Hi all

Christmas day with all the kids and grandkids at my house was very nice.
My husband though needs to find a way to relax and learn to do the things
that need to be done earlier so that he isn't rushing at the last minute.

He gets so upset and just spends so much time being mad like at anyone
here. Its getting to the point I'd like to move Derrick into his own place
a week or two before a celebration so he doesn't have to listen to his
dad too.

I wasn't sure if we were going to survive this year or not. But we did and
it was pretty good. But I do seem to have one big problem, between the
two ladies that my son's have chosen. And there just doesn't seem to be
a solution. SO I've got to work this one out. I had asked the one I get along
with the most to hand out stockings. And she was doing just fine. And
had to all the kids, and was just handing the other daughter in law and
son's stockings to Jessica. And I'm not exactly sure what Jessica said, to her
but it wasn't nice or pretty. So Sabrina kept her cool here.

But just as soon as the presents had been unwrapped she had her family
all in coats and out the door. I didn't realize till later, it wasn't because Will
had lost his only diaper, but because of what Jessica had said.

So now I hear yesterday at my mom's just as they are leaving, I'm not ever
coming back to your house. And I still have to deal with this. It just
wasn't the right time.

I was sick at my mom's yesterday, and it wasn't a good day for me.
But my grandkids, and son and daughter in law that were there had a ball.
So did Derrick and my husband.

Today I'm alone, Husband and Derrick are out having lunch and a movie.

So I'll rest. Derrick and I are going shopping tomorrow and then his dad
and him are taking off on a trip later in the week.
