This has been one of my best Xmases ever--I know that I don't have to work on a "budget" immediately after the holidays, like every other year!! yeah! My H will spend money during the holidays like crazy but then he's all pissed about it later. Well this year it's just TOO BAD!!lol.
And I have been having a ball and SPENDING.lol. I tell my friends that next year may be lean, so enjoy!!
My H took us to Ice last night and it was soo fun. We go every year. Ice sculptures in 9 degree temps (in Florida, this is a treat.lol) and then off to a scrumptious buffet in the hotel, which is one of the nicest hotels I've ever seen.
H had an attitude before leaving--he called a few times during the day and I guess my new phone was off? or? I didn't answer and he was pissy. So then he was like, I'll take S 15 and we'll go (without me). I said, um, no--I have the tickets and you won't be getting them from me. So he started to have a cow and my S 15 is trying to talk to him, and reason with him about the phone thing, and my H is just being a jerk.
So S and I go outside and I tell him, let's just go somewhere you and I for a bit and let him cool off. He'll be fine if we show him we aren't afraid of him. But my S was afraid for me, and didn't want to do it. While we were outside H comes out and starts on us, and I tell him S doesn't want to go with him like this. So then H calms down and starts behaving.
So then we go and I am in a GREAT MOOD--my H is just not going to get me down--I am flirting with the "helpers" AND H, and just cutting up like ? I don't know what. Sometimes I wonder what has gotten into me!!
And at dinner I make H order a carafe of Snagria (my favorite). He is very amused by my antics, and is happy to oblige. We had a nice time reminiscing, joking, and being very silly. I don't know what that man is going to do without me some day--without me he is just such a STICK IN THE MUD!!lol.
For Xmas he has to work in the afternoon, and I'm going to the Gay Guys for some fun and then was thinking of going to the nursing home with some people from church with S. A great way to bring some real meaning to the holidays and visit people that may not have so much family.
The day after that we are going to my cousin's that I haven't seen in forever (because I was always off with my H's relatives over the holidays) and taking my S and meeting up with my sister. Always fun to see her!
My Stepmonster sent a card with her name stamped on it--nice. I have been told by everyone to contest the will. She did something shady and she doesn't want to be a part of our lives now because of the guilt. I tell you what, she sure is acting like she's done something--I may have to look into this after the holidays.
And my father in law is coming up to figure out a D agreement. I called them when their S (my H ) was behaving badly again--told him that when he does this from now on I'll be calling his parents.
Boy, this should be fun. H's parents don't want me to live in the trailer (with S) so I think his father will talk him into giving me a fair deal. Too bad he has to get involved (but thank GOD he will!!) My H is a piece of work and I think they feel bad--yea--D your W of 16 years and don't treat her right--so she has to live in a 600 square foot trialer with your S 15 because of your stingy, greedy nature and your sleazy L.
I told my father in law that H made a deal I didn't understand at all--and I thought his dad helped him with it, but apparently not. He said, "you need to feel comfortable with any deal you sign" I'm like "THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT!!" I don't think I'm so thick that I can't get things--but this "deal" was SO COMPLICATED!! And I could NOT sleep and figured I needed to just take my chances in court. H's dad wants to avoid this at all costs of course--thank GOD there is someone in that family with sense. Of course I have always like them a lot. They have to be loyal to their S of course, but I don't think they want to see me destroyed either.
I went to the feed store yesterday and was cutting up with the two girls there (my two favorites). They said--You are SO DIFFERNT and I was like ? huh?? They said they used to think I was this really nice but sad/quiet person that barely spoke when I went in and now I am so bubbly and fun!! I'm like--OMG!! I can't believe that this is ...like...noticeable!
(I swear, I feel "bubbly" inside my stomach ALL THE TIME!! It literally tickles me inside!!)
They said, you really don't see a difference in yourself?? And I said well...now that you mention it...there seems to be something that makes me laugh all the time or something.
Have a wonderful Christmas!!! (oh--H went shopping for me too.lol I asked for a new couch! think I got it??!)lol.
