Holiday Hangover
Christmas is now 4 days in my past and I think I'm still suffering from a 'Holiday Hangover' and not the kind that you get from having too much fun...the kind you get from 'burning the candle at both ends', so to speak. I'm so glad that this is a short week at work and as a BIG surprise my bossman decided to close this Monday as well...so another short week. Thank YOU!!!! I've also been sick for a week so I'm really draggin' ass...and with an ass the size of mine...that is quite a feet...now let me tell ya!!!!! On the bright side my house is COMPLETELY dechristmassed...the monster tree is taking up space (lots of space) on the back deck where it will most likely stay until spring, all the decorations, pointsettias, garlands, tinsel (well except for what I'll still be picking out of the carpet in july) and lights are gone...Also gone are the chocolates, christmas cookies, breads, pastries, and every other leftover of christmas past. GONE I TELL YOU! Not to be seen or thought of for another year. Life will get back to normal...or at least as close to normal as my life ever gets.
Big guy is home from college until January 16, it is nice to have him home but it's also a bit hard to get used too again. He is such a slob...it took him only 3 days to create a mountain of laundry and to cause a 'stench' in his bedroom...I have NO idea where the smell comes from, he is a very clean kid and always smells wonderful...what can it BE? His grades were terrible, I can't believe that my straight A kid has turned into such a slacker...of course he assures me that he now has it 'all figured out mom'. He says it finally dawned on him that College is DIFFERENT then High school, something I've been telling him since his graduation...guess he's just a slow learner. I really hope that he is telling me the truth and not just blessing me with more of his eloquent 'lip service'.
Baby girl is enjoying her vacation which ends on January 3, it was very short this year and she has done very little, which is what she does BEST! She's been dealing with a few social issues over the past few months and I think she needs a little time to regroup before she takes a next step. We had a great talk last night, first one in ages, and it made me feel very 'useful'. Her birthday is a week from Sunday and we are trying to decide what we will do for it...It really sucks having her birthday so close to Christmas...no matter what we do it's always anti-climatic! Maybe I can convince her to wait until July for a BIG party on The BEACH..that would be lots of fun. I know that I've been babbling a little but that's just the mood I'm in today...babbling...bumbling...hungover...sickly...slightly cranky ME!!!
