Friday Fill-Ins

1. Wait, wait - I need time to process that Sam is almost 6 months old already.


2. The way I view some things is a little different.


3. In addition, many people don't get that.


4. Immediately (I wish) is the way we do it here!


5. At the end of the year, I like to hope for a better next year.


6. Becoming a better person is one of the things I'm looking forward to in 2012.


7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a quiet evening, tomorrow my plans include watching the ball drop and enjoying a toast with my hubby and Sunday, I want to eat a bit of cabbage without Sam having major gas!

Perhaps not peace, but endurance

"'There is no peace on Earth,' I said."
At least, there's none inside my head.
There's not time for the cry that threatens, though.
I must push it back,
for there's things to do:
others' tears to dry,
and squabbles to settle.
Meals to make, and dreams to peddle.

No, my dear ones, we've not got it all. Perhaps, some say, we've got none at all.
But we've still got us, and that's not small.

My little whos, the world is big, 'tis true.
There will be bad that comes, but we'll make it through.
We always do.

Friday Fill-Ins - More Christmas Lyrics

1. Said the night wind to the little lamb, do you hear what I hear?


2. The first Noel, the angel did say, was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay.


3. Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh. O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way.


4. It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old.


5. When I was small I believed in Santa Claus, and now that I'm old, I wish he was real.


6. And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing from within your heart.


7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to absolutely nothing, tomorrow my plans include church and Sunday, I want to survive the day!
