[QUOTE="Andy, post: 397121, member: 5096"] Sorry about the Wii :( It sounds like you found a way to have a Merry Christmas without it? I hope Big B found some Christmas joy. What a great thing you did for husband's co-worker! I all my years working, I had only one vacation request denied. I didn't mind though because EVERYONE else in the office was asking for it off to do family things - most had relatives coming in or they were going to relatives. It was a three days in the middle of the summer. It is a good feeling to know you are helping other families enjoy some time together. A cleaning lady service for a day would be AWESOME!!! What a great gift you received. :) We had a nice Christmas. Got our usual blow-up out of the way around noon. Diva then put on fb that she remembers why she hates holidays because people b**** and scream for no reason. To which I replied that there was a reason caused by children old enough to help who when given the smallest of tasks have to moan and groan about it causing mom to get very fed up and start to complain about her family. Things like me washing dishes and instead of "Here, let me help" it is, "WHEN is lunch going to be ready? I can't wait that long - make me something NOW!"(difficult child and I know that husband was thinking it) or just out right refusing to do anything like setting the table (again difficult child but Diva was doing something equally as disrespectful. Something to do with getting Christmas dishes out and saying we can't use them because they needed to be washed instead of bringing them to the kitchen and adding them to what I was washing at the moment). Didn't help that my left arm was going whacky and hurt to use it so I was trying to do as much right handed as possible. It did however give me the excuse to tell them that they HAD to help. That I was not carrying anything heavy or awkard or would be a disaster if dropped. I made Diva make the green bean casserole. Her fiance' made the meatballs as planned, and I made the salad. The blow up was shorter lived than usual this year and Diva and difficult child did their best to be more respectful the rest of the day so all is good. (I even overheard Diva's fiance scold her for arguing with her parents) Diva's fiance has been here for a few days. We have enjoyed having him around. I don't have Skype but facebook has been keeping me in touch with relatives and how things are going for my very sick grandma. I was able to share some special moments by things being posted that I would never have known about otherwise. [/QUOTE]
