its already day 6

despite being slightly hungover worn out yesterday your father and i did a bang up job of getting some stuff done around here! we finally hung pictures in your bathroom that have been sitting on top of the vanity for two years. that's vivian's entire life time for those of you who are not paying attention. i have been asking your dad to bring home his deer head from the office for a few weeks so i could decorate it for the holidays. thought you all would get a kick out of having a reindeer in the house! while you were sleeping we hung him in the dinning room. i decided to "jolly" him up a bit, hung some ornaments on his antlers and the like. i had it all mapped out in my head that this would be where i would put Roxy tonight!

i finished him and decided to take a bath, meanwhile your dad was watching tv. i was pretty sure he hadn't even noticed what i was doing because he was really in the zone. i came back downstairs to grab a glass of water and i will be damned if he didn't steal my spot!


i was a little bummed out about it, i have to admit. i thought it was my ace in the hole for this evening. blah. 

at least he remembered, i guess, but i did all the hard work for him. you both thought it was pretty awesome this morning and keep dragging us in there to look. 


we skyped grandma and grandpa tonight and he mentioned that three weeks from today christmas would be over and done with. i felt kinda sad about that for a moment and then i was like "twenty more nights of hiding this damn elf." i am happy i was smart enough to trick your dad into splitting the work with me. 

i spent today at my annual salon plaza christmas party. it was big drama and big drinking just like every year. this time i decided to drive myself in an effort not to get stuck in kansas city. Ive learned never to get yourself into something you cant get out of OR on to something you cant get off of! Today validated that lesson. i have decided in my old age i have become less tolerant, less empathetic and less interested in day drinking. it was fun, as usual but i was happy to be home at 6 while the other group is still on their way home at 9. my version of sunday funday now, is spent with all of you and your dad. seems like through the week we are all so busy with working, volunteering, meetings, swim lessons, play dates, la, la, la that sunday has become the day we wear sweat pants and spend as a family. it has rapidly become my ideal fun! 

i am beat from today and going to retire to my bath tub. i am going to spend the soaking time thinking up tonight's adventure for Roxy! 

p.s. in other SUPER exciting news, i fit back into my pre-pregnancy jeans today for the first time. this is a HUGE deal! trust me, some day you will understand. granted, they were my "fat" jeans but after packing on the pregnancy lbs, i will take it! 

look! i am getting smaller and the little peanut is getting bigger!
