Wow! I can't even believe that in 7 days I'll be in Vegas... There is just too much going on and part of me would rather stay home and settle down before this trip - but it won't happen.
So speaking of Christmas - everyone has their story right? Well how shall I begin - OK when was the last time I was at a loss for words???
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring except... sorry! wrong story.
Christmas Eve as usual was crazy. Which I don't mind, I actually like a little craziness - for a change people were nice to each other and everyone seemed to smile more. Well except for at home, where my law and order husband awaited with his list. Everything needed to go according to plan, which of course did not happen. I think he was confused when he married me, thought he could change me, yeah right. So it goes the normal activities: meal, church, kids to bed. Get ready for Santa and then out for the night. Christmas day had it's share of surprises enjoyed a wonderful breakfast with neighbours and then packed out sleigh, er van and headed on our way. Off to the North Pole, oh I mean Saskatoon to spend the next four days and three nights with the in-laws. Well the recreation director (Mother in Law) was in fine form, ready with the first meal of the many fattening days to come. After enjoying a very quick drink the food was presented and enjoyed by all. Day 2, all the immediate family draws near opens presents and gifts from Santa (he get's around more than my college friends)we drink, eat and drink some more. Ahh and here I sit. After coaxing my youngest to bed at midnight I sit and ponder the days behind and to come. The noise in the kitchen has finally stopped, I have often wondered if my Mother In Law ever slept. Last night my youngest asked me if Santa would come because she could hear the sounds of a diner (my Mother In Law in the kitchen) I told her they would go to bed soon - when she woke up she could hear the same sounds, she said "Mom they didn't go to sleep". It was the cutest thing!
So I have the big family Christmas thing tomorrow and then the madness ends for another year. You must understand I love people and my in laws but for an only child this gets stressful. We always stay with my in-laws and this means I have no space of my own... hold on one more day.
Every now and then I must get that far away look when I think about the fun we'll have in Vegas. And then there are other moments when I just would like an hour or two to myself at home with a good book.... Does this make any sense? It's 1:30 am and I better get to sleep!!!!
