Still here

I'm back. Christmas was ok. Luckily it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Though I did have to take care of 5 children most of the time. An 8 y/o girl, a 6 y/o boy, a 5 y/o boy, a 3 y/o girl, and a 6 m/o boy. The older kids weren't much trouble but the 3 y/o and 6 m/o were a handful. Mostly because their parent's would just set them in front of me and go somewhere else. It just goes to show that when my husband and I do have kids, I'll know how to handle it. We got to eat Christmas dinner outside.

Christmas Eve service at my brother-in-law's church was ok. When they started singing Christmas carols, my eyes watered up. Luckily they didn't sing Hark the herald angels sing. I would have lost it and started bawling. My husband, his two brothers, one of my sisters-in-law and I played our yearly game of trivial pursuit. It was girls against guys and for the first time, they won. I think it's because it was two against three and the sister-in-law that didn't come was the one that usually knew a lot. For Christmas, my husband and I got a digital picture frame from his dad. I also got some facial cleansers, bath brush, essential oils, and a robe from my sister-in-law. I should be getting a card from my dad this week or next week. Hopefully he's sending some money. We actually each got a $50 check from his mom. It was a surprise. I've got a cold/ear infection/sinus infection. I went to a walk in clinic today and got some meds to help with it. I still feel like crap though. Hopefully things will start clearing up tomorrow. Time to go watch tv or play some video games.
