Okay, I'm just going to say upfront this has been a shitty week for me. I feel stressed, overwhelmed and downright frazzled. So allow me gripe for just a minute. Colby's insurance has changed, so at the moment that's a mess, many phone calls for that. Still working on getting Colby's room in order. His supply order for the month was incomplete, more phone calls. His IPV machine is still not working right, more e-mails and phone calls. The van is still sputtering. The washing machine is officially dead. There's not enough room in this living room to cuss a cat, nonetheless put up a Christmas tree. Whew, had to get that off my chest.
Now, enough of that whiney stuff! I know things will get better. Probably not today, but eventually all the above-listed issues will get resolved. So I need to shift my attitude to one of gratitude. Doesn't make any sense to list 30 things I'm thankful for, then turn around and gripe, whine and complain because things aren't working out the way I want. There have always been a lot of things go right lately. They are as follows:
Monday night was the Hosparus Christmas party. You talk about a special, fun, heartwarming good time. As always, it was awesome. Colby got to hang out with Santa, get his face painted, do arts and crafts, visit with friends, and open presents. Lots and lots of presents. Colby was worn out by the time he went to school, then to the party, but oh my it was worth it. Colby's room is looking better little by little. Got the carpets steam cleaned. A friend of the family got us a bookcase. I was going to put it in Colby's closet for some additional storage. However, it looks so nice I decided to leave it out in his room. Just gotta keep plugging away at it. I'll be working quite a few extra days over Christmas. Quite honestly, I'm happy to get the additional hours/pay. Can't turn down work when it's available. I'm certainly in no position for that.
Went out with my BFF Amy tonight. We went to Cheddar's then decided to do a little shopping. Hit Target and Walley World. It's been forever since we've done that, and it was great spending some QT with her.
So my new favorite show is Duck Dynasty. I've had several people tell me how funny it is. Dang, they aren't kidding. I watched it for the first time the other night and thought I was going to fall off the couch laughing. I'm sure some of it is scripted, but dang, that is a hilarious bunch of rednecks.
I'm off to bed. Determined to get the Christmas tree up this weekend. Don't know where in the world it's going, but we'll figure it out somehow. I told Colby we could just string lights around the elliptical, but he didn't seem to fancy the idea. Time to figure out some creative furniture arranging. Sigh. Nothing is ever easy around here. Never. Ever.
