I PASSED!!!!!

Yep!!! I am now a certified administrative professional!!! (see this) and Yes, I've been jumping up and down and chick flailing and crying those happy tears....*WHEW* what a relief!!!

Well, I'm impressed...

My sibs did this....

nope. no photo shopping involved. they had a lot of snow...and a lot of time on their hands....and they created this.....pretty cool huh?

As Christmas (and Bug's birthday) rapidly approach....I scramble for last minute gifts, ingredients for yummy treats and wonder just how many cars can fit into a parking lot......I'm forced to stop for a breath and remember why we do all of this....the real reason for the season....Jesus' birth...family togetherness.....and I smile and plod on...wishing those clerks a Merry Christmas.....even when they get all startled and wish me Happy Holidays....

I've decided not to get offended by it....because well, to stand there and wish each customer Merry Christmas, Happy New Year is exhausting...... ;-)

May the joy of the season surround you, may you be filled with God's peace, may your joy be complete in the promises of Christ.

Merry Christmas to all!
