It's Christmas here today. Kept DD out of school. She is opening her stocking right now. Gifts at noon!

Divine Geek · Guru

She was quite excited about her day off. Have lots of fun

2 year old was up at 530. She doesn't understand that it's Christmas break. Our elf hid candy canes for the girls last night and now she's having one for breakfast. I don't even care.

Ikwtds, your DD isn't on break yet?! I thought we got out late..

My boys have been known to have brownies and cake for breakfast. Lately I've been able to get them to eat scrambled eggs. It's a Christmas miracle.

Really, if they don't see anything they want to eat, they can just go up and brush their teeth. I figure they're not hungry.

Waiting for the maids to arrive then after they're done, I can do my grocery shopping. I decided I'll just make a meatloaf in the crockpot Christmas day. Whip up a couple sides and veggies and call it a day. And pie. DH said we must eat pie.

Ok, I'm trying really hard not to be upset about this. My sister complains about the bed in their room here (God forbid she would just suck it up like a normal person). So my mom decides she wants to switch out the mattress with the one I have in storage from my spare room. Well, my dad got the wrong one. He brought up MY bed. My nice bed I love and haven't used in 3 years because I don't want to be difficult and ungrateful. And no, I won't say anything to my dad, because again, I don't want to be a problem. Merry Christmas to me.

Oh, no, no, no. Put the bed you are using in there and take your bed back.

Her guest bed is horrible. Not the bed so much, but the pillows. I barely sleep when I'm there and when I do sleep, my neck is all out of whack. But I'm a normal, considerate person and I suck it up. Her shower is also horrible. They have no water pressure and I have to share a bathroom with my nephew who has a mickey Mouse shower head that makes it even worse somehow. Seriously, they spend less than 10 nights a year in that bed. You would think she would deal with it and be happy they don't have to sleep on the couch or get a hotel.

It's almost Christmas day, I have so much to do and so little time..

Just got back from the grocery store.

Fingers crossed that I didn't forget anything.

Next, some laundry and cleaning.

Have a good day, everyone! smile

I wish my brother would come and complain about the bed. Even I know he would never complain. I just wish he would come.

My whole family is being negative and cranky. Dd8 is not listening and just making not great decisions. Dd2 is tired and irritable. DH is being negative and no fun.

And I'm over it. I'm trying to not throw a pity party. I've put so much work into making the holidays fun and trying to do family things and no one is cooperating!

Thanks for reading my vent.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Hey, ya'll.

Need to declutter the kitchen cabinets and vacuum the living room, I think there's a couple loads of laundry, but that's it.

It's supposed to be 70 Christmas day.

I'm thinking we may do burgers on the grill instead of the traditional meal.

I've been there, had 9 people who couldn't stand to be in the same room with themselves, much less anyone else.

I packed the kids up, all 5 and they were between 3 and 7, and we found a park.

Are you able to be outside?

Another time, I took them to a museum, it was too cold outside.

Just suggestions.

NAOW · Vette's SS

Thanks Lily :) I'm going to have everyone take a nap and hope that helps.

FNW · Guru

I'm making meatloaf on Christmas. It's supposed to be 50 degrees. I'll put it together tomorrow and plop it in the crockpot Christmas morning. It's just the 6 of us. Making a breakfast casserole, fruit, toast and cinnamon rolls for breakfast to go with our mimosas.

We finally wrapped all the gifts last night and put them under the tree. There is a lot less under there than I thought there was. :\

Awe, that is so frustrating.

Been there several times. I sent the kids to grandma's when that happened for us. DH just got ignored.

Hope the day improves after a nap for everyone.

Sometimes, less is better.

I have forcibly stopped myself from buying more this year.

FNW · Guru

I warned the boys that now that they are older, there will be fewer gifts because gifts are more expensive. And they are getting a lot of clothing.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Hmmmpp, we just finished unwrapping our gifts. My SS was awesome to me. Will take pics later. SOMEONE gave me what I thought was Russel Stover candy, but there was no candy in the box.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Well. It WAS pleasant.

Mom come home in a mood.

Again.

You should never assume that what the box says is what's in there. Besides, didn't someone else bring you candy?

That is what I was going to say too. It's your bed take it back!

I am sorry some of you are having stressful frustrating holiday issues. I am going to get comfy & watch a bunch of Hallmark Christmas movies with some adult beverages. The only thing I need to do is make potatoes for Christmas dinner.

That's a good idea. But easier said than done. My bedroom is in the basement. It would be a total pain to get the bed down there and switched out. Which is why I haven't suggested doing that My parents are now out buying a new bed frame because the that was in that room doesn't fit my mattress.

Divine Geek · Guru

I'm still royally annoyed at my sister. But my mood is improving. My bickering parents went shopping and I got tacos. I'm now munching tacos and wrapping my dad's gifts to my mom. I wish there was a TV in this room, I'd put on the Santa Clause.

DG I know you don't want to make waves but I'd put me foot down on the comfy bed. Comfy mattresses are hard to find & expensive. Just say a mistake was made & that is your personal bed. Sorry we need to put it back or downstairs & bring over the other one.

I just treated myself to $20 worth of the most awesome help!
A friend has been out of work since August (and her hubby
since June). I know money is tight, so I asked if she could
give me two hours of help, straightening up the dining room
and the island in the kitchen. She was MAGNIFICENT!!!!!
She's also going to come next Wednesday, and help clean
up other parts of the house. If I try to vacuum, it throws
my back out for days - and forget about trying to mop the
kitchen or bathroom floors. I'll help her and she'll help me!

Honeys_Mom · Mod & Permanent Board Sweetheart

And Momala scores!!

Wish you lived closer, I would have her come over here next!

And I seem to be sick, snot flowing non stop. Sorry TMI.

Honeys Mom ~
I sure did score! She's ex-Air Force, and so particular
about where everything goes! I just wish I knew someone
who was hiring, for both her and her hubby.

She taught me a new way to store my t-shirts. What used
to fit in two dresser drawers, now fits in one drawer! And
I can tell immediately which shirt I'm picking!

How is moving it more of a pain than buying a new bed? Just TELL them if they are going to play musical beds, you want yours back.

Divine Geek · Guru

Pretty much the only way to get anything large into the basement is through the outside door, which isn't ideal in this weather. It would also necessitate clearing a path through the living room area and rearranging the bedroom to accommodate the larger bed. I don't have the time nor the energy for that. My dad got a new frame at Walmart and has it set up. Am I happy about it? Not in the least. But I'll deal with it because I'm not going to be a VSS jerk about it.

For the record, the bed I do currently have is just fine. I have no complaints about it. I have never suggested switching the beds, I just didn't want them to use it. Which is actually rather childish of me.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

I hate when DS drives back to Ohio. It is a long drive and I worry, will worry all night.

Tignanello · My dog name is, Sasha!

Meh. Doesn't sound VSS at all. It's yours that you like. Switch 'me out, I say!

Also, no internet for Christmas. Should I spend Christmas Day at McDs?
