Christmas vacation

Well, Christmas is pretty much over. All that remains is the Visa bill, the wrapping paper, and the calories! We ate way too much, at least I did, no wonder everyone's favorite resolution for New Years is to lose weight. Maybe I'll do Weight Watchers again. I had lost 20 pounds through Weight Watchers, but I put it all back on over the last two years, and then some.
The kids are going stir crazy. I think I need to force them to spend time outside playing in the snow. How sad is that!? Obviously, we have too much stuff. Sometimes I think we just need to disconnect from computers, tv, video games, etc., and re-connect with each other. I wonder if we could go a week without all the electronics...I should try it with my family. (To be truthful, I don't know if I could do it. What with having an online store...www.cafepress.com/creativethought. I mean, I do need to check on it.)
Maybe I'll try it. Maybe we should try the first week of January to go tv, video game free for a week...hmmm. I'll definately think about it and let you know how it goes.
My hope for the holidays is that there would be peace in the world. I know, it sounds corny, but seriously, the world is such a messed up place. I get stressed just thinking about it. I realize how lucky I am to live in the United States of America, and I know I am truly blessed, not with material things, but with freedoms that so many people take for granted. I just wish the world would evolve and we could all just get along. Wasn't that a song?

Sunday Mornings

Sunday mornings are the best! To wake up to a fresh blanket of snow, and look out over the back field behind our house, watching the occasional squirrel run along our white wooden fence, and the little bird house with about 2 inches of snow piled on top...and we are safe inside. Warm, cozy, together with a family I love, makes me realize how lucky I am, how much I have to be thankful for. I don't know if it's the holidays getting closer, or the fresh snow, or my husband making me breakfast, or my son giggling, but somehow things just seem very precious on a Sunday morning. Maybe because we don't get that many of these days together. It is wonderful!

Don't forget to check out my online store, I've got lots of great stocking stuffers!

MySpace

So, I suppose I should put a link to my MySpace page here...
http://www.myspace.com/creativethoughtmom


Can't seem to get the link to show up...not sure why, check it out, though
myspace.com/creativethoughtmom


I'm pretty new at the MySpace thing and it's hard to figure everything out (cause I'm old?), but it seems pretty cool. I wish I had more time to figure everything in the world out. I guess we all probably feel that way about a lot of things. And we all get the same amount of hours in a day..
So I should remember to do my best and be happy with all the time I've been given. None of us is promised a tomorrow.

On a lighter note, here's a new design I've sold a few of...
