So I shopped and shopped Saturday, got tons done, finished little touches on the house, and Steve and I wrapped oodles of gifts. I pretty much parked on the couch Saturday night, feet hurting and just really tired. I began feeling anxiety again about forgetting something, what to plan for the Christmas dinner, and how many would be here for Christmas Day, etc. I spent about two hours that evening on the phone with my oldest step-daughter Kara, and we had a wonderful visit. It is so nice when they begin to mature and grow up. She has Steve's oldest grandson, and they too live out of town so we don't see them often either.
She has all but begged to help me cook, clean, wrap gifts, run errands - etc. This is unusual for me. No one ever offers to help me !
She, her husband and their son will be here Friday night late. We decided to surprise Steve. Their original plan was to arrive two days before Christmas, and as far as Steve knows that is when they are coming. They will stay until after Christmas, so he should get some good bonding time with his grandson.
I shopped some more yesterday, and almost have everything ready, will go to UPS at noon today and ship the out of town gifts.
I decided last night that THIS year, I'm going to be finished, I'm going to stop and enjoy the holidays, no matter what anyone else has in mind. (Keeping my fingers crossed of course).
And the best news of all, I ordered a home computer from Dell this morning !!! YAY ! will finally have one at home again !
