My own personal elves that love me!!!

My song of the week.

I wanted to take a moment to say that I am truly loved. On Saturday I went to St. George to decorate gingerbread houses with the family for the kids Annual Christmas Party. While I was gone Roxanne (my BFF) and another friend of ours came over and cleaned my house and wrapped my gifts without me knowing they were going to do it. This is huge for me! I have so much to do (not one that is blogging yet here I am) before Thursday. I have to have all my Christmas stuff done before then because I am taking the kids to St. George for the weekend so I can attend Michael's work party with him. Christmas will have to be all done! Think I can do it?

Anyhow, this was a big one for me. Single Momming it is hard. I have so much going on all the time that I don't even realize how much I am doing or have to do until someone else picks up the slack. Roxanne is a friend of the highest quality for realizing two things about me 1-I never ask for help. I'm not good at it. I often don't even realize that I need the help. I just do what needs to be done. Asking for help often makes me feel like a burden. 2- I am not good at letting go of things and I am very controlling about my environment. As a child, I never had control over my environment so I am very particular about things now. Which causes a few problems. I can't have someone else clean my house because I don't like them in my things and I want it all done a certain way. Anal I know. So for her to come over and really respect my space and help me out, was simply AMAZING.

These "Happy Elves" as I call them, made my Christmas. I was a little down on people after catching some folks the other day talking trash about me when one I would have considered a friend. I was shocked and bothered. SO for them to come and do something for me to make my life easier, MADE MY CHRISTMAS. Thank you Roxanne and Farren for all you've done and do. I hope that I'm as good of a friend to you as you are to me.
