small favors.....

ok, so serial readers to this blog might note that historically i have been in near hysteria at this time of year over the impending visit of my youngest child's birth mother.......well....this year she opted not to come before christmas......and thus i have 1 fewer issue over which to obsess.....and that is a wonderful gift.....one less obsession.......for so many reasons........mostly because the lack of a visit allows us to have a seamless season......from thanksgiving to christmas to new years without disruption of any kind.......without drama......without the disneyland parent stuff....oh my.....you have no idea unless you have actually been there.......i change my original notion...it is a mighty big favor indeed......
