Holiday Greetings
This will be my holiday entry as we are leaving next Tuesday to go to San Diego for Christmas. We spend Christmas Eve with my family. My mom will be there I haven't seen her since May. Then we watch Gary's BIL's family open their gifts on Christmas day and we will have the boys open their gifts from Santa. Then we have our Christams with Gary's family on that Saturday and we will come home Sunday for the boys visits on Monday. This week has been kind of hectic. Gary had surgery on Monday and so it has been me and the boys although my MIL has helped. I did get some sleep last night and hopefully they will sleep tonight. Gary comes home tomorrow, but he isn't supposed to lift more than 20 and both boys are probably pretty close.Not much going on with the boys. I have talked to A's mom two times now. She said that she has been out of her house for the past two years. Personally I think that girl is not all there not to be mean, but just the way she acts and talks makes me think that something is wrong with her. I did find out that we don't go to court for A until April that seems a lifetime away, but I am sure it will be here before we know it. Not that I feel that I have wasted time if we loose both boys just invested time and emotion. I am glad that Jan 2 is fast approaching though, one more hurdle. M bio mom is a real peach. The comments she makes. I had to reschedule both boys visits since DH had surgery. She was like well I want to make sure that you can make it. After I had just said any day would be fine to reschedule. Did you not hear me? She still has not brought the outfit she said she was going to bring over a month ago. Then she asked if she could bring me a camera to take Christmas pics. She had asked Dh at court. So she asked again and then said she forgot it at home. I am thinking it won't show up. I will be very surprised if it does. The funny thing is, the visit was supposed to be today and bio mom couldn't make it so now it is Wednesday after she was so concerned I wouldn't make it. I felt like saying no I couldn't make it on Wednesday, but I didn't, I am way to nice sometimes all the time. Well, I am going to go and finish cleaning the house and wrapping gifts since the boys are actually asleep.
Everyone have a wonderful Christmas.
Kim
