I THINK WE'RE ABOUT CHRISTMASED OUT

So why haven't I blogged for the last week or so? Where have I been? I've been running around like every other fool getting ready for Christmas, that's where. Every day for the past week, I got up and thought, okay, who are we going to see today? Whose present do I need to get wrapped and out the door, today? Hey, I'm a busy lady, don't judge me, haha.

Cute story about Colby. He had a school field trip to the mall last week to see Santa. I wasn't able to go because I had to work, so I asked my dad to go. I thought some grandson/grandpa time would be nice for them, something besides a stinky trip to Cincinnati Children's. I was told a good time was had by all. I had given Colby some money in case he wanted to get something. They asked Colby, do you want to go to the toy store and get you a toy, yes or no. He answered NO. They asked again, Colby, do you want to get something for you while you're here, yes or no. He said NO. Then they asked, Colby, do you want to get a present for you mom, yes or no, and he said YES. Aaaaaah, such a sweet boy. He picked out some lotion and a candle holder, both of which I love of course. So proud of him for wanting to get a present for someone else besides himself. Makes me think I'm actually doing something right around here after all.

It looks like the North Pole exploded around here. Of course, Colby has been opening presents off and on since December 3rd. Guess that's how it's supposed to look with a 10-year-old around, huh? He opened his gifts from me last night. His favorite by far was the little fiber optic Christmas tree I bought him for his room. He jabbered and jabbered when he opened it. Then when I plugged it up and turned it on, he jabbered even more. It was really sweet. If I had known a 24-inch, $15 tree was going to make my kid so dang happy, he would have gotten one years ago!

Took Colby to Mass today. He looked so handsome in his khakis, white shirt and red Christmas tie. Now we're home chilling out. I'm baking a frozen pizza (again, don't judge me.) Sipping on some really good red wine one of Colby's nurses gave me. We're both in our pajamas. Just got done watching A Christmas Story. Last year was the first time I had watched that movie from start to finish. I knew the important parts, tongue sticking on the flagpole, opening the leg lamp, etc. but never watched the movie in entirety. My stepbrother loves that movie. So to honor him for being such a great brother, I watched it last year from end to end, now I'm hooked. Colby and I have watched it like four times this past week.

That's it in a nutshell. Colby and I are blessed beyond belief. We got way too many presents and are both stinkin' spoiled rotten. Off to snuggle with my sweet boy now, which is the BEST gift I could ever get. Merry Christmas fellow blog readers. Hope your holidays have been filled with much health and happiness.
