We are almost set for Christmas. I started early this year. I knew I needed to make it special for Shelbie because her dad is going to seriously crap out on her. He told her that he wouldn't be able to afford Christmas for her this year. The ignorant part is that he told her this as he and his Sasquatch were driving back from a weekend get-a-way in Branson. Yeah, here's a thought tard, spend some money on your daughter. Oh well. she knew it would happen. She's been sad about it but I know she will make it thru it. I wish he'd fall off the face of the earth. He's around just about enough to upset her.
Since she hasn't been around him and his wife, her grades and attitude have been great. She's been really involved in friends and in the community. She's been in the paper twice and on the news once. She's doing fine until he pops in and pops out. She knew this was coming from him for Christmas and it hurts her.
TJ still has no job to my knowledge. I still hold out hope that he will eventually do something great. I wish he'd get out of that house. The place is toxic. Every now and then His dad for some reason takes it upon himself to talk to me. I try not to vomit, but ugh! Recently he's talked about what a loveless marriage he has and how he never even tells her he loves her and so forth. no cuddles, no hugs. So weird. I asked him why he didn't leave and he says he doesn't have the money. I'd rather die than live like that. Like I said... toxic. I hope TJ doesn't end up like his dad. He's smarter than that.
Morgan and I are fantastic. We've been driving each other crazy teasing about what we got each other for Christmas! I was sly this year and had stuff delivered to work. Heee heee! Yeah, he peeks! I see you looking in that bag, Mogo!! lol
We got our Christmas tree up. It's beautiful. I love it. we all three set it up and had hot chocolate and stuff. It's tradition! I miss TJ for those things. :(
We baked christmas cookies and wrapped presents tonight. Shelbie is going to ice the cookies tomorrow. Things have been really good. I'm sad that Shelbie is hurting about her dad but we have enough love for her!
