Well, the Holidays are Winding Down

The holidays are winding down. I think I've gotten through pretty well. I spent time with my family and friends and didn't let myself get too stressed out. Even when someone tried to bring me down by interrupting my Christmas morning with a text message, I didn't let it bother me. And then I got a laugh to know that she's still contacting my husband to let him know how special he is to her, although she's engaged and living with a guy. How much lower can a person get? He may be divorcing me and that may make me sad, but I also know that I won't jump into the arms (and bed) of another guy and then attempt to cheat on him with my ex. I know who I am, and I know what I want, and I also know that I can't always get what I want. Things will go my way, the way they are meant to be, whether I want it or not. In the meantime, I am just going to have to enjoy myself with what I've got and not be bothered by the lesser people. Using part of what someone else recently said, I'm not going to let a "circle-jerk of f-ing white trash" get me down. :) Trash is there for a reason. It's to be shoveled all together in a big pile so that the rest of us don't have to see it mixed into our world.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I had an awesome couple days of Christmas this week. Saturday I celebrated with my family on my stepmom's side. We stayed at the Novi Sheraton and had a terrific time visiting family, eating good food, playing the gift exchange game and just hanging out. When we woke up on Sunday morning, about 30 of us headed to Big Boy together. On Christmas Eve we celebrated with my dad and stepmom and siblings at Tina and Sandi's place. Tina prepared a delicious dinner and again we enjoyed each other's company and exchanged some really nice gifts. My girls and I went to the 10 o'clock candlelight church service before calling it a night.

Christmas morning and day were my favorite. Ella had me awake a lot at night. Of course that wasn't my favorite, but when she kept insisting she could hear Santa Claus and he was waking her, it was so darn cute. The girls woke me and Brian up at around 9 to get to the gifts. Santa brought Brianna a new Nikon camera and Ella got a dollhouse. Then we gave them the gifts from us. They got games, puzzles, dolls, and so much more. I got an absolutely beautiful pair of diamond earrings that I love, as well as an assortment of pj's and boots and more. After the girls gave Brian and I our gifts, my mom came by to give gifts too. Later in the day I took the girls to their grandparents' house and then after that we went to my grandparents' house. It was a lot to do in one day, but neither me nor the girls had any problems. My girls were terrific. They expressed thanks for everything and didn't come across disappointed in anything.

Overall, I feel this Christmas was great! I hope yours was as good!

I was thinking of getting a t-shirt made

I was thinking of getting a tshirt made, but then again, only a few would be in on the joke.  Anyway, for those that might have called me frumpy, in the past, I'll take it.  But, know that I am fabulous too! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to My Friends and Family, and My Reading Community!

So, that being said, you can stop reading so that you aren't angered about anything that you don't need to bother your pretty little head with :P Buddy's 4-ever! ;) lmao

Saw this and thought it was funny and actually applies to someone that reads my blog still. You know who you are!

Christopher Paul Curtis

My friends and I met the author Christopher Paul Curtis this passed Monday. We saw his presentation and then stuck around for his book signing. Great presenter, great author. When it was over we went for dinner at Bahama Breeze. Good food, good drinks!

Weekend fun

I had a great weekend! Friday i stayed in with the girls and just hung out here watching tv and playing computers. On Saturday I had a big errand day; take Ella to dance, drop her off to her dad, go to physical therapy, pick up Bri for therapy, bring her back to her dad, go Christmas shopping with my mom and then come home to get ready to go out. (As if you really care about the play by play details.) That night we had drinks at the new California Pizza Kitchen, dinner at PF Chang's, and then headed out to Rochester Mills brewery to see Boogie Dynamite. Michele and Paul met us there. I had so much fun that night; probably one of my best nights. After church on Sunday I took the girls for our traditional Big Boy brunch and them brought them home to their dad. And then the greatest thing of all happened. I finished off the Christmas shopping and even wrapped up the gifts! Yeah me!

Sucky Day

I have been feeling a bit down again. I wish it wasn't like this. The holidays are here and it sucks. I try so hard to act happy with the hope I can be happy again soon. Brian and I have still been talking but the last 2 days he's been talking less. I got a bit nosy and looked at his phone yesterday and he got mad. That is probably what started his new attitude toward me. So, now he's treating me differently again. It's just so hard facing this divorce when I don't want it. Also this house is also proving to be quite a challenge. The market sucks so badly that the house is worth less than we owe on it. So two companies have told me they can't help me and now I am focusing on the credit union. So far it looks like they will be able to do something but I will need money to close. As if I have money anywhere to give. So financially this all sucks as bad as it does emotionally.

Wrenched Neck, Ouch!

So, I wrenched my neck again! I've been going to physically therapy every week since April for my neck and I thought it was healed. Boy, was I wrong. I moved the wrong way and now I've been hardly able to move my neck for 2 days. My girls have been great this weekend, helping me out so much. I'm on a muscle relaxer and a darvocet which is the only reason I can even sit here long enough to type this entry. Hopefully I can get through tomorrow alright. I"ve got work and then after school we are doing the investiture for the girl scouts.

Adrianna's Surgery

Turns out Adrianna has migraines, so they sent her home with some meds to help. Although migraines are sucky, at least it wasn't her hydrocephalus!
