Sparks and Butterflies...

But aside from that, she's still completely normal

Ok so I blew it.

OK so I blew the holidailies. But I really do have an excuse. I had a migraine that started the night before last. All. Night. And I still have the residue headache. So that’s now full day – although it’s now manageable with Excedrin. Thank God.

Some miscelania… We have a tradition in our family for Christmas. On Christmas I bake a birthday cake for Jesus, and that’s dessert. Well, Logan is really getting into the magic of it all at 4. I explained the birthday cake to them last night. Logan thought about it. Then asked, “Are we just gonna throw it up to him?” With hand gestures and all. I couldn’t help but laugh at the picture he made of throwing the cake into heaven so Jesus could have it. I love kids who love Christmas.

hmph

I’m only here because of holidailies. So I’m taking the opportunity to whine.

I hurt. Everywhere it seems. I have to take my blood, urine, and chest tests tomorrow. My period came and it’s a doozy – I look to be about 6 months pregnant. Cramps. Headache. Backache. Plus my reflux which caused me to – er – get sick at work today. I’m not a happy camper. And I’m bitchy. So there’s you damn entry.

Only day 2 and I nearly forgot about Holidailies. Sheesh.

I’m a little busy though. I have an excuse.

Ha.

I got our tree up. It’s a new artificial. I’m so tired of the lights and the pine needles. It took a little longer than I anticipated. But, once I got it up, it actually looks pretty nice. Not decorated yet.

And – way to wait til the last minute – I have to go buy pants today, and my hair, and my nail, and then get ready to go to the office Christmas Party. I’ll look nice – but man it’s a lot of work. I’m not real girly so I don’t do it all on a daily basis. So it’s sort of a lot for me when I do do it. And the kids are with my dad, so we don’t have to worry about them. My turn to drink (and Poe has been instructed to not let me do anything stupid.) With only two of us, we always alternate so we always have a designated driver.

Wish me luck!

We’ll try this again

I’m going to attempt the Holidailies again this year.

Today… Joseph had his first school play. He decided he didn’t want to be in it, so he was the “backstage manager.” And he wanted me THERE. Very adamant about that fact. And so I was. I was very proud of him. He’s 6, and he did the curtains and helped set the scenes in between.

No meltdowns. Just behaved, listened to directions, and performed his stuff.

We won’t mention an hour of sitting through 1st graders with their own take on Jack and the Beanstalk. Oy.
