Well friends, This is long....be forewarned It appears our first celebration of christmas may end the fade. Just had an elder's wife and ministerial servants wife visit as they were working our territory. We live on a cul-de-sac in a one road sub-division. Not a road anyone other than the homeowners take, EXCEPT when being blessed with salesmen or jw's. AUGH................... Those who remember, "Hypno-Toad" and I just exited this past year. Not gone to any meetings since the first of the year. We moved down to Georgia from Michigan. That helped with the family issues as we moved before fading. We have 2 young ones so are trying to make this a wonderful time of year. Have found a church we like, even have the kids involved in the choir for the christmas program!!!!! Sent our first christmas gift to a girl in Mexico involved with the church's missionaries down there. Planning on office x-mas parties. Ready to visit Santa. Just had Thanksgiving. (Just finished leftovers before the jws stopped by!!!) and celebrated birthdays and holidays all year. Anyway, back to topic. I heard a car door slam. At first I thought it was the neighbor man getting ready to leave for work. He leaves around now. But I can see his truck is gone and only wife is home. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.... I am sitting at computer shopping on E-bay for x-mas present. (I can see neighbors house and our front walk from computer) I look up and one of them is just a waving hello at me through window as she walks up sidewalk. AUGH! On the window next to me are cute little santa clause window clings (8 of them) and up by the front door, where they are standing, are the children's bedroom windows with clings in them. I didn't have to worry about our daughters clings. Just pictures of snowmen. But, our son's has snowmen and SANTA CLAUSE. Can't invite them in because the living room is decorated and a stocking is hung by the fireplace with care! Do I answer the door? Sorry for yelling, but,I DO NOT WANT TO! I hid in kitchen a few seconds as the doorbell rang. Then a HARD pounding knock. I KNOW they KNOW I am here. SHE SAW ME! (Isn't it impolite to look through windows?) Do I call hubby and ask what to do? Started to. Went back and forth between "It's my house and I don't have to answer if I don't want to.""If I don't there'll be elders here and a big to do about me hiding in the house." I am not afraid of the elders. They don't hold power over me anymore. But they do hold power over my mother, sister, neice, nephew, and my husband Whole family and extended family. So I answer. I step outside to talk on porch. Now I know why other people did when I knocked on Their door. The key strategy is to never let them in!!!! Thank goodness it's the end of november in Georgia. Still mild and yet enough of a chill in the wind to get to you after a few minutes. :-) They didn't say much for those of you who are wondering. Didn't mention or allude to the window clings. Just saying were working this territory and couldn't leave without stopping to say hello and tell me they miss me. How are kids and hubby. Chit chat. Where took kids for flu shots, a great tomato soup she had the other day. The elder's wife is aux. pio. and needed one hour but wanted to go over hours a little. (I actually thought- wow! you just worked and put in overtime for a bookpublishing company for free!)She encouraged me to come back and said don't be shy. Sometimes when were away from the hall for a while we can feel intimidated. (Nope. Just repulsed be the idea). Have a nice day. Then left. How much do you want to bet I was the topic of conversation for the rest of the morning? Boy, If the family hadn't been sick over thankgiving weekend they really could have got a show. We put off till this coming weekend putting lights on outside of house, getting a tree up and some wreaths on door. Ha! I wonder if we'll be receiving a kindly shepherding call while on the ladder stringing lights? Oh well. It's all gotta hit the fan sometime doesn't it. If you're still reading, thanks for letting me share this. I needed to tell someone and seeing the only friends I have are my hubby (at work.I'll save the ulcer for him for tonight) and my grandma (never been a jw), I had to share it with you. Love you guys, Kitten Whiskers

"Just" a Mom?
by Lady Lee inmy daughter sent this to me.
'just' a mom?.

Right on Lady Lee! My husband and I have given up much so that I could be at home with our children. I always knew I wanted to stay home with them if possible. It has been a demanding, unnerving and exhausting career. The benefits though are so rewarding. I can't even count the hospital visits anymore, but the hugs, kisses and squeezes are the best in the "employee incentive" department. I will admit, I dreamed of going to work to escape the bickering of two little ones. To escape the constant messes and find some adult conversation. I still do when they fight. As a matter of fact, with both of them now in school this year, I would like to help bring home some money. I would also like to find employment that leaves me able to take care of them over their school breaks. Though some days, after they are home together and I have to relive the occasional fights, I think a full time job and day care sound pretty appealing! But I love this. There are so many times when you are asked that question. This reply is golden. It will take awhile to memorize! Kitten Whiskers

Thank you for this. It puts so many feeling into words. lol at the "criminal justice " part! I immediately pictured the kids arguing with the neighbor kids last night and having to "Police" the situation! A truly beautiful piece of work. I loved the "glimpses of God everyday and giggles under the covers" Kitten Whiskers

Hey! thanks for the update WAC! We would be going there too! I remember the many talks I heard of its being built while attending the k.h.
Looks like we might have enough of us around here for a little get together! It's nice to know I'm not alone in this area of Georgia!
Where we used to live, the convention hall had a television monitor in the mother's room too. Even better, THEY HAD GLIDING ROCKING CHAIRS! Yeah! You didn't have to nurse your little one on a folding chair next to a urinal like at the district convention! Ugh! The disgusting things we put up with! At least in the rocker with the warmth of the baby, the droning of the brothers let us mothers catch a few minutes of unguily shuteye! Hated going back out to the auditorium!!

YOU CROSSED A LAKE!!!!!! (That's the mother voice coming out in me) :-) Glad you were able to "swim" home to safety! You must be feeling pretty soggy right now.Poor baby. Stay safe and thanks for the first hand report!
