~~~~~~~~~~ I Am Excited ~~~~~~~~~~

Here at last, Here at last, The Weekend is Here at last!
.....
The weekend Yes at last Saturday is here! This week has blown by hasn't it? I'm sure it will be that way till and after Christmas. Christmas always seems to sneak up on me. Not this year though, I have been planning since the middle of the summer. Since all of my family is back home in TN/KY and all I have here in Arizona is my daughter, Christmas isn't too bad. I have picked up things here and there for my daughter as I have seen them go on sale throughout the year. Geeze, I sound so much like my Grandmother now...haha. But that is what I have done and Thank God I did, because I am a single Mom and it is hard to make Christmas even happen. I admit usually I have to do the whole Wal-Mart layaway thing. This year there is no more layaway so I had to plan throughout the year. So it tis done, except for a few things. Whew..
.....
I am excited because I am starting to pack to move into my new apartment!! Thanks to a very dear friend. As I said before I am a single Mom so I have only been able to afford an one bedroom for both my daughter and I since 2005. Now I have found a two bedroom that is actually 25.00 cheaper! It doesn't have all the luxuries that we have now, like a pool, dishwasher etc. Some of you may not think of those things as a luxury, but try doing without them and I bet you will appreciate them a lot more. We can live without those because it is a two bedroom and my daughter and I will have our own space! Now to me that is a lot to be excited about!!
.....
Being a single Mother I can not afford to hire someone to move me. Which brings me to "good friends". I have asked some of my friends if they would be willing to help me and a few of them said they would. Which is so wonderful since it is a big football weekend that I am moving. See, I am moving the weekend after Thanksgiving. Moving on that weekend is going to be a bit tricky with the whole holiday meal I am going to prepare Thursday night before the move. But I will do it. It is the first Thanksgiving I have had with my daughter in 3 years! One of my best friends "C" is flying in for the holidays also and she is staying with me. Kinda sucks I have to move while she is here, but she is one of my closest friends and she understands. She said she is willing to help and I feel bad that she is going to be here during the whole process, but, there is nothing I can do. And I will be moving just in time to keep out all of the Christmas decorations so my daughter and I can put them up and enjoy them throughout the season.
.....
Another of my dearest friends. One of whom I haven't known for very long but I trust with everything I have actually helped me with the deposit for my apartment. It is gonna take me a long time to pay them back, but I am a person of my word. It means so much to have such good friends especially at this time of the year. Thanksgiving means to give thanks. I have so much to be thankful for, friends, family, my job a roof over my head, food to eat and clothes to wear. I am not a high maintenance girl. I am very positive and very grateful for everything I have.
.....
So anyways... I am excited!!
Guess I better get in here and get packing!!
Woo Hoo!!!

Why don't you let 'us' know about some of the items you would like your daughter to receive for Christmas on your blog and maybe a few of 'us' who've been through the single Mom routine might be able to assist you with them. It would be our pleasure!
