It's over

It came, five minutes passed, and now it's gone. Or at least that's how it felt. Christmas is over.

I spent Christmas eve caring for an ill child and that ill child spent Christmas day in the emergency room. My poor baby. Thank God that it's just what everyone else has. I was just so nervous because even though she is sick, she's a strong little girl and she was so scared with how she was feeling last night that she asked on her own if she could make the trip to the emergency room. But she's getting better. She just needs lots of rest that she missed out on last night.

I think I need that too.

Help! I've fallen and I can't get out!

She's just so silly sometimes!

Returns

I have this bag in the back seat of my car that has been there for the past week. Its some presents I bought that I have to return at Wal-mart. I keeep telling myself to go, but I have been dreading standing forever in the customer service line. I know if I wait until after Christmas, it will be even worse. Does anyone know if we can do returns at Wal-mart at this time? I bet there would be no line. It's too late to go there at this time alone...

I guess I will ponder on whether or not to do it tomorrow. It will probably sit in the back of my car for another two weeks.

And vacation starts!

Dime is finally off for Christmas break. Unfortunately, working in accounting, we are not allowed to take off the last week of the year. Boo boo boo!!! And I have to work Christmas Eve (but we get to leave at 2) and the day after Christmas. I really wanted to take off the day after Christmas and go around and shop. We are in need of wrapping paper for the next couple of years. We used so much this year, all we have left are Disney Princesses, Care Bears, and Dora the Explorer. I don't think the adult presents would look very cute in that.

Nonetheless... vacation has started and I'm excited.

Presents from the heart...

I LOVE presents from my daughter. They are usually something she made and from the heart. Today in her Prims class, she brought home a glass potpurri jar with sugar cookie scented oils. It smells so good!!! She decorated the jar herself and it's absolutely beautiful. I was willing to wait until Christmas to open it, but she said she wanted me to use it to decorate around the house. No arguments here. He-he.

This year, there are actually presents under the tree from her. I'm curious to see what they will be.

Junk

Ohhhhhh!!! My tummy just aches so much. I think that I've eaten more junk food this week than I have the entire year. I can't wait until the holidays are over...

I'm going to sleep away this junk infested tummy now. But wait... I have to bake 2 dozen cookies for Dime's school Christmas party tomorrow.

Pauline, you are not allowed to try the cookies!

I just realized...

...That it has been over a month since my last post!!! Oh my gosh! And now there are only 6 days left til Christmas. Where has the time gone??? My New Year's resolutions is to blog more. Ha ha ha!!! Or at least one of them anyway. If I didn't have to be at work in 5 minutes, I would write more... So I'll write later! I have missed writing and reading blogs!
