themeletorI'm a little dazed, but that's nothing new. Somehow wound up with presents (mercifully slight ones) despite my late November request that they all be returned -- most were bought on super-duper clearance (see $3.00 Batman tee) and therefore couldn't be. Returned, that is.
Christmas Eve party last night was probably one of the best we've had; the kids (who took a separate car so we could leave early if Vivs or Pidge started to get cranky) actually wound up staying a couple hours after the parents left (mum's eye was being a bitch). We (the nuclear family: me, Pidge, Vivs, and the parents) have a history of sort of being the outsiders at these family affairs, but recently things have been changing. Some compromises and reaching out from both sides. It's good.
There's a whole score of ridiculous and very amusing stuff that I've missed while being away from this brood and I think I'll just keep to myself, and. Merry Christmas.
I still have so much to do.
