Work interferes, Christmas

Okay, I agree with Heather- working totally gets in the way of life or at least what I want to be doing in my life. It is not fair!(imagine me stomping my foot). It is not that I don't like my job but there are other things that I would rather be doing(sniff, sniff). I want to be a good housekeeper, REALLY. I want time to read , to write a book or time to sit in my swing on the porch & relax with a cup of coffee. But, I can never seem to find time for the good stuff. I know, I know- stop whining,right?

On, another note, I just realized that I have 3 paydays left 'til Christmas- OMG! That is a truly scary thought. The boys haven't really mentioned anything that they want. I know that Jared really wants a truck but it is not in the budget until some time next year. Brady has mentioned a couple of ps2 games and a cellphone but that is it so far. Any suggestions?
