It's the day after

All the mess is cleaned up.. leftovers are gone.. and I am tired as hell.. It was fun though. Not nearly as depressing as I had feared. Christmas Eve at mom's was fun. My baby sister never showed.. the first Christmas without her. I honestly wouldn't have even noticed exept for there was no one there to bitch about every single little thing.. My other little sister's husband was sick.. no great loss there let me tell you.. and my sister who has just gotten remarried and now looking for a good divorce lawyer brought her new boyfriend.. now, let me tell you, I was very sceptical about this one.. he looks different than anyone she has ever dated.. he kinda scared me a little.. Christmas Eve night he reminded me why you should never judge a book by it's cover.. he showed up and played Santa for all the kids.. he brought them all really cool gifts.. he cooked.. (I mean..hello) he gave my sister a two carat rock for her hand.. not an engagement ring mind you.. just a promise that if she gives him a chance he can show her what a real man is.. and he was GREAT. I was probably the most amazed by this because my parents kept telling me that he really was a good guy.. I am very happy about that. She deserves it. Santa came to my house about three a.m. and left some pretty cool toys for the kids.. I spent Saturday putting together things.. it was actually pretty fun.. I didn't change out of my p.j.'s until I took a shower and then I just changed into some clean p.j.'s.. that was nice. Today I had to go into town to buy a memory card for my son's new GameCube.. (why do children think they need every freakin kind of system there is?) Why Santa forgot to bring one is beyond me.. I had a pretty good Christmas myself.. I have lots of Christmas goodies, I have my Sweet Pea bath set and my Poison perfume that I really really wanted. I now have two pretty gold bracelets.. one with hearts (David gave me that one) and one with a star and a moon (my mom did that) I also got some really nice candle sets, and an oil lamp set that is cool as hell.. I just really got hooked up.. I can't even remember all of it.. I am more of a giver than a reciever so the best part was giving my mom a beautiful clock with Jesus on it that I knew she would love, and her favorite White Diamonds perfume.. it was nice.. and seeing the looks on my kids faces as they opened the gifts that they wanted was priceless.. I made them open them one at a time so I could take pictures.. up until the point where they were like.. mom, you have two rolls of pictures now.. can we just open the presents please.. so I felt guilty and let them go at it.. they even helped clean up.. it was fun.. the main gift they gave me was waiting until eight to wake me up.. that was sweet of them.. then of course they wanted breakfast so I had to go cook.. cereal is not a Christmas moring breakfast with these kids.. I can't wait until they are old enough to cook me Christmas breakfast..lol who am I kidding.. they are growing up too fast already.. I bought Bridgett (my oldest girl) a barbie and she's like 'mom, do you not think I am a little old for this'. Oops.. who knew.. Her favorite gift was her scooter and her pink pocket book.. okay then.. and I actually got out about six hundred dollars cheaper this year and they were thrilled.. so I wonder, why the hell do I spend so much money when this little stuff makes them so happy?? Anyway, I am going to quit boring you all now and go fix some dinner for the heathens..

I'm out.
