Our system is down at work, so I thought I'd stop in for a visit :) Coffee = check. Drugs = check. I'm good now. I've been sick since Monday night and there doesn't seem to be a light at the end of my tunnel. However, the more caffeine I seem to ingest appears to make things more tolerable. Need I mention the drugs I'm taking are "occupational medications"? They also include large amounts of caffeine in them too :) I went to bed last night (well technically it was still afternoon...) at 5:30pm. That's right... 5:30! I slept until 5:45am this morning. I'm thinking of doing it again this afternoon too. The kids were a blessing yesterday and didn't argue at all or at least they were quiet about it and let me get some rest. Thank you sweet babies!! You can be good when you want to :) Let's try this more often ok?
Martin and I are looking forward to next week. I'm working Monday, but will be off the remainder of the week. Martin is only able to take off Thursday. It's gonna be a slim Christmas this year, but we'll make it. We didn't get our annual Christmas bonus at work this year which usually paid for their Santa. Luckily, Martin opened a Christmas account and we were able to save a little bit to help this year. There aren't any "extras" to speak of, but each is getting 2 things that they really wanted. I'm hoping the simplicity of it all will be more enjoyable and let them really appreciate what they ARE getting instead of all the "stuff" they normally get. I said, "I'm hoping".... that doesn't mean it's gonna happen. I'm fully prepared for the complaining and belly-aching for what they didn't get. I'll keep you posted.
This weekend I'm getting Alli Claire's "big-girl" bed finished and put up. She's been waiting for a month and I'm just to the point of having it refinished and ready. I'll take pictures :) She still looks so cute in her baby bed that converted into her toddler bed. I don't think I've mentally prepared myself to see her in a big bed yet. I'm sure there will be tears! Lots of them. She's my last (she's made sure of that!) but I still can't wrap my head around the growing up process and how quickly it happens. My Graisi will be 10 in February!! TEN. I can hardly believe it myself!
If I don't get back before Christmas day, please know I wish you and your family the best (albeit simple in some cases) and most enjoyable Christmas ever!! Enjoy what you've been given and eat what's left! Hugs and lots of smooches
