Busy....

....which I am sure that everyone is at this of the year. Finished all the ornaments for everyone here at work plus the ones for all of LR's classmates. Still need to get a couple of more things for LR. Just thinking of it makes me exhausted. I am so tired of all the hussle and bussle of Christmas. I know that LR is sooo looking forward to it, but I will be so glad when it is over. Since I am off the rest of Christmas week (oops I have to work Thurs), I am thinking that I may take my tree down then. I don't think that I will wait till after the New Year. Just so that I can get my house back to normal.

In the spirit of the season, and since they ordered LR a subscription to Highlights, I sent my dad two pics of LR. I'm not extending the olive branch too much, but I thought since they did get him something for Christmas (even though they can't remember his Birthday) they should at least see how big he is getting.

Every year we always have to go to my MIL's house for Christmas Eve. We all usually bring something, which is no problem. I was expecting to have to bring mashed potatoes, or green beans. Can't bring dessert, nope, that is ALWAYS saved for my oldest SIL to bring. I guess it's an unspoken rule that she is the only one to brings sweets...anyway, two weeks ago my MIL called and asked if I still get a turkey every year for Christmas. OK, I haven't gotten a turkey for Christmas since I started the job that I have now, 5 YEARS AGO!! Anyway, then earlier this week, BR told me that we needed to get with my MIL to talk about us buying the turkey. WTF! For some reason this really hit me the wrong way. Why should we be responsible for the turkey. Especially since I would prefer a ham! Well, I haven't called her, she can call me. Funny thing is that she called BR about the turkey instead of calling me. Does she know how to work it or what.

Need to go the post office, but I know the line will be soooo long, I will be there longer than my hour lunch. So, some people may get their presents after Christmas. I know, I suck, wait to the last minute. Do it every year, you would think that I would eventually get better. Apparently, I am a slow learner.

Nothing....

Haven't written in a while due to my life is boring right now. My aunt and Uncle drove down from the "burnt orange" city to see me yesterday. Brought LR his Christmas gift. I debated on whether or not tell him that she brought it. I guess I shouldn't have since LR got upset with me when I wouldn't let him open it last night (make him wait till Christmas!). I told him to call her and tell her "Thank You" and he said no. His reasoning....if he couldn't open it yet he wasn't going to nice and tell her thank you yet. I guess he has a point.

I started out in the Christmas spirit and now it's kinda gone down hill. I don't feel like shopping or doing the rest of the decorating that I need to do at the house. I don't have much longer, so I better get me arse in gear. I still need to make gifts for teacher, bus driver, girls here at the office, and postman. Can't forget the postman right? Not that he really ever brings anything good, like a check from Ed McMahan. All he brings is cramp, like bills.....

LR started Little Dribbler's this week. I am soooo relieved that it's only one night a week, and I think he is also. We have a way better coach this year than last, so I hope it goes smoother this year. And he actually learns a little something besides that winning is EVERYTHING and always give the ball to the older boys to let them score all the points. I mean, come on, they are 5 yrs old. Teach them the fundamentals first, then they learn from there. We aren't playing for the state championship or anything. Geez....

I am going to try and crochet another hat...the first one I did was way way way to big. I thought I followed the pattern, but guess not... or I have a smaller head than the average person, and I doubt that.

Well, I will go after leaving you with that long long rambling sentence above.
