[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 222218, member: 84"] MB you're right. And I only complain because I'm in school. Otherwise it wouldn't bother me so much. Actually, not at all because when the kids were little I used to do the holidays by myself anyway. (except for the meal at MILs) Since I've decided I'm probably going to take winter quarter off from school....... Because if I go into the LPN in the spring I won't get a break until I'm done......... Xmas no longer feels like a burden and my spirit is coming back. :happy: I even called my mom and talked to her for 2 hours tonight. It was a wonderful chat. Tomorrow Nichole is helping me clean and we're putting up the decorations. If she leaves in the middle....I'll just finish myself. Darrin is here and it'll make it fun. Money is low here too this season. I was so stressed over that exam I hadn't realized how much the kids had all cooperated to make sure that those who really wanted something got it for a present. easy child is so uncomfortable that all she wanted was one of those pregnancy pillows. They're expensive. But Travis, Nichole, and I pooled our money and got it for her. K had the plug go out on her lap top. Fortunately Travis had been looking up stuff for them and knows the model number. The new power cord isn't cheap, but again....Nichole, easy child, Travis and I are pooling funds to give it to K and her husband for xmas. It's going to be sent right to them. And I've thought of a little extra surprise I'm giving them......one of those cheap video cameras for the computer so when we chat I can see K and the kids "in person". Cool. :D Alot of pooling of funds is going on. But I think it's going to be a nice xmas for everyone. Oh, and MB, the screen name comes from the fact that I love daisies. ;) :forchristmas::elf::rudolph::santa: [/QUOTE]
