Holiday Madness attempt #2
You would think I would be able to update since I am on vacation! Unfortunately it is actually harder to be at home! First, I have 2 little guys always wanting my attention and/or wanting to play with the keyboard. Secondly, I am weaning AJ off the bottle and he is having a lot of difficulty with this major transition. He is basically not taking naps unless he cries himself to sleep... and not just simple crying, but wailing "I want bottle".. On top of that Christmas Eve morning I took Mio to the doctor who diagnosed him with pneumonia (sp?)!! AGGGGHHH...
I had the worse 4 nights of my life leading up to Christmas morning! I basically slept with hourly interruptions from Mio having a such a miserable time, and finally sleeping in the recliner. Not the most comfortable position for me, and having it soooo cold lately, but it was the only way for Mio to breathe!
I did get to hang out with my friends from high school. That was fun!!! It nice to see how accomplished all my friends are... kinda makes me feel like such a loser though, but they have always been very inspirational for me. I had the most fun seeing Top Gun and baby Maverick for the first time! He is sooooo adorable!!!
On Christmas Eve I stayed up til 4 am wrapping presents and putting them in bags based on all our visits... Our day was like this:
1. Woke up late and lagged
2. Left for Monterey
3. Arrived and opened presents (eating at the same time): we opened presents from oldest to youngest; and had picked names for this family 3x.
4. Left after gift and went to Sunnyvale
5. Said hello and did our white elephant: I walked away with a office seat warmer/massager, and Damoomoo got the Fellowship of the Rings special edition... now this gives him reason to buy the other 2!
6. Said good-bye and headed to Pacifica
7. Passed out presents to whoever was left, and let the boys opened their presents.
Stayed til about 12:30 and finally headed home!
The Holiday was not over cuz the next day we went to Turlock!!! to celebrate my cousin's 18th birthday. Now if the preparation for the holiday was not enough, the actual driving was brutal, and finally in the winding down mode, I feel the exhaustion catching up to me... I am currently trying to fight off a sore throat, and suffering with the runny nose!
Some vacation this is turning out to be!
