Cheeky Sweetie

Not a bad day, really.  Except for how freakishly close I came to have the Burning Bed happening in my room thanks to a wonky outlet behind my bed, and the amazing laptop that randomly shuts itself down without warning.  Oh, and the puss The Ex wore before he passed out on my mother’s loveseat this morning. Not sure what that was about, but at least FAKE like you’re happy I invited you to be there for Christmas morning with your girls, mmm’kay?

But otherwise, all was well.  The kids were thankful for the few things they got from us, which was nicely supplemented by extended family.  I had a great time visiting with my mom in her place, and enjoyed the company of my cousin and her husband Christmas Eve for our big dinner.  Their daughter plays SO well with my girls that we adults can just relax and enjoy the flow of conversation.  Even Christian wasn’t being an ass, a Christmas miracle in itself.

I’m missing some important people in my life tonight…friends both old and new, family far and near, and someone very special to me.  But I’m thankful that they are safe and well wherever they are, and I look forward to seeing them all sometime soon.

Merry Christmas.  I hope your holiday was filled with laughter and both the sharing and making of memories.
