Holidailies #26..Jersey
Oh boy. Bug seems to go through phases. She’ll be really good for awhile, then rotten for awhile. She’s in a rotten phase now. I’m not sure if it is Christmas-related, because she didn’t have the same problem last year. But she’s just running around like a crazy person. Being rude, throwing tantrums, saying she hates me over a game, asking for food and when I say no, taking it anyway. Last night, Geo got fed up with her for pretty much the first time ever. I mean, he was FED UP. It was kind of nice, because for once I was the good guy instead of always being evil Mommy who makes her do what she is supposed to.
About Geo’s Christmas gifts..he got me several things, including some bedroom furniture. He got Bug and I authentic licensed Cubs jerseys. On the back, it says our respective nicknames, and then 11 on mine and 8 on hers, for 11/8..our adoption day. Isn’t that sweet? He was really proud of himself.
Now I’m just trying to get back in the swing of things. This is the first time in a long time that I haven’t held a full time job, or been going to college full time. I’ll be working at home, and I’m nervous about it. I’ve been working at home for awhile, but just as a way to bring in extra cash. Luckily, I have my disability compensation and Bug’s adoption subsidy (which is only $275) so I’ve got a good head start.
I’m hoping 2007 is a kick ass year.
Oh, speaking of 2007, do you know Walmart has already replaced all the Christmas stuff with Valentine’s day stuff? Isn’t that slightly ridiculous?
Also, I’m going to be blogging about my attempt to do the Flylady program over on my other blog. I’m looking for people to join me. Come join me!
P.S. If I owe you a Christmas card because we participated in an exchange or because you sent me one, I KNOW. I SUCK. Between graduation and the move and all, I did not get them sent out. But they are going tomorrow. I know. It’s dumb. But better late than never right?? Also, I’m having difficulty with my Outlook Express, so if you email me through the site and I don’t write back right away, I’m working on it.

Sorry to hear Bug is acting up…she tried to be so good for Santa she must have stored up some naughty. Well, just remind her that Santa is watching and taking notes for next year.
The jersey’s sound like a very thoughful gift. He did good! What does the bedroom furniture look like? I love furniture. I could shop for it all day long every day and never tire of it.
I have Xmas cards I owe out too…but I think I’ll hit Hallmark and see if there are any “I’m lame and late for Xmas but please have a great New Year” cards!

I wanna see a picture of Geo carrying around the monkey. Or atleast the Monkey

I’m sorry Bug is acting up, but if there is a bright side, saying she hates you is also a sign that she feels secure enough in your relationship to say it and know you won’t ever leave her. Maybe she’s testing you? Plus you just moved, and graduated, and you are a bit nervous about work. Kids pick up on stress, even if they don’t get it.
NOT that you should put up with the behaviour. Just sayin’ there may a potful of reasons.
And I want to see the monkey too.

Love the idea of the jerseys Geo got you 2! Sorry about Bug acting up, maybe it’s her way of letting go of all the pent-up excitement of Christmas?

I’ve been a flybaby on and off for over 3 years. I got the flylady calendar for xmas and am getting back on the ball again. Most of it must have sunk in because my house is sooooo much better than when I first started! A friend the other day paid the best compliment I’ve ever had- she said I’m the most organized person she knows! HA!

If you send the cards after Christmas, they don’t get mixed in with all the other Christmas stuff–much more individual and special! Or that’s what I tell myself. (If you get really behind, Chinese New Year is 2/18/07)

Dang, you’re signing up for flylady (I tried to give it a whirl about four years ago but I sucked and mostly felt guilty and delinquent) and I’m cheering on my post about the wonders of clutter. hah! Geo’s presents sound GREAT… dang. Furniture. and thoughtful presents that are personal! The jerseys are a brilliant idea. Go cubs go! Best of luck with Bug!
