There is always so much to do, it seems, before the holidays. I am pleased to say that most of my Christmasing was done prior to the kids getting out of school. Sadly, Genius Golfer and I were in-communicado about just what Christmas would bring the kids, so there has been a little kurfuffle about stuff for the kids, but he's a Santa-kind of dad, and I (have been told) am more of the Grinchy type.
I am trying hard to put everything in perspective this year and just enjoy the holiday. But I have also tried very hard to be judicice in my spending--trying to be frugal and, yes, you can call me cheap. It has been a fairly homemade holiday this year. So it is making me crazy when Super Santa Daddy makes the calls he has of late for the spoiled children in our care without any comment or even discussion from me. He gets to be the "good dad" all the time, while I play my role as the "mean old mom".
I realize that this just threw my comment about putting things in perspective right out the window, but the petty side of me is annoying when I stop and think about stuff like this.
But I am now heading out to find the 'meditation music' and calm my irritating heart and just try to enjoy the holiday--again. It will get better, and either way Christmas will come and go and we will have memories of whatever we do--and whomever does it 'right'.
I hope you are all having a warm, wonderful, and memory filled Christmas week. I'll keep you posted.
