Thank God for the Weekend!

What a crazy, messed up week this has been!! It all started on Monday morning when two of co-workers/closest friends were laid off. We all had a feeling something was coming, but we just didn't know who it would be. You see, I work for the local Home Builders Association, so the idea that our membership numbers have dropped and our budget is skinnier than Lindsey Lohan at her finest comes at no surprise. However, it still sucks. The sinking economy has hit too close to home this time. I'm grateful that I still have my job, but my heart aches for my friends.

I'm so glad it's finally Saturday and I can spend the day with my boy. I'm going to forget about all of the craziness at the office and remember what is most important. God, family and friends. You have no idea how many times I've had to remind myself of this simple fact this week.

J.K. and I are getting ready to go have breakfast with the big guy in the red suit! I don't think I've had breakfast with Santa since I was 6 years old, so this should be fun. Then were off to visit with him again at the Bass Pro Shop. Yes, we're from the South, but it wasn't my idea. I wanted to go to the mall, but I've been overruled. Besides, the kid has already visited with Santa at the BPS, because his Daddy took him WITHOUT ME!! Luckily he's too young to realize that we're doing this again for Mommy's benefit. I'll post pictures later on.

Here's to a good weekend and a better week on Monday!
