Merry Christmas!

[AGDee]

Phew, all the prep is finally done and I survived Day One of my dad's wife. My dad and his wife are here from Florida and, so far, she's not been too bad. Let's hope it stays this way! My brother flew in late last night and I'm having the first official Christmas dinner tonight with him, my dad, his wife and my kids. I get to open my bestest present today (Dad always spends the most $$$ so I ask him for my "big" thing). I asked for either a Palm or a TV small enough for my kitchen.

Santa comes to my house tonight because the kids go with their dad late Christmas Eve. So, they will open their presents tomorrow morning and then we're heading to my mom's with dinner. My brother will be there too.

Christmas Day I will make dinner at my mom's again, for just my mom, my brother and I.

For the first time in ages, I've taken off the whole week, so I don't have to work again until Jan. 2nd! I'm quite excited about that! However, I only have 93 cents in my checking account and a little cash on hand. So, the kids and I will have to entertain ourselves around the house, except for some free bowling passes we have. Ah well. I had expected a check for something else to come in, but it was delayed a couple weeks. Next pay period, I'm going to feel rich (until I do my daughter's birthday shopping!)

Hope you all have a great holiday spent with family and full of love!
