I've been running around like crazy trying to get my house and life together. I've even getting all the dental appointments I can in before the new year, and I've been cleaning and finishing Christmas shopping and packing.
Tonight is my husband's middle school band holiday concert. I'm going to sneak in there and hopefully not get recognized by his students. I'm not in the mood to be the teacher's wife tonight.
I'm looking forward to the weekend because we are going to Disney to meet family for a day.
Then I unpack and repack for Ohio.
I'm exhausted just thinking about all that needs done.
H is worse than kids when he sees an amazon box. He will open it immediately no matter what. I have to send his gifts to my parents house otherwise he will open them.
Actually if he finds them in the house later he still opens them. I used to hide them in the guest room. Then he discovered it. I never told him I started hiding his presents elsewhere. He keeps going through the stuff for bils and fil trying to figure out which items are his. It's kind of cute because none of the gifts are spectacular so he's trying to act grateful even though he's less than enthused. 😂
teraiin - H and I each have a closet we store presents in and we don't go into the others closet unless we ask ahead. All his presents come to my name via Amazon.
But he gets the emails and I get shipping notifications so it's not really a huge surprise. I try not to look.
I made cups again and got a blood blister. The bandaid is huge.

You're leaving FL to visit Ohio this time of year? Dress warm - it's getting cold here. Have fun at Disney this weekend though!!

I used to have to have all of H's presents delivered to my office and keep them locked in a closet there until a few days before Christmas. He used to lay under the tree and shake and feel gifts to try and guess what they were.

LOL. What in the world teraiinDH? I can leave a gift for DH in plain sight as long as it's in a bag or something. Like literally I got him a mouse pad from shutterfly and it's in the shutterfly envelope on a chair in the living room. He hasn't looked at it once.
I don't have to worry about DH looking either. He leaves some of his own purchases unopened for weeks. I have never had him snoop.

Jumping in here!
This is about the time I start patting myself on the back feeling very organized and ready for the holidays. And then it always goes to shit somehow. The wrapping always gets me. I'm really trying to be calm this year...
I can always count on DS to keep things interesting. He called me Saturday morning to let me know the police had woken him up to tell him his car had been stolen and ended up in the river.
First I was like:
Then I was like:
Now I'm like:
Because this is just standard life with DS. If it wasn't for bad luck, the poor kid would have no luck at all.
Now she is saying there is $150 balance on my account...umm based on bank records and withdrawal dates I show it has all been paid (I paid ahead so I would be done quicker with it). I have the receipts somewhere at home so now I have to dig around for those tonight and call back and tell them what I paid and when otherwise go in on Friday to pay it....
Not money I was anticipating paying. And I don't think I owe it.

This has been a long day. I've mostly been working on my self-assessment for the year which is so boring and tedious. Plus I'm having PMS cramps which is always disheartening, though I don't know why I have any hope of a natural pregnancy at this point...
On the plus side, tonight we have a foster family Christmas party with other foster families from our agency. There's pizza for dinner and Santa and presents for all of the foster kids. Our older foster son has been talking about seeing Santa all week, and I'm really excited to go!

I've been working from home all week bc of the workmen in the house (who are also scared of our dogs) and I think my ass is becoming the shape of my couch, I've been in this one spot 8+ hours a day...but that's not going to stop me from spending tomorrow in the same damn spot. You'd think with an office 4 minutes away working from home wouldn't feel like such a treat...but it still does.

H's truck died so I had to go meet him to jump start him. Then run and buy new battery. Ge is installing now. So pizza for supper.
We also meet a dog in the area and waiting to be approved for this one. If so then we will call the other place back and tell thrm to withdraw application. We hadn't met the other dogs anyway.
