "Go Beavs and Go Ducks!"
