Well, Christmas has been awesome. Aside from making sure that:
1. presents purchased and wrapped
2. stocking crap purchased and stuffed in stockings
3. an entire grocery stores worth of food transported to our house
4. cooking and delivering treats to home teachees, visiting teachees, a few neighbors,
5. a fun ornament making party for Ethan and the cousins (instead of gingerbread houses)
6. X-mas breakfast (cinnamon rolls and sausage) and X-mas dinner (steak and shrimp) and gluten free bread and pancakes for Breanne
7. Forcing Brandon to shop online the after Christmas sales for his gifts from us(clothing). I was on my phone and computer, he was in his apt. on same, we coordinated , I ordered - took HOURS. Still, way better than arguing and dragging ourselves around the stores, and the deals, people, the deals! How will he ever manage to look like a DI reject hobo now?
OTHER than the above, it's been easy street around here! TV (assorted holiday specials), internet, books (The Lost Hero by Rick Riodan - more fun interesting than the Percy Jacksons) movies: (Despicable Me, Tangled, Unstoppable) games, Oh my! Monday Roger took Ethan ice fishing with Uncle Lamar, and today they are skiing. I am HOME ALONE, ooh baby (fist pumping).
Did you know that Pandora will cut you off after 40 hours? Holiday folk music channel, you are my heart and soul. Hence, I am going one last time through my own Xmas CD's today, before I cut myself off, cold turkey. The inmates here, they are rebelling.
We spent a pretty penny this year on the BEST thing: Phillips Sonicare toothbrushes with UV sanitizer and Orabrush tongue scrubbers for the whole family. They Rock!!! ( I really wanted to capitalize rock, but I may be overdoing it.) ((will work on my overuse of parenthesis later)) My mouth has that "just back from the dentist" sensation of so very, very clean, slick and kinda sore. I have the breath of a crisp pine tree forest in winter. I'd kiss ya, but then I'd get germs in my mouth.

I just walked by the front room, now the Christmas tree room, where I saw Ethan curled up on a chair, reading. Reading what he just found on the bookshelves, titled: How babies are made. I see conversations in my future.
Moon has decided that Toby must not be going anywhere, so she had better work a little harder to get hers. Consequently, she is haunting me around the house and rubbing up against my leg every second that Toby isn’t in sight. Formerly pretty quiet, she’s much more “meowy” and “keyboard jumpy” now that there is (apparently) a scarcity of loving attention. Maybe she has a point, because I’m trying to type this with Toby in my lap – which is not MY idea!
Last Sunday we had gotten subs for our classes, because we were going to a nephew’s (Morgan Stanley) mission farewell. But Roger woke up with a migraine, and proceeded to barf for the next 4 hours. At one point he PASSED OUT! So I called the instacare to see if they had something to help him (I was thinking pain meds and Phenergan) but they said if he had passed out they didn’t want him and we should go the ER. He wouldn’t go, so I gave him the “one more time” ultimatum, and that must have done the trick. He finally held down the ibuprofen, slept for 3 hours, wobbled to the couch to weep through Hachi, A Dogs Tale with us, then went to choir practice, tithing settlement, a meeting with the councelors, and by the end of the day was running around the lawn after Ethan. Sheesh.
But now I know there’s an instacare open on Sunday’s in Orem, and Phenergan suppository’s are a prescription item that I need to get my hands on and keep on hand.
So here we are a week later, and to keep on with a theme – Ethan woke up yesterday at 4 in the buttcrackadon, and proceeded to keep us advised on how bad his stomach felt, until he finally barfed about 7 am. He was livid when I made him go back to bed after that, and we all slept till noon. OOOOOOhhh yeah!
I’ve been Christmassing, knitting, reading Gregor the Underlander series, and my whole house looks like this.
Cluttered, misplaced, piled up, shoved, procrastinated, high enough that Toby can't chew on it. At least the man is cute! And the Christmas tree is pretty.
