Hey, this is a good Christsmas so far. The ONLY bad thing is that difficult child isn't home behaving. If he was, then it would be a Norman Rockwell Christsmas in my book. I don't have all the luxeries, or even all the stuff a typical home has in it again, yet, but I slept sooooo good on my new mattress set last night. I think I like it better than the one I used to have- which was a pillow top. I only woke up once briefly during the night trying to remember if it was going to be Sat. or Sun. (meaning I needed to get up early to visit difficult child) and when I realized it was going to be Sat. and I could sleep late, I was right back out. LOL! I haven't slept that well in ...I don't know how long but well over two years.
For various reasons, I had chosen the dining room to camp out in until I got a bed and some other things. I only brought 2 small tv's with me and one is in the living room, I just moved the second one to my bedroom last night. So yesterday, I spent $110 at Wally world and got myself dishes and glasses - only a set for 4 but I had been using paper plates and plastic cups, a router so I can move my laptop out of the dining room and use it in the living room or my bedroom, and processed logs to have a fire in the fireplace (living room) tonight and over New Year's. I felt like a giggly, spoiled girl last night and this morning!
I hope all of you find something to feel giggly and spoiled about, too!
Hound Dog: I hope the grands have a great Christmas and you can enjoy what your time and efforts have given them.
Shari: I hope you are feeling better and you, Wee, and the rest of the family have a peaceful, enjoyable day.
Kjs: I'm sorry you have to drive and work so much thru the weekened. The orchestra sounds great though- I would love to see/hear them!
DDD & WO: I hope you and yours have a peaceful day, too, and find joy that lasts the whole year ahead!
Back to Star- well, I think we both wish we could have our sons with us and have a perfect holiday experience but then we have to ask ourselves what kind of experience would we really have if our sons were with us in the home right now. So I will just wish for you and Dude that everyone stays safe, you and your SO stay well and warm, and all of you have peaceful days and keep hoping and striving for a better year ahead and that our sons can manage to climb a little bit more on the ladder of maturity and responsibility!
