Happy Holidays!!

Happy Holidays! It's Christmas Eve and I am finally getting excited for the holiday. I am one of those procrastinators who waits until the very last minute possible to do shopping. Thank God for online shopping! It has made my life much easier over the past few years. Last night, I actually ventured to the mall since Kay Bee Toys is going out of business. It was much, much better than I anticipated. Although the selection was limited, I was able to find some great toys he would enjoy. I can't wait to see his reaction as he opens the gifts. We have, for weeks, been threatening to send Santa a text to let him know he does not need to stop by on Christmas when Josh starts to misbehave. He of course can read now and stands over my shoulder and I type the text. It's actually kind of funny how fast he whips into shape. Tonight he even helped me clean the kitchen after dinner.

Earlier today, Josh said he had "a great idea" which was to take an afternoon nap. He joined me in the recliner and slept for 2 hours. I was thankful for that time. God knows he does not sit still for very long so to be able to just hold him and study him was a blessing. That is something I have not done in quite a while.

On Sunday, evil SIL had a gathering at her home for nice SIL, Vickie. There is a long history of evil SIL's evilness and that would be several pages in itself so I will try to keep it as brief as possible. She goes out of her way to hurt feelings and belittle people. Greg insists that I should just let it roll off but if I do that, she will just continue her horrible behaviour. Anyway, Greg and my BILs were watching football and evil SIL wanted everyone to play a game. The guys were not interested and evil SIL actually threw a tantrum and went as far to say that everyone should do want the host wants and we were in her "bleeping" house. Josh was sitting right there and she did not care. She wanted to have another gathering tonight, Christmas Eve, but I told Greg nooooo way. He agreed, thanks goodness.

On the ttc front, I am in the waiting period, I believe. My cycles are so wacky though so timing is challenging. I can only hope and pray for the creation of a special holiday gift.
