Christmas is OVER!!
We had already planned on not doing anything for the kids. And we didn't. In fact, what little we did plan didn't pan out. So the kids woke up to nothing.
And after about 30 minutes of devastation they got over it.
Then the Christmas magic happened, when somehow, midday, as the kids were bringing their dirty laundry into the laundry room, and passing what were empty stockings that morning, lo and behold they were FULL! A couple of trucks for the boys, a necklace and some flower garland for the girl-child, and a handful of candy for each one!
Now I can take the trees back down to the dusty basement. Re-agitate my allergies. And prepare for 2012!
Keep Moving Forward!
Any day can be a good day if it has babies, baking, or Adam Sandler!

ARG. My husband.
Sometimes it feels like the man wants me to tell him what to do, how to do it, and when, but instead of just SAYING that, he asks a bunch of questions but never answers mine! drives me nuts.
We just had like a 20 minute conversation. He called me to tell me he is going to town tomorrow and wants to know if I want to come. We talked briefly about this earlier this week, and I mentioned that I could just give him my list and he could get the groceries we need if he wanted to go alone. He never really said whether he thought that was a good idea or not, it was just kind of out there.
(To make this make sense you need to know we live 40 miles from the large city where any decent shopping can be done- walmart, target, costco, kmart, etc. So that's an hour drive each way.)
So, he was going over the options of how we could travel and spend the day more comfortably by either taking the pull behind camper or the motor home.
(Apparently I've made him feel bad/guilty because I mentioned that I miss him cause he's been working 7 on and 1 off since september. So now since I "complained" that I wanted to spend time with him on his ONE day off tomorrow, he has to rearrange his whole plan tomorrow so I can come with him. And while we're there we can get the groceries I need to buy.)
In all honesty I DO NOT want to go. Not because I do not want to spend time with my husband, because I do, but I went to IGA today for like 15 minutes and I had such a big panic attack that by the time I got home I was shaking and having an asthma attack, and so dizzy I thought my head was going to explode. So yeah.. not really looking forward to Costco with 400 people 5 days before Christmas.
NEVERTHELESS... he kept slathering on this "you're the one who wanted to spend time with me" line. So I asked him, "How long do you think you'll be gone?"
The reason I asked was because if he could get in and out of where he needs to go in 2ish hours, he could be home in 4, and I would be just fine with staying home while he did his stuff.
His response was, "well, the first place is going to take around 2 or 3 hours, then you figure 30-60 minutes per place after that"
So, naturally I questioned where he would be going that was going to take that long. To which he replied, "none of your business." it was in a teasing manner, so i assumed it meant 'christmas shopping for you'.
So we talked a little about the things I need, and from where, and what we want to get the kids for their stockings. So after we talked about parking with the RV, I asked him 'if you don't want me to know where you're going, then wouldn't it be better for me to stay home so i don't find out?"
And out of nowhere he says "i never said i didn't want you to know."
So I say, "well you're being all super secret ninja evasive whenever I mention that 2-3 hour timespan where you'll be somewhere doing something that's none of my business."
And he's like "How am I being super secret ninja evasive? If you want to know all you have to do is ask."
How much more clear can "Where are you going that is going to take you 2-3 hours?" be?
So I told him "I don't want to know. I just don't want to mess up your plans."
So he gets all "You won't mess up my plans, I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do tomorrow whether you are there or not. So I'll just go alone. I just wasted 20 minutes that I should have been working trying to see if you wanted to go with me, so I'll just go by myself. and now I need to get back to work."
Really? Alrighty then.
UGH
