It's Xmas Eve Day!

And I really, really, really wish I wasn't constipated.

Can having a good bowel movement be my Xmas wish this year?  Seriously!

weight:  226.6 lbs

I had planned for being 225 lbs today but, like when I didn't hit my date goal on Sept 11th -- I will still get there, even if it takes a bit longer.

Today Baby Girl and Son and I are headed over to his godparents' place (aka the home of one of my BFFs) to decorate cookies and exchange presents while Hubs and Step-Daughter are on the way here.

Then we are going back over there on Boxing Day to do gifts and such with Hubs and Step-Daughter when Son is at his father's place.

Baby Girl was up for a good chunk of the evening last night - so I am rather tired today.

Not sure how much or how little I'll be blogging over the next few days, but I expect to still post at least once per day hopefully!

So to all of my readers - I wish you a non-denominatial, non-religious happy holidays and should you be of a more religious bent than I, then please change my wish to you into a form that most suits what your personal beliefs are.

Although I consider myself non-religious and fall under the spiritual and probably neo-pagan umbrellas of classifcation -- we call it Christmas here.

I was raised with Christmas within my family's belief in the United Church.  Hubs is a lapsed Catholic.  Step-Daughter was baptized in a church by Hubs and her mom.  Son and Baby Girl have not been baptized in a church although they do each have a wonderful set of godparents, who understand their role of providing additional moral guidance, and being confidants to the kids without being religious.

But godparents is the term I am used to - so that's what we use.

Son does say prayers at night, although not in a traditional sense.

When he was younger I taught him to say and think of the following:

"Protection, strength, perseverance, wisdom, oneness with the universe."

And when he is older, he is free to believe in what he wants to - even if it differs from my own personal belief system.  I plan the same freedom for Baby Girl.

Have a great day, everyone!
