Hope you had a nice Christmas. We had a quiet day, with a few nice gifts and lots of good food. I appreciated the quiet part – I don’t really like a lot of noise and swarms of people. It is much nicer to have a few good people close by your side.

Moving her to Tennessee was the best thing I ever did and it’s mostly just because I love this house. Being a stay at home mom was never in the cards for me since I’m also a single mom so having a home that my daughter can grow up in even if it is with a nanny makes me feel good at the end of the day. I’ve got her a great little room with a nice set of windows (painted pink, of course) and I even looked into ADT security TN for her feeling of safety and for mine. I love being the mom but sometimes it’s a lot of responsibility wondering if she’s doing well and adjusting okay and I also feel guilty at times about working so much but I know that everything I do is to make her life and mine better at the end of the day. I hope she appreciates that but I’m pretty sure she does. Who could blame me for making a better life for us?

This morning I went down stairs to the basement where I have my large freezer jam packed with frozen food, only to find that some how the door was not closed all the way, for god knows how long, and every piece of frozen food had gone bad. I had probably over $1000 worth of food, mainly meats, stored in there. What a bad way to start the week out and what a mess I have to look forward to cleaning up.
I just might call in some professionals, what with Christmas in less than two weeks I really have my hands full. I may have to go online and look for a place that can use activated charcoal for odor removal if the odor is too bad for me to stomach. I’ve used http://www.thesteamteam.com/austin-cleaning-services/ in the past and have been happy with them and what they have done for me in my previous times of need through out the years of home ownership. There is never a good thing for something like to happen but there certainly are worse times and right now is a pretty bad time, argg…

One of my favorite songs from long ago is “Stand By Me.” I just love the idea of having someone in your life so loyal to you that they would be by your side – no matter what.
Then a movie came out with that title. It was a really good movie – very well written and totally believable dialogue and story line. Haven’t seen that movie in a very long time, so I thought it would be fun to pop it in the DVD player and watch it while doing laundry and some general housework.
Was looking through some old photos with my daughter today that I found in a box in my closet while stashing some Christmas gifts away where the kids can’t get their paws on them. These particular pictures were of my parents summer home on the water, back when they still had the log cabin on the property. I loved that old log cabin with all of it’s lodge furniture in it and the screened in porch that wrapped all the way around 3 sides of it. My father had us all convinced that Daniel Boone had built that log cabin. I remember how my heart was broken when I later learned that he had just made that up.
