Our Christmas was mildly boring and very eventful. First, I just have to vent. I am not cool with the way we spend Christmas. First, Simon ALWAYS gets up early to the point where I think I married a 4 year old. Then we head over to his parent's house for lunch at 1:00(that turns into 2:00 by the time the food is finally cooked). Then we come back home so I can take a nap ( I DEMANDED a nap this year). Then we turn around and go back to his parent's house at about 5:30 so other family members can come for dinner. Does this seem stupid to anyone else????!!!! Two meals aside couldn't we just have lunch at 3:00 and then stay over until dinner???
When we went back over to his parent's house there was a storm on the horizon and lots of lightening. We sat out on their back patio watching it roll past. Well until the funnel cloud started to form over the house. Like a good midwesterner we stood outside filming with the iphone. Then the temperature dropped drastically. I suggested we go inside quickly and they started to argue. Then patio furniture took off Wizard of Oz style and everyone went inside.
It started to rain. Then marble size hail and then golf ball size hail. I had a white Christmas after all. It hailed and hailed and hailed. It hailed for a good 10-15 minutes which I think is highly unusual. Then it rained and rained and rained. The people behind Simon's parent's flooded.
Then we started to worry about our house. As we leave to check out our house the power goes out. Then we can't get into our house now. Simon took my house key off my keys and all I had was an electric garage door opener. We walked around the house to check the windows and went back. Have you ever had to entertain a 5 year old and 8 year old without toys, electricity or the ability to play outside? It's not fun!! I just kept focusing on my favorite present. My hubby got me some fantastic presents. My favorite by far was my Tiffany&Co. key. Only 3 years of hinting and some blatant pointing out in the store finally did the trick.
Here is a fun fact I found out on Christmas Eve as I was doing some last minute shopping. Simon's cousin had another baby 6 weeks ago. How the hell did anyone not think to tell us?! So we had some last minute baby/Christmas present shopping to do. I was sooooooo not okay with this. Number one... I just love when people say comments like "she was a total accident" etc. like having another child is an act of terrorism. Number two...I HATE HAATE HAAAATEEEEE shopping on Christmas Eve. Stores and malls are freaking NUTS! Which was just the right recipe for me to lose my tiny mind.
Before we left we walked into the grocery store to grab a few items. I was picking out cherries and I sent Simon to get bread. This involved him walking straight back from where I was to the back wall. I could see the bread from where I was. I got my cherries and walked to the bread. No Simon. I looked around the rest of the fruit and veggie area. No Simon. About a bizillion other people and their psychotic offspring but no Simon. I walked to the next aisle to see if he was there. NO SIMON!!! I stood next to the bread just mere seconds from hyperventilating. I was trapped by people and shopping carts. Just as I was about to cry Simon finally appeared with the bread. Apparently he was in all the places I looked but just never saw him. Go figure!
Can I just say how excited I am to get started with the baby making again?!
