Momma Drama

UGH!!
Lost the last post............

Christmas is over.....yay! I'm not sure why I'm so gung ho on being done with it this year......maybe I'm trying to hustle winter along. I really want to un-decorate, but my sister and family are coming up today to do the Christmas gig.

Christmas itself was lovely. My mom and brother were here, and the kids had a blast opening gifts. Seems like all the gifts were a hit. Dave and I had bought the TV a few weeks ago as our big gift, that way the kids can go upstairs to watch a movie for quiet time. Is there a better present than that? I also got slippers from Dave and a new fleece robe from my mom. I got Dave a new 'manly' coffee mug and a deer antler Christmas ornament. Dave's mom sent me hideous clothes as usual, and a shirt for him. She also sent the usual $100 for us to split. I'm thinking of using my half on scrapbooking supplies. I need my sister to identify some items that came in my grandma's sewing boxes first though. Grandma has been moved into a 'retirement/senior' apartment so I'm ending up with the table sewing machine and 60 years worth of notions........(in addition to two extra sewing machines that my aunt and cousin are unloading on me) Anywhoo..........there are some tools in the sewing boxes that look to me to be an eyelet setter and such........
My brother had to leave on Christmas day so he could get back to work, and my mom left yesterday. Yesterday was pretty much a wash out due to the second migraine in a week. :(

We are all going shopping in a little bit, the kids got money from the neighbors for Christmas. I need to go order a cake for my little birthday girl, and buy her some pajamas and clothes for her present. Hope I can find some clearance Christmas wrapping paper for next year.
