So how was your Christmas?  Mine was exhausting!  I have been missing my blog, but I have barley sat down since I left work last Thursday.

Thursday evening I had to go grocery shopping.  Then I came home to start cooking the things I could start on (which wasn't much).  Then Friday Mom and I got up to do some last minute shopping/browsing around.  Then Friday night we had Christmas at Mark's parents house.

Saturday was the most stressful by far and I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown before the end of the day!!!  I got up to start cooking and preparing the food for Christmas Eve.  We had to go to my Grandparents house.  We spent most of the day there...  I missed Christmas at Mark's Grandma's because I got home too late.  Then when I finally got home it was a mad dash to finish cooking and get everything ready for Mom and Winston to come over to eat and open presents.  I was jumping for joy when Christmas Eve was over because I had no energy left!!!

Up on Christmas Day to watch Winston open his Christmas gifts from Santa (or Santa Mom as my Mom would say).  He got a new phone which I spent most of the day trying to activate.  After trying to activate it all day and calling Verizon it never started working until today.  Apparently their system was overloaded.  Note to self...next time activate the phone before Christmas!!!!!  Mom and Winston had decided they wanted to burn an old deck in the back yard...I had to supervise.  Luckily nothing was burnt down.  Then we ate dinner at Mom's (thank goodness I didn't have to cook).  Christmas day flew by and I could feel myself needing sleep!!!

But then there was today...  I wanted to get up early to go do some shopping.  Mom was mad because I said we were leaving by 7:00.  I wanted to hurry get everything done so I could take a nap this afternoon.  Well  I didn't wake up until 7:15 so Mom was ill with me because she had got up so early : (  Sorry Mom!  I bought her Starbucks at the mall so I am sure she forgives me.  I got everything I needed for the most part.  I just wanted some jeans from Old Navy (who can beat $15.00), and I wanted to stop by Bath and Body Works.  I also wanted to go to Wal-Mart and pick up some new ornaments but I decided to just go home because I didn't feel like dealing with the people at Wal-Mart.

Came home then Mom called...Winston needed help with his new phone.  Mom's Christmas tree fell over twice today, I think she finally just threw it in the back yard...LOL!  I tried to get the house clean and done some laundry.  Still exhausted :(  I did squeeze in an hour nap (WOW).  Did I mention my car has no brakes and I can't drive it???  Geeezzz  So I am sitting here now, feeling sorry for myself because tomorrow I have to go back to work.  I am tired, unorganized, carless, and broke....yep I am sure I am going to be in a lovely mood tomorrow.  Hopefully it won't be too busy!!!

All in all it was a great Christmas  :)  Usually I would be off this week but since I have a pain in the rear job I have to work because they wouldn't allow us to use vacation this week (eyes rolling).  So I really ran myself ragged and tried to spend a lot of time with Mom and Winston because I usually do a lot with them this week while we are both off.  So Thank You job for ruining the time I like to spend with my family!!!! 

::::::::and to all my friends::::::  I miss everyone  :(  I have seen no one over the Christmas break nor had the chance to talk with anyone.  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and hopefully I will see you all soon!!!!

Hope everyone has a great week.  It's a 3 day work week for us because we have Friday off for New Years.  I hope it flies by!!!
