For the first year since they’ve been divorced – the boys won’t wake up at our house on Christmas morning. The coaew decided this because they have siblings over there (and we don’t have any here) that it’s not fair for Santa to visit them (the other siblings that believe in Santa) on Christmas Eve morning as he has in the past.
To put it mildly. I am fucking pissed. Kind of makes me wished I’d jumped on the baby bandwagon so our family would be “equal” to hers.
Sweety had called her to work out what time he’d get them Christmas Eve night or if she was bringing them over when she made the announcement. He tried to talk to her but ended up getting pissed off, telling her “whatever” and hanging up while she was still yammering away.
When he first told me I just started to cry. She gets them on Thanksgiving and we do on Christmas. This is just how it’s been. She hadn’t told the boys about it because BB asked me today where they’ll be Christmas Eve (for some reason, he asks me this every. single. year. and I always tell him, “Here!” and he says, “Just checking.”.) and when I said, “Your mother’s house.” he gave me a sideways look. So I elaborated with, “She’s bringing you here Christmas morning or day or whenever it is she feels like it. Wasn’t my idea and I’m not a fan.” And he said, “Okay.” and shuffled on out of the room.
This is the only time I’ve ever said anything in front of him that would be taken negatively about his mother but I just couldn’t hold my tongue. Sue me.
Anyhoo. In INSANELY HAPPY NEWS!
Bekah (don’t let the sign-in scare you! sign-in and check out her adorable photos.) and her daughter Sam (aka The Artist) are coming to see me! The weekend before Christmas! I won two parkhopper tickets to visit The Mouse and Sweety was going to go with me but he can’t because of bowling obligations. I won them back in the summer and we’ve been meaning to go and just keep putting it off and the tickets expire at the end of this year. So Bekah and Sam are coming and Sweety is being an awesome guy and buying us two more passes so we can go two days! Yay! Sam isn’t three yet so she’s freeeeeeee! I like me some free.
Tiny Sammy hugs!
Very excited. I am very excited!
And!
My Mom, sister and fantastic niece are arriving on Christmas Eve! They will be staying until January first or second! I can’t wait to see my niece and tell her bedtime stories and hug on her! I love my niece more than I like to breathe. She is an awesomely odd human being.
See this? This is one of Bekah’s hedgehogs all decked out for Christmas.
Now, it is nice and festive but do you know what I think when I look at it?
Hedgehog coochie!!!
I’d like to gently poke it with a pencil eraser.

That hedgehog coochie shoved out 4 prickly babies. It’s been poked enough!

True. I bet it’s tough enough to handle a little nudge though.
This is why I don’t need a hedgehog. I would molest it.

I don’t think you were too negative, I take it as you really want to be with them and i’m sure BB did too.
Glad your friends and family are coming. I know you are like me and want something to “look forward to”. I am looking forward to 10 straight days out of this hell-hole aka work.

I am soooo looking forward to the visits! Thanksgiving was kind of weird and sucky so this will make up for it! :)

I am so sorry that you won’t have the boys. You know how much the boys love you, so just hold tight until they come.Then let the fun begin.
That is fantastic that Bekah is coming and your family too. I think you are one blessed chickie!
Can’t wait to see pictures.
Merry Christmas and hugs

Yeah, we will just go bonkers after they get here. They’re really excited about my Mom being here too. BB remarked last year that it was nice when she was here because the house was always clean and there was always hot food ready. Heh.

Let’s hope that happens. We still haven’t decided what to get them. Should probably do that very soon.

She may change her plans between now and then and you may have the boys after all. And if not, I’m sure that they will be back early on Christmas. That’s just how she rolls.

I really doubt they’ll be here early this year. I have a feeling that this is being done so she’ll “look good” to her husband and his family.
I can’t think of her without wanting to throat-punch her.

Funny. I wanna throat-punch people too. Hmm.
peace…

I can’t help but laugh that you signed off with “peace…” Heh.
I’d like to do a throat-punch so I’d never have to hear her fucking voice through Sweety’s cell phone ever again.

Oh boy! More Bekah-Chickie photos! (Sorry, those crack me up.)
And very sorry about the boys. Being truthful is not being snarky.

And I think Bekah is bringing her “good” camera so we should have some kick-ass photos!
With BB? I said it a lot nicer than I was thinking it.

That woman! The ‘mother’ I mean. It’s like she does things just to piss you and Sweety off and doesn’t seem to care about what the boys may want…What a piece of work she is,….!
I know you will have such a great time with your dear little neice….!
Thank God she and your Mom will be there…!

I’ve decided that coaew is just flat clueless. I’m being thankful that at least she isn’t calling Sweety all the damned time (like she did our first oh, five or 6 years of marriage) to bitch and say shitty things about me.
Ah, the niece and Mom…not coming. Blog post forthcoming. ;(
