Christmas Tree Shopping....

....or not.

We were going to go get our tree today, but we weren't even out of the driveway when the kids started fighting. We made it as far as the Parkway before I had to turn around and come home. I told them that I wasn't going anywhere with two kids that were ungrateful and behaving badly!

So now we are home and sitting in our rooms...I'm so not in the spirit!

A good day...

Today is a good day!

I am feeling okay and rested (kinda). I'm off today and the kids are at school! Joe and I are going to go shopping for jeans for him. Watching TV and am loving the new "look back" feature on the cable box!

Great night....

It was a great dinner!

After dinner, I came upstairs, took a shower got dressed and went shopping. Got a great deal with the 30% off at work, plus the $20 ECB that I had and the other coupons I had! Guess it's time for dinner!

On the downside, after I complimented my husband for a great dinner, my MIL said yes, great dinner in more ways than one....and then she smirked her evil little smirk!

Totally uncalled for!

Well, enough for today!

Good night, all!

Just waiting....

.....for dinner to finish cooking so I can go to bed...lol! Shouldn't be too much longer. We are having roasted pork loin, scalloped potatoes, and corn...hopefully he found the gravy that I requested! I smells divine! And my tummy is a rumblin'!

Too tired to think...

I had a lot of trouble getting to sleep last night. It was nearly 3 am when I finally dropped off. I had to be to work at 8 am this morning, so needless to say, I'm pretty tired. I am thinking of taking a nap, but that would mean I won't sleep tonight. Guess I will just hang around online for a bit while dinner is cooking and hopefully go to bed early tonight, since I work at 8 am tomorrow....

Have a great day all!

Christmas Blues

I am not feeling the Spirit this year!!!

That being said, I want to cancel anything having to do with Christmas. I don't want to see any decorations, hear any music, wrap any presents, or go shopping.

I am depressed that we don't have the money to buy the things that our kids want. We hardly have the money to buy the things they need...

I am working my ass off trying to keep us solvent, but that isn't hardly working out. I am full time, but next week I'm only scheduled 28 hours. Not enough to pay the bills. Not enough to make sure we have what we need. Hell, we don't even have the money for rent...had to borrow some money so we didn't bounce a check!

This seems to be the going theme for the last few years...never enough!

To top it all off, the kids are behaving terribly! All they seem to do is fight each other and us! I can't take much more!

Case in point: Today, I had a lousy day at work. Joe and the kids picked me up and before we were even out of the parking lot, the kids were fighting! And they continued fighting all the way home! I was driving and threatened to pull over! All Joe did was sit there...didn't say a word...he just sat there! I AM DONE WITH ALL OF THIS!!!

Why is it that I am always the one that disciplines? Joe just sits there and gets a little upset, gets a little more upset, and then a little more upset, and then BOOM he explodes! Me, I just get on in there to begin with and am just BOOM from the get go!

So I am proposing a Christmas boycott. No not the religious aspects, only the commercial aspects. Sorry Santa, you can't come to my house this year!
