Christmas
The holidays were wonderful this year. Christmas Eve was great. During the party the big hit for Aiden seemed to be a Thomas the Train toy that you push around and makes noise, it's also a flashlight. The art easel was also set up for viewing and play between gift giving. The kids had a blast and were a blast to put to bed that night.
Christmas morning started at 4:30am with Nick, Aiden, and me. I was so glad to have that happen. From 4:30 - 5:15am I had to play fishing with Aiden. Aiden got a kit from my sister with the fishing pole and magnetic fish. Nick was already assembling his model car and multi-tasked by opening every box from Christmas Eve expecting instantaneous assembly. Moira has yet to stop walking around with her new chair and blanket.
The big hits from Santa seemed to be The Shell Shocker for Nick, the Kitchen for Moira, and the Basketball net for Aiden. The dart guns seemed to be popular for everyone; although they don't really use the dart board. They'd rather shoot them down the hall or at each other. Don't worry, they're Nerf darts.
I guess that's it. I'm back to being my obsessive compulsive self and worrying about money. Jason's even taken my access to the budget away, but personally I think that's made it worse because I can't even just sit and look at the numbers. Now, I get to imagine everything. He says were fine and I know we are (somewhere in my brain), but I still feel this need to worry. Maybe there's just nothing more important in my life to worry about right now. So, I've chosen to worry about money. No, I worry about other things too; like my mother-in-law moving, my sister, my mother, the kids with school, Jason, but money seems to always win my attention. Dude that sucks! Time to go take my happy pill.
