Christmas Countdown - 2015

[Holiday]

Good Monday morning My Christmas friends.

The end of another weekend has come and with that another Monday rolls in. Seems like it happens quite often and i
sense a pattern, lol.

My first Sunday since joining the choir since just Saturday didn't go exactly as i planned. One of the unwritten requirements of being on the choir is all day attendance on Sundays and that means i have to be there starting at 8:45 for the briefing before Sunday school starts, then after Sunday school, morning worship. A few hours break in the afternoon before regular choir rehearsal, then evening service. So most of my Sundays will be spent in church, which is fine but yesterday i get up at 6am to let Buttercup out only to find my niece sleeping in her car in my driveway. I found out She had been there since about 2am. She's a newlywed and she and her husband had their first disagreement and so she needed space. She didn't want to disappoint her parents (my older sister) so she didn't go there and didn't want to be embarrassed by going to a friend's so she came to my house but instead of calling ahead or once she arrived she just slept in her car.

I listened to the reason for the argument and offered her some suggestions mainly never leave but rather stay and work the disagreement out. Of course the argument was stupid but i didn't tell her that but i called my sister last night to see if my niece was fine which she is and she's back home with her husband.

Meanwhile i missed Sunday school and morning service. I didn't let that keep me from choir rehearsal tho and evening service. However, i was touched she came to my home and listened to me even though i feel like I'm not in the best position to offer advice due to me being divorced. I still can share with her what doesn't work when in a marriage so I'm hoping she gleaned something. Her parents have been together since dinosaurs walked the earth but again she didn't want to feel like a failure comparing her new marriage to their seasoned one.

Despite that little hiccup my Sunday as well as the rest of my weekend was great, very productive and enjoyable.
I hope you all have a marvelous Monday and a good start to your week.

Nice that your niece felt comfortable coming to your house! I hope everything works out fine for them! Good luck with choir!
Have a great day!

Good morning everyone, Happy Monday!
I'm heading out soon to run a few errands, back home afterward to work on a few chores around the house. I think I'm going to take a ride back to HomeGoods today to pick up some Halloween decorations, I saw so many that I liked when I was there a couple of days ago. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!
Oh I received those vintage Christmas figurines that I bought off of eBay, I just love them ~

Good morning, friends! Hope you're having a great Monday so far! I've been busy! I've been baking - trying to use up the last of my zucchini from our garden. I've made a few loaves of zucchini bread and some cookies. I'm also going to decorate for fall today too, since I'm going to be busy in the coming days. DH wants chicken pot pie for dinner, so I plan on making that tonight. I do have a massage scheduled for this afternoon, so I'm really looking forward to that!

Hope all is going well with all of you! Thinking of you all and prayers!
