Finally! The presents are all wrapped, the tree is lookin' fine. Time to rest and reflect before the kids come home from Mr. Exq's house.
Yes, the kids are at Mr. Exq's at the moment. Technically I am supposed to have the kids from 12/23-12/30. However, since I am not a shrew, and since the grandparents were in town, I said they could go for the evening. They'll be back in a little bit.
Before that we had quite a hectic day. We were at the supermarket at 8 a.m. It was busy but not horrible. There were showers to be had and dresses adorned for church. Yes, I am not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree and attempted to take all three kids to a church service. It ended up being OK. Colin was a bit loud but noone seemed to mind. Well, at least not to my face. C2 sang with a choir and seemed to have fun.
The only small damper on this good day was the loser ex-boyfriend showing up at church with his fiancee/bill-payer and picking a fight with his ex-wife. Honestly, the more I see him in action, the more grateful I am that I am not the one picking up his tab!!!
Tomorrow promises to be a fun but laid-back day. The Cs and I are going to open gifts, enjoy Panettone for breakfast, and have ham for lunch. Everyone is psyched. Even the Scrooge known as me!
Merry Christmas!
