As I sit watching Charlie Brown with my sons, I also am waiting for the Powerball drawing.  Yes, I went in with a small bunch of people at work.  We’re hoping since one of them never played the lottery before we’ll have some beginner’s luck.  Plus younger son’s teacher said he was very lucky today and suggested he play the lottery.  Welp, got that covered…just waiting for the numbers.

Charlie Brown is being the Charlie Browniest and the fudge I made is cooling.  It’s a relaxing evening.  I like those types of evenings.  I am very settled into holiday mode.  Accomplishments so far include gaining those initial five or six pounds, you know the ones that will never go away.  I’ve baked a few batches of cookies, made the first batch of fudge tonight, and already found a few presents for the boys.  House is mostly decorated.  Advent skit for church is written and the children have had two practices already.

I also discovered that Liam Neeson wants to be my nephew which means I now get to be Liam Neeson’s aunt.  I keep meaning to read the books, but never seem to get to them.  Perhaps there’s a gift idea in that!  Hubby could get me A Walk Among the Tombstones to start.  I never saw 8 Million Ways to Die but I do enjoy Jeff Bridges so I’ll have to give it a watch. 

It’s been a busy week at home but it’s quieting down a bit at work so there’s a nice change of pace.  I’m really tired though and keep falling asleep before I finish stuff at night.  I suppose I should simply listen to my body and go to sleep earlier.  There’s always tomorrow.  (I hope I didn’t miss Rudolph!)

The time passes too quickly.  I’m going to embrace the moments of Charlie Brown, Powerball drawings, and fudge.  I’ll remember the little things matter more and cherish the little moments and the big dreams.  And now, back to cuddling with my sons.
