Miss the kids

I finally started missing the kids last night. I love my time away, but I love my family. I've been keeping busy working and DH wishes I would work on my cleaning quite a bit more. I can't believe it is almost 2009. Wow.

Went to see Milk last night. Good movie but leaves you asking what you do that is truly important. I wonder.

Day after Christmas

Nice quiet home time. Went to Troy yesterday afternoon. Rode back with bil and sil. Slept in until 1pm. Taking my time getting to work. Realy enjoying having time to myself. Scott is due home before too long. He is gaming all day tomorrow. Yay!! I love my family but I love my time alone, too. We still have a week of together time. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to start the rock candy before the kids get back. It'll take about a week to make. So, do I start it now and get a head start or do I wait and let the kids see how it starts. I guess it depends how lazy I am!!  Although I am also thinking about making Oatmeal Butterscotch cookies for Scott. And me. Almost healthy, right?

Christmas Eve.

Things were going pretty well until Lizzie had a melt-down because Alex didn't give her a pencil with an eraser. She was off her meds for a week and it has really caught up with her. Time to push it back in her, big time. Unfortunately, Scott got in on it while it was occurring and got really really mad. Alex was crying because Scott scared him. So, then Scott was mad at himself for getting so mad. And he probably said some things he shouldn't. Well, now he is moping around. Sigh. I was already depressed before. Now I have to try to balance him out. Yay, Christmas! NOT!!!

We went to Christmas Eve service, which I really enjoy. He couldn't sing because his cough is still so bad. Which bummed him out. And he was doing his mopy thing. And it isn't like he will actually talk about what is wrong. He made a comment about screwing Christmas up and I barked at him. He hasn't done anything wrong! Lizzie is the one who needs an attitude adjustment. And, welcome to my world!!! I have to go through this with Lizzie two to three times a day. Every day. Scott is lucky he never has to see it!!! Well, time to get presents under the tree.
