So.....Christmas pretty much sucked this year! I worked until 5:30 Christmas Eve and then went to my gma's for dinner and presents. I'm not one who enjoys change...if I could just go back to being 8yrs old that would be GREAT! So, since my gpa's been gone Christmas changes every year..and being the spoiled child that I am..I throw a fit every year. I HATE unwrapping gifts on xmas eve....that takes all of the excitement out of christmas morning! So...needless to say I was a bit bitchy when we unwrapped presents after dinner on friday night. So then we went home (my parents and I) and mom gave dad one of his presents and it pissed me off and so we exchanged all of our gifts at home too w/o even wrapping them. It kinda sucked! Then was midnight mass and then the ramada w/ Aud and Laura....that's right..I'm going to hell because I went to the ramada on baby Jesus' bday! So...I got home...wrapped gifts..for the kids...until about 530 then went to bed only to get up 3hrs later and go to my brother's. I did enjoy watching the kids unwrap and play w/ their toys but then..as I was taking a nap on the couch...my gma tripped on a step fell and broke her arm...so from 1230 to about 530 we sat in the ER. We finally got her home after they fitted her for a sling and gave her some vicadin(sp?). This made her throw up...A LOT! So..mom stayed the night with her only to call dad and I for help at 3am when she fell again getting up. She's better now but not great!
Also last night Tod Pickett died. I don't know if you know who that is but it's the guy we had the benefit chili supper and auction for. He died last night about 830. That really freakn sucks! My heart breaks for his kids..I just can't imagine..I'm 22 and I just can't imagine losing one of my parents....God..those poor babies...and I know they are no longer babies but I just want to hold them and make all of the bad go away. So..I had to rearrange my schedule so I could go to the viewing and funeral. I'm not sure which will be worse...going to Tod's funeral or going to see his 16 year old son , 10 year old daughter and wife who now is left to raise them alone. Sometimes I just don't understand! Anyway...I don't really have much good to say so I'm just going to end it year. Night all..hope your Christmas was better than mine and I hope we can all look forward to a hopeful new year!
