nice nice nice Christmas.

Four days off in a row, very nice.  Relaxing.  Lots of TV watching and sleeping was had by all. 

For the first time in the history of us, my husband participated fully in the festivities.  Yay!  best present ever.  he went with me and the kids to look at Christmas lights on Christmas Eve.  Then we took turns reading the Christmas story from the Bible and sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and had cake.  Then we watched WWE from Iraq because we thought Ashley's husband Jarod might be on there talking to one of the famous wrestler guys but they didn't show him, darn it.  Then the babies went home to bed and Michael and I snuggled down for a long winter's nap.  The babie's came back at 9:30 and we opened presents, again with his maj present and accounted for.  Yay!  I made a huge breakfast and then Meg went off to Ashley's grandparents house where she gets treated like one of the family-meaning spoiled rotten!  She got gifts from Ashley's grandma and her husband and from the grandpa and his wife so she was double spoiled.  Plus Ash and her Mom and DJ gave Meg presents too.  She scored this year.  6 months of xBox live, $100 gift card to Walmart, not to mention all the crap her dad and I piled on her.  Brat.

My personal booty went like this: 

My fish tank.  A $20 Petco card to go and buy more things for my tank from the kids.  An awesome retro Seahawks Biederlack blanket that is so soft and warm and has the original Seahawks colors and a Seahawks pillow that my darling boy made me all by himself in home ec.  Prized possession.  A very cool teapot that I will probably never use and a totally wicked leather purse that I love love love from my mom-in-law and Mr. G...$20 from my mom and dad along with some jewelry I'll never wear.  They also gave me and Michael a roll of paper towels and a Campbells' All In One dinner.  Money is a little tight for my folks these days.  

So now I'm at work and it's so dead here it's not even funny.  I am pulling out my hair with extreme boredom.  But I only have to work today and I get four more days off so I can't complain.  Well...maybe just a little....
