And actually, it wasn't too bad this year---no one fought or griped. The only bad spot was my niece was really sick the first half of the day--threw up in her parent's car coming down here and just miserable after that, and my little Shellie was on the verge of a serious cold all day. She's been trying not to succumb for the past couple of days, but I'll probably be at the dr.'s before the week is out. (My niece was much better by the evening so thank God for that--nothing serious.) Dinner at Mom's was great as always, and the company and presents were also. Then to my MIL's for a while (we do Christmas on Christmas Eve there, so the big do was over with, just being mom and kids for a while.)Then home, where the 5 yr old can't decide what to play with first, of course. So we limited her her a few smaller things, as we have no idea where to put the PlayDough table and the kid's fort and the Barbie house, etc. You get the picture. My boys are with their dad this Christmas and hubby's girls are at their mom's--we got them for the weekend until after the do at my MIL's.
I just finished cleaning Shellie's room so we can try to work at least the smaller stuff in there, and now am going to give her a bath so her hair will dry before bed. Hubby went to the shop to work tonight, but he was off from the church today and tomorrow, so maybe tomorrow we will get some time together--today we just couch-potato'ed it--him on the couch and me in bed watching different tv stations and dozing between "mommy..."'s and "daddy.."'s from our precious child as she listened to her Faith Hill "Fireflies" cd on her new boom box that Santa brought her.
And.........news flash.......stop the presses.....our trash actually got picked up today and I didn't have to call anyone to fight with them!!!!!!!!!My blood pressure thanks them......LOL.
