BUSY VACATOIN
I thought I would have more time to blog with having the week off! NOT. I have to get up at 6AM just to get my freaking email lol. I made the mistake of buying the kids not one but, two computer games. Neither of them will work on the computer in my room so it has been a battle field of who’s turn it is to play on the computer for a few days. The only computer hooked up to the internet at the moment.
I have been running around doing errand’s and returns for the past couple of days, cleaning and getting caught up on things that have been neglected from not having enough time between work and Christmas shopping. I look at the tree and decorations foaming at the mouth to put it all away while the kids bark in protest. I have promised to wait until after New Years. It is going to be hard, Zoe and Aidan are going to my brothers tonight and will be staying until Saturday afternoon. Thank gawd. No more fighting for the computer! Well, I will just have to wrestle with Sophia for it but, I can take her. She is very week and timid in the morning!
This week is going by too fast. I haven’t made one visit of many that I promised to make yet, and it’s already Wednesday! Angus switched his day off which has messed up things a bit on me too. Hopefully February vacation will get here fast lol. I haven’t seen my cousin E but once since we moved here, a close friend since the end of summer and, none of my aunts and uncles. I have been here almost a year now! The weekends are just not long enough I tell ya LOL.
Christmas went well. The kids are all happy with what they received. Even the day at my sisters went well. No major mishap’s or tantrums from her. Almost, but she managed to contain herself well. I thought it was all over with when my brother pulled up in a nice brand new Volvo though. The green on my sisters face just glowed with envy. Her Expedition that she bought the beginning of this year was bumped a notch, and she didn’t like it. Not one bit. It was written all over her face. She did well though I have to say. She made and excuse about having to check on dinner and walked away with no comment. That was so amazing let me tell you.
I must admit I was a little envious myself lol. I am so happy for my brother and SIL to be were they are right now in life. They have been through so much together over the years. He has worked very hard to get there. I don’t know anyone who deserves it more than they do. Well, um maybe one other person. But that ain’t happening for a long time lol, if ever! I hear pitter patter of a few feet. Let the wars begin. I am so looking forward to a few quiet days. What I am not looking forward to is the return. After being on their best behavior for three and a half days Zoe and Aidan will be in rare form when they return.
Not much planned this Year for New Years Eve. We are staying in and ordering Chinese food. Oh, the look on Angus’s face when I suggested it was priceless when I told him we would have to make the order by noon time lol! He had never heard of such a thing as Chinese food on New Years lol.
The holidays, even the small ones, have been hard this year. Everything is just so different from what we are used to. I fought all day on Christmas not to let the gloomies get me but, Monday was harder. Boxing Day, the day when we really celebrated Christmas in California. I couldn’t call everyone there. I was too afraid it would depress me more. Aw well, its all almost over, and hopefully this year will be the beginning of good things. I could sure use some thats for sure LOL.
