Don't tell her I said that though.

I'm going to have the house as clean as my abilities allow, but I'm also going to tell her that you said that. :)

Well I'm done shopping and have everything wrapped

Fuck! I forgot to buy wrapping paper. I suck as a single parent. Thanks for the reminder.

Plus it's harder now to keep things even between them, cuz you bet your ass they keep score :D

Yeah, I wish those $40-$60 a pop video games came in bigger boxes. I told Sandy that was going to put them in big boxes anyway, to make the tree look full and make it more of a surprise when they open them. As it stands, I may as well leave my daughter's gifts unwrapped because she'll know exactly what she has the moment she sees them. I think every parent wants to give their kids as much as possible and it's troublesome to spend all that money and have that tree look empty on Festivus morning. You feel like you've somehow failed as a parent and as a capitalist.

Wow..it's only 2pm.. i'm EARLY today.. We are overcast and have had so much rain/snow that I actually have grass sprouting on my lawn.

I've been out running around dropping off gifts to the minions and running errands. I have 14 XXXmas cards ready to go and every time i'm at the grocery, I forget to buy stamps. forget the lines at the PO right now..

We are leaving midday on Wednesday and won't be back till midday-ish on Friday. Such a long distance.. the RugDawg and I are checking into one of the local hotels for the 2 days so we can go to the movies, bowling and play bingo without having to worry about the crazy people on the street. The $100.00 it's costing me is well worth the effort. His dad is coming over for "holiday" morning breakfast and gift exchange. today my son informs me that he'd like all of his gifts wrapped which means I have to schlep to the store and find gift wrap for him.

Otherwise just continued work and oh more work.

cheers and let's hope the mailman brings bags full of checks for everyone.

Good morning world |waves|

Okay, so I'm either late or really early for tomorrow. You think you can put things off to the last minute because you're ordering online but then big storms close some small stores and icy roads slow guaranteed shipping times for others so you wind up spending hours finding replacements for things you thought were checked off the list already.

Okay, yeah, so late, fine.

See y'all tomorrow.

:)
