You could come here and party with my H's divorce lawyer!
I am now trying to get myself motivated to go out in the cold and freezing rain/snow to do a little bit of Christmas shopping. I was motivated until I saw the weather....
I would love to come to CA - the shopping alone, not to mention the weather, has to be better than where I am....
I'm so sorry that you have your kids for such a limited amount of time over the next few weeks. My H wants to trade a weekend with me around Christmas but I don't want to be without them for two weeks in a row...but I also want him to be flexible with me should I ever need it.
