Christmas was okay. I am glad it is over. H came and picked up kids on Christmas Eve he brought me a bamboo plant and said it was for Good Luck. Then he said if I was still feeling a crappy as I said I was he handed me a bottle of "super detox"..told me it should help clean all the S**t out of me!!! So he was trying to be funny!!!!
Later he brought over a card and a card from the kids with a spa gift certificate in it. I felt bad because I didn't buy him anything, not even from the kids. But over all I was just glad it was over. I ended up in a fight with my mom, because my H gave her a card and a small gift, and I noticed she purposefully waited until he got there to go upstairs so she didn't have to say Hi, and then went back upstairs when he returned the kids. I gave her the card and she rolled her eyes. I said what is that for, at least he is trying to be nice. She said she was mad /c she thought the kids should have been at her house Christmas Eve.. Well that about did it for me. My H and I did the best we could trying to figure out when who was going to get the kids. My S has to go to his bio-fathers on Christmas day so we figured he would take Christmas Eve then and he even brought them home that night. And I would have Christmas Day.
Well that wasn't good enough for my mom. I said it was hard enough as it was on me, I really didn't need her making it worse. And of course it would have been nice if they were there C.E. but that just isn't how it works. They have to go sometime and it worked out best that way. If I would have had them gone on Christmas Day then that would have been a problem.
Here I kind of felt like my H was being nice and giving a gift to her just to say Merry christmas and she couldn't even say Hi. Then she kept telling me how my brother wouldn't be around to see my S.. and I said well I am sorry..he has 3 different houses he has to be at and if he can't be here to see him when he is here I can't do anything about it. But she made sure to make remarks several more times.
I couldn't get out of there fast enough today. She has always done this to me my whole life. Everything has to be her way and if it isn't then we all hear about it, but she doesn't see it that way. I am really getting tired of trying to please everyone.
So I am home now, no kids. just by myself for the next 3 days. I have no plans and I don't have a clue what I want to do.
Took my D to the movies yesterday to see Marley and Me. Good movie but depressing. My H texted me and says he wants to talk about his sister. She is going through a D as well right now. She has 6 kids. You may or may not remember I mentioned her when I talked abt how my H got mad at me for telling the kids she was pregnant again. Well apparently there is some drama going on and he wants to set up an account for her. So he is supposed to call me today about that, he wants my input.
Also, I contacted a relator and got info in mail on Christmas Eve..told H looks like values of homes in area are down, so we probably won't get what we want for house. This sucks because I was hopeing to walk away with more so we could split it and we both would have money for down payments on new places...This is what led to him buying the bamboo btw. Anyway he sends be text telling me we can figure something out and we can wait until the market is better to sell. No need to see right away. Not sure what he is thinking, because if I move I am moving when kids get out of school. My S will start H.S. next year and I want to move before that. And I would need to sell this house first. So I am not sure what is big plan is..can't wait to find out!!!
