Salem is off in Florida visiting with my Dad and his wife for the week. I miss her terribly but am mindful that she sees them infrequently; not nearly as much as her dad's folks as they live here. Her Poppie and Mamae are delighted to share time alone with her and I believe it's good for a little girl to enjoy some days away from the people she spends all her waking hours with. It's good for perspective; even if that perspective is in the mind of a 5 year old.
I also wanted to extend my well wishes to my friends, family, and gentle readers this holiday season. I truly hope you all have a fantastic time doing whatever it is you do during the holidays.
Me? Well, I like to give gifts, make things, decorate my tacky tree, worry about what food I'm serving, stress out about wrapping presents, obsessively clean, and I'll spend much time in an automobile traveling to and from my house and my family's house in FL. I'm sure I won't disappoint.
When I am reunited with my little girl on Christmas Eve all the worries, stresses, and bs of the holidays will melt away. She's all the Christmas I'll ever need.

Talk to me...I love it when strange people give me advice on parenting.
