Christmas 2010
Christmas Eve starts in a just a few hours. Barrett is sleeping for the night after a day of strange napping and a little more fussiness than usual. We went for a walk in our new Winnie the Pooh umbrella stroller. Grandpa walked him around the neighborhood a couple times. The boys just finished a game of Stratego. Janet's talking with her friend Jeannie on the phone drinking a beer. Borat was just on TV.
I didn't get Andy anything for Christmas. I feel bad. He says it's okay because he doesn't need anything. Well, I don't need anything either, but he got me DVDs (I already know because he left them out on his bed unwrapped.)
I'm excited to see what Barrett's getting for Christmas. I'm going to buy a few things from the BX for him when we get back.
I wonder how Ginger's doing. I was going to call Suzanne to check on her and ask if she could put that loaf of bread in the freezer (I bought it to bring it on the trip and then forgot it).
We drove here, leaving home Sunday night and arriving in Phoenix about 22 hours later. Buffy not like. Barrett and I have decided we want to make going home a two-day trip. I can't believe we've been here three days already and have hardly done anything but eat, play with Barrett, play video games, watch TV and movies. BORING. But we plan on being here another week and a half, so maybe we'll get something fun in.
My mom's got a bad cold, so she's been home from work a couple days and will probably miss all the family festivities this weekend. Amanda is helping her out tonight with groceries though, so at least she's not totally alone. Mom told me today that she was interviewed regarding a lung transplant. Apparently they want to do a colonoscopy, mammogram, and pap smear, maybe a heart cath...I think before she's officially on a list? I wish she pursued this transplant a few years ago. Her whole body has taken quite a toll from her emphysema. She'll be 57 in Feb...so young, right? But she won't last much longer if she keeps these lungs.
DIdn't mean to end this post on a bad note. Just wanted to write about the news. Kinda feel blah emotionally right now. But it's also almost bedtime. We're gonna have a long day tomorrow full of people. I'm going to give Barrett a bath in the morning--probably just a sponge bath because it's probably not going to be very warm in the house. Then we'll head out around noon. Visiting the Manns first, then to the family's shindig, then church I think, then possibly the Gallas' before heading back home for the night. Wonder if the red "first Christmas" outfit will fit Barrett...
