Waking up at five in the evening, regardless if it's from a nap, is not fun. The sun was gone when I groggily stumbled out of bed and it hurt.
Corey and Elvira were supposed to be here this morning at nine-ish. Of course, they did not arrive until eleven-ish. Elvira did call, however, to let my mother and I know that they would be late. I'm going to chalk this one up to Corey. My guess is that, regardless of his deep "depression", he went out last night, got drunk, and was hungover this morning, thus preventing him from waking up on time.
I honestly can't even stand being in the same room as Corey.
At least Azura enjoyed the company. Elvira brought Christmas presents and Azura got to tear through them. She recieved a Little Mommy doll, a Little Mommy tricycle, and a Play-Doh Creativity Table from Corey's relatives in Chicago. She already had the Little Mommy doll, but seemed thrilled about the new one nonetheless. Elvira gave Azura three pairs of pajamas, a Dora the Explorer bath doll, an electronic Dora the Explorer toy, a Dora the Explorer video, a My First Leap Pad, and a Leap Pad book.
And what did Corey get his daughter for Christmas this year? Nothing, as far as I know, although Elvira did sign his name on a Christmas card.
After Azura had opened all of the presents, my mother and I ran to The Dollar Store to get batteries for Azura's Leap Pad. I picked up a few stocking stuffers for Azura; a necklace and bracelet set, a princess crown and matching wand, and some really cute hair accessories.
After our trip to The Dollar Store, Corey and Elvira hesitantly took me up on my offer to let the two of them take Azura out. I had told Corey last night that I would move Azura's car seat out of my car and into Elvira's since he has not purchased a car seat, yet I ended up letting Elvira drive my car as I was too tired to do it.
Corey and Elvira left around three in the afternoon and my mother departed for Little Rock shortly after. It's been just myself and Azura, as usual, for the evening, minus a visit from my father. Laura was here for a while, but I didn't really notice as she stayed in her room with Andy almost the whole time.
After only two new entries, it has become apparent to me that the real focus of writing in this journal again is to convince myself that I do, in fact, do things. And I thought I just needed to "get my feelings out". I need a social life.
