Stew has a busy day today, packing up his office in readiness for his move to Auckland Central..... shit it's only a couple of weeks to go!
We have a few more things to do this coming weekend to be totally ready for Christmas Day... food shopping etc. Going to be a busy few days.
To you lovely ladies out there who sent us a Christmas Card...THANK YOU.... I don't send out cards! So just know I love each and every one of you!
Some lovely news.... The Teenager from hell (Mike) finally talked to me last night after no words being exchanged for OVER A WEEK!! He apologised and tried to explain how we got into this situation....I got a big hug (melts my heart) and now all is good between us again! I am so relieved, I hate it when there is friction between me and my kids.
Yipeee..... done and dusted, finished the Christmas Shopping at last... I thought I was finished days ago... but NOOOOO, just had to get a couple more! Shopping with two kids isn't that bad, I asked them to sit nicely on the floor in a china shop and they did! People came and went and commented on how bloody wonderful they were sitting there so nicely! Awwwwww.
I took the horror (Griffin) out for a haircut..... talk about a fidget arse !!!!! The hairdresser kept saying "Keep still" and he said :
"LADY, my middle name is STILL !"...... everyone in the salon cracked up laughing! How could you NOT love this friggin kid?
Define good. ummm?!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you've sorted things out now, you must be so relieved.
ReplyDeleteI usually send out about 100 cards at Christmas with photos and a newsletter updating everyone on what we've been doing. Didn't do it this year, couldn't be bothered - and anyway it would be filled with misery guts type stuff!! Good luck with the shopping. I have to do the same and I haven't even planned the menu yet! BAH....
Woo hoo. Teenagers!!!! They just have to do things in their own time. So pleased all is well in the land of Chris. Have a great weekend. Jim finishes work today too so has suggested shopping this afternoon!!!!! Men!!!! I love shopping but not with everyone else in the city!!!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful that you sorted things out....hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas x
