Wednesday!

What's up people?

It was a rough wake-up this morning, but after some coffee and a nice chat with SIL...I'm feeling better. 

I'm so ready for Christmas break.  I have the first week off and have plans for doing a lot of baking, wrapping, and finishing Christmas shopping.   And sleeping in. And maybe DH and I can finally have a date. 

We wrote a letter to Santa last night from DefConn for school.  He wants his own Christmas tree with lights in his room.  I'm on the hunt to find him a small, cheap one.

    I'm cranky.  Dh was all "Christmas sucks" last night.  I threw a clothe in the sink and said (loudly) "Some of us want to enjoy it.  Stop trying to take that away."  

    His mom is being a pain.  We are getting together this weekend. It has to be after 4 for the big celebration because sFIL has a game he doesn't want to miss.  SIL and her son are staying there and we don't want to impose on FIL so we're coming back Saturday night.  We THOUGHT we'd try to get some extra visit time in with MIL at least, but she has her monthly breakfast with friends.  So our visit is cut short because of a monthly breakfast and a girls basketball game.  Merry Christmas.

    On a happy note, I have subbed a couple times for a card club of neighborhood women.  Last night they asked if I wanted to be permanent.  Yay!  So now I have Bunco, Card Club, and Mom Group.  How suburban cliché am I?

    I'm tired. Both kids were home sick yesterday, and while they are good enough to go to daycare/school they are both in that grumpy, getting over being sick mood which made getting them ready this morning delightful. Even though I took the day off from work to watch them, I ended up fielding calls and trying to work when I could yesterday so I'm a little peeved at my coworkers.

    I can't wait for next week. I have a 4 day weekend, then after that 2 days of work, then another 5 days off, then 2 days of work. Plus next week Friday the new Star Wars movie comes out!

    Ugh 6, I'm sorry about DH and IL dickery.  I'm trying to look forward to the holidays too, but it's hard with DH and FIL.  And this is the year DefConn finally, really 'gets it' and he's so excited.  Hopefully people can rally for his sake. 

    My nephews bday is next Friday and my sister is taking him and a bunch of his friends to the Star Wars movie.   I think they're going Saturday.   That kid is getting Star Wars everything for his bday and Christmas.

    Morning.  I'm a little cranky, too.  I haven't done very much today.  I need to get in gear, but I really need to start with breakfast.  I know I'll feel better if I eat something.

    DS woke up crying around 1:30 this morning.  He is usually a good sleeper but he wouldn't settle, so I brought him in bed with us.  Fast forward to 4:30, and DH and I are awakened by a loud clunk.  (Afterward, DH said it sounded like someone dropped a pile of logs next to the bed.)  We have no idea how, but DS managed to fall out of our bed.  First the driveway, now this.  Fortunately, as soon as I scooped him up and parked his ass back in bed, he went right back to sleep.  Unfortunately, DH and I were then wide awake.  And we couldn't even really fool around, with DS sandwiched between us.  :\

    Y'all have inspired me.  I sent FIL's present yesterday (bacon of the month, I <3 Zingerman's), and my grandma's and SIL's today.  And sent OSIL's kids' presents yesterday.  And all of the lights are finally done--DH said they looked "very cheerful" when he got home last night.  (We compromised:  I've always been a non-blinking white lights girl, DH prefers blinking colored, and DD would recreate Vegas if she could.  So we have non-blinking colored and everyone is happy-ish.)  I should have our Christmas cards in tomorrow's mail.

    My mom emailed me this morning because my brother's plane gets in at 9:30 p.m. on the 23rd, and she lives about an hour from the airport.  First, she referred to herself as a ninny muggins, and I literally LOLed.  Second, now that she is officially 65, she has suddenly decided she doesn't like to drive at night (which makes me feel like she's getting old-ish, even though 65 isn't really that old; it's like the parent equivalent of Wooz suddenly calling me Mom instead of Mommy). 

    So she asked ever-so-nicely if I would mind picking my brother up, and I am stupid-excited.  I haven't seen him in over a year.  She offered to either pick him up from my house that night (apparently having been here and back so many times, it doesn't worry her like navigating the airport at night does) or the next morning.  I'm leaving it up to him but I really hope he stays the night.  I think we should do wine and Christmas movies when he gets here, although knowing me, by the time I go to the airport and back, I'll probably fall asleep on the sofa.  Plus then we will probably all go to breakfast, and even though I was irritated with my mom last week, I can't think of anything I would like better than breakfast on Christmas Eve morning with my mom, brother, DH, and the kids.  Especially since I won't be cooking or cleaning up.  ;) 

    I'm like a kid who can't wait for Christmas vacation (or as Wooz corrected me yesterday, "winter break").

    Random- I was in the Target bathroom yesterday and some woman said "are you in -insert area mom facebook group?"  It's kind of creepy she recognized me from a profile pic and then I had to think about whether I'd been an asshole on there.

    I married Mr. Grinch himself @6fsn so can wholeheartedly relate!!!  He takes a bit too much pleasure in all things holidays going less than expected!!  Last year he had an ear to ear smile/grin because we never got to put the Christmas tree up! (NEVER again!)  This year my brother is questioning the second coming because I decided to say the heck with DH's Grinch-ness and get the Christmas gifts purchased, ready, wrapped, and delivered early..  Now - to get the space ready for the Christmas Tree to go up which is proving to be a difficult task since he knows what's going on and isn't going to lift a finger to keep the kids from reinhabiting the space with toys (any space open and clean shall have claims staked immediately..)  Ugh!

    "Last year he had an ear to ear smile/grin because we never got to put the Christmas tree up!" Your husband sounds like an ass. It's one thing to not be in the holiday spirit, but to actively enjoy when things go awry for others takes it to another level.

    I should clarify that while DH hates all the drama and crap around Christmas he doesn't actively sabotage my efforts or delight in failures.

    Exactly my point. Some people don't get into Christmas as much and that's ok. But to get joy from seeing other people be disappointed is just assy.

    Yeah, but given all we've heard about her husband it's not surprising.
