(here I am… strangely compelled to write more…)
The boys and I did the Walmart thing (well, it started out being the kmart thing as I don’t generally like Walmart, but they didn’t have anything I was looking for) last night and bought some Christmas presents for neices and nephews. Did a damn good job, too. They’ll be some slap happy neices and nephews, unless they piss me off, and then I’ll burn the presents right in front of them for spite.
Yes, I am spiteful. I am the LORD of SPITE.
I digress.
Right, so Walmart. Spent about a bill. I check the thing this morning, to see how many pennies we have left, and I’m a zero or so above what I thought I’d be.
Turns out Uncle Sam dropped a present down my banks chimney, or something like that. The SS money has already started coming in.
Roger, thats a woot.

I sent MastaG to school, and then emailed work saying that I can’t work today.
I don’t think I’m getting into why right now. Suffice to say, the grief isn’t here, but the numbness has hit critical “giving a shit” parts of my brain, and if I clocked in, I’d damn well not do any work, but I’d just sit around and try not to get phone calls. I don’t think that’d be doing them any favors, so they’re better off not paying me if I’m not going to work.
Yes, I’m an upright and moral LORD of SPITE.
So, point is, I sent G to school, despite his calling out how unfair it was that I’m slacking and he’s not (he was joking, but had a point). So, I called the school a little while ago to get him out early. We’ll have a Daddy and G day today.
I’m looking forward to it!

Daddy-and-G day sounds like a good plan. Glad you have this to look forward to.

An angry AT. Well, you’ve got a right to be. Ugh, Christmas shopping on top of everything else. Sounds like you’re doing a good job of undestructively rolling with it all. I’m liking “Lord of Spite.” Maybe you should change your name!

Have fun with G :)

Have a good daddy/son day!

No, Zapaper, this is pretty much normal me. I tend to be on the growly side, I reckon.
I like Christmas shopping, really, simply because I enjoy spending money (which might have something to do, along with that whole “Low Income” thing, with why we have been broke all these years… never bought boats, or crap like that, but I like buying treats for the boys, and I liked trying to talk BJ into buying things, but she rarely would)

Have a wonderful father-son day. You are lucky that you have the children to bring you joy and sorrow. If something happened to my dear, dear husband, I would be alone in the world. I can’t bear even thinking of it. This last year I watched my MIL and BIL die of cancer. I think of their spouses and what has gotten them through all of this and it has been the love of their children. It is how we have all dealt with it. Family. Gotta love em even though sometimes you want to slap em.
You are absolutely amazing, AT. I couldn’t do Christmas last year at all. It just came and went and I did nothing. No MIL to celebrate with. I had totaled my car in an accident. I didn’t want to shop, decorate or cook. We got through Christmas but I don’t know how. You, you are handling it so well. You are embracing the holidays. Wow!

Enjoy, those days are good for you both! :)

Come on down here! We’re having a big ‘ol pot roast tonight and Sunday I am cooking a monster turkey that is driving me nuts taking up A LOT of space in the freezer. Serves that gobbler right! We could stand to have you guys visit too!

Oh, I forgot about decorating at J and B’s. But we’d be glad to see you anytime.
