I am in John Wayne International Airport, waiting for my flight home. Have paid $10 for a WiFi day pass, since I'll be sitting in O'Hare for over two hours between flights later today, and they have a T-Mobile hotspot there, too. Woot!

I am going to be home for Christmas for the first time since 2003!!

She being the only grandkid of the family, is SPOILED ROTTEN!!! And ya, I contributed to it.

I could have written this about Ellie. She unwrapped stuff yesterday and this morning and there's still a huge pile of presents for her in the living room. She's napping now, trying to build up energy for the next round pf presents.

So far, it has been a wonderful Christmas. Ellie's home and healthy, my whole family is here, and we should have a wonderful meal this afternoon. It's so nice to my whole family here - I wish they could stay.

Merry Christmas, Bitches!!!

Shortly my mum and my wee sister and I will go round the corner to visit my grandmother and take her pressies, and SA is going to have a bath, and then, finally CHRISTMAS WILL HAPPEN!!!!!

(normally Chez Jay we have Christmas lunch around mid day, but this year we're going for an evening meal because Nana can't join us and blah blah blah HUNGRY CAKES!!!!)

....the roast smells good. Sigh. WeeSisterJay and I have prepared vegetables, which will just have time to burn by the time we get back, probably. Hmm. We'll see. Anyway, Merry Christmas, y'all!

cough cough sniffle Meddy Cdistmad Bidchees!

Feels Laga's pain, hands Laga tissue from the nearly empty box next to me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS BITCHES!!!!!!

Merry Christmas, loves. And for those that don't celebrate it, Merry Monday off work!

I'm just waking up. Need to shower, eat breakfast, wrap a few little gifts, and then head over to my aunt and uncle's place. Sympathetic noises to the sickees...my nose is stuffy today, but I refuse to believe that I wll be joining your ranks. As Em would say, "NO SICK!"

Merry Christmas!!!

hugs to all the sick Bitches.

Sorry about the lack of sleep, Deena.

TCG and I slept in a bit, then exchanged presents, and put together all of the food we're bringing to his dad's house today. We have to leave in about and hour, so I should probably consider getting dressed soon.

bleargh I left my bagel in the toaster. Cookies for breakfast again! OK Sudafed you can kick in now I just have to get through the next 8 hours of work and them it's Christmas, Yay!

Nick and Aidan are sitting in the living room floor putting together Aidan's train set. Aidan is mimicking Nick's speech. It's so adorable.

Kara is sitting at the dining room table helping her monkeys get into trouble in her Littlest Pet Shop.

Greg is cleaning up trash, and I am sitting her all warm glowy because my husband bought me neat things for Christmas. Lots of presents from wonderful people and Santa came through for the kids. I took pictures of them opening their presents and will post them when I've gotten my whelm back.

Happy Christmas, everyone!

We made it back from Indiana last night and the kids are having a blast playing with new toys. Next year I'm listening to DH--he suggested going light on the presents and was right. Owen is really only interested in playing with the first two or three things he opens. We still have a pile of unopened gifts under the tree.

Olivia's been running a steady fever of about 101 and a nasty cold since Saturday night. I've kept her dosed with Tylenol and she's eating and sleeping (mostly) pretty well. It being Christmas and us being out of state kept me from calling the pediatrician but I really hope she's over this snotty fever thing quickly.

Owen's currently terrorizing the dogs with his shake n go race car.
