hohohofuckingho I let the kids open their gifts on late Christmas eve. They were all happy with the things they recieved. I think Josh got the most but it may have been even cus the girls didn't carry on. Trust me they all scrutinize one anothers haul. Perhaps I just found Joshua's presents more interesting. He got a telescope, microscope and all the fixing for it. Petri dishes, samples of things to put on the slides provided etc. I found it fascinating, shame he did not. Yesterday I woke up with a killer migraine, I was not going to let it ruin Christmas though. I stayed in bed til the last possible second, then took my shower and we went to the ex in-laws house about 100 miles away. They loved the hand painted water goblets and Estee Lauder perfume set that we gave them. They gave each of us $50 and a small gift. Mine was a pair of ceramic salt and pepper shakers. Steve also got a set of salt and pepper shakers, which later after returning to the house, he donated to Lisa's hope chest. Lisa got the Chicago dvd, Joshua the Xmen2 dvd, Heather the Finding Nemo dvd, and they also gave us all the Pirates of the Carribean dvd. I had given Joshua 3 dvds, The Scorpian King, Matrix Reloaded and The hulk. (Actually Amy gave him the hulk). Heather also got the dvd "What a girl wants" and Amy gave her tapes of American Pie 1 & 2. On the way home from the ex-inlaws, the lights in oncoming traffic were making me sick as a dog. I asked as we arrived in our hometown to be taken for a shot. I had braved all of xmas day with this migraine. So we diverted much to everyones dismay. They were all pissed I had waited and not gone in the early morning. Sheesh, I was trying to give them a nice holiday, and I thought I managed very well. Well in the ER there was standing room only. Everyone in there seemed to be afflicated with the flu... ugh. It took 2 hours just to be called into triage. Once that was over though the rest was quick. I saw a Dr in no time and he sent a male nurse in with three shots for me and a prescription. Two shots went into my upper left leg. I now walk like Quasi Moto. It fucking hurt, big time. I insisted the third shot go into my right hip, you know lets spread the pain a little. I didnt think I could handle another one in my leg, muchless my other leg. I wouldnt be able to walk then. Literally I left dragging my leg behind me. It still hurts like a bitch today. Today I woke up with a fever, congestion and general all around malaze. Undoubtedly something I caught from one of the people hacking up lungs in the ER last night. Bah. The kids are annoying me to no end today, wanting to go spend their $50. Each has pretty much no plans in particular for their money except Heather. But all of them are acting like it is burning a hole in their pockets. Ohhhhhhhhh on Christmas eve I got a great card and picture from Chicagojo. It was very cool. Thanks jo! I am going to crawl into bed, under my duvet and hope to sleep til the new year, thusly, I hope everyone had a nice holiday. |
