Momma Drama

Tip of the day: Do not look for daily updates from Chris.......

Wednesday~ That was a busy day.............doing some pre-Thanksgiving prep for Dave. He is the actual Thanksgiving Day cooker, since it is his family that comes. That evening I ended up with the stomach bug. :( Trent too..........we spent the night on the air mattress in the guest room right next to the bathroom.

Thursday~ By morning we were done hurling, but bone tired. Dave's sister decided to come anyways, brave(?) girl. It was a low key day for me..........and hardly anything to eat on the big day. Oh, how I hated that!! I did manage to make Devin the apron that I had promised her. She wanted to wear it to bed, she is pleased as punch with it. I'm not sure how Dave ended up so sane with the lot of folks he calls his family..........maybe he's waiting for the day when the novelty of our relationship wears off to surprise me with some sort of never seen craziness.

Friday~ Dave got to go to work, while his family stayed until about 3 pm. They managed to back their car into the tree on their way out of the driveway. Spent the rest of this day doing clean up.

Saturday~ Dave and the neighbor fixed the small section of porch roof today where the squirrels were getting in, the dirty turds. (The squirrels I mean.......) Trent and I went errand running. Florist for flowers for us, the bank, the car repair shop, the hardware store, Ben Franklins, drugstore, haircut for him. Started the huge task of post company, post flu laundry. That's a lot of sheets there........Dave started packing for his second deer hunting vacation of this season. May 6th, 7th, and 8th are mine!! That is all I have to say about that. And believe me...I keep saying it!!

Sunday~ More laundry.........gawd I hate it anymore!! Got Dave packed the rest of the way and off. He shall return in 5 days at the latest, earlier if he manages to get a deer. We all made paper Christmas ornaments to hang up for our "25 days of activities leading up to Christmas." I need to write an activity on the back of each one tonight and tape them up yet. (Yawn.......or in the morning) I pulled all of the Christmas stuff out of the attic and put a few things up/out today. I'll save the rest for later this week.

Tomorrow I need to drop off petitions to the County Clerk for our general election in March. This will be after I lasso the neighbor into helping me pick up our car from the shop. The car has been there for 10 days already!!! Ouch on the repair total though............we cannot afford anymore repairs of this caliber!! These neighbors are great btw..........except Dave and I feel like such takers all of the sudden. We never used to ask anyone for any help. Of course, there was never anyone around to ask. All of the sudden, these people move next store and we are asking for all kinds of crap it seems. I don't know if things got harder, and we need help, or if it's just easy to ask them. We have to move away.........they are always wanting to help us. Telling us we give them so much more in return, blah, blah, blah. I just don't get it.

I'm sure there is more I need to write, but if I don't get Maiya up from her nap (?!?!), she will never go to bed, which is where she should technically be already, but she needs a bath and a bottle. She is a tad out of sorts today.......hope she isn't getting the creeping crud too. :(
