• My saintly daughter

  Rob pitched in this morning wrapping a couple pressy’s and I wrapped the rest of the kiddos, so that we could then tackle the kids pressys.  Christmas at our house is about giving, so each child has a gift for each member of the family.  They are bought at the dollar store, but they were purchased with thought, and care.  Anyhow that was next on the list wrapping all of those.  Plus wrapping the gifts for the Christmas exchange my extended family does.  I called Zeria in and helped her wrap the gift for the name she drew, and realized she was quite capable of wrapping on her own.  I left her in my bedroom and she wrapped the rest of hers by herself.

  I then helped Samuel with his, and half way through helping Kaylin my back just gave up.   It occured to me that Zeria would probably be able to help Kaylin, so I called her and she was quite willing.   Rainee kept asking when it was her turn to wrap, and I told her she’d have to wait until tomorrow ’til daddy could help, and Zeria came out and said.  “I’ll help her.”

  She got all of the kids pressys wrapped by the time she was done.   The gifts for “my” family, and for this family.   It took her almost two hours, of helping the little ones.  

  She didn’t do Jer’s–daddy wants that honor.  *sniggers*    Anyhow I’m sooooooo greatful that much of the burden is gone.

  I have umm 4 gifts left to wrap is all, and Rob actually likes wrapping them, so I’ll probably sick him on them tomorrow.   Its all looking good.  Now if my back didn’t throb…
