I got...


- Bills that MAY be paid off by June (if I'm lucky)
- Visits and phone calls from people I don't like
- At LEAST 5 more pounds to try to take back off, and a stomachache from too much food, candy, and sweets (although Wicked Lady does make excellent cookies ;))
- Forced to suffer through unbridled, early-morning excitement
- Snow up to my knees (that has to be shoveled out of the driveway and off the steps)...I HATE snow
- A lot of fake smiles and "Oh, I love it"s when everyone knows they don't:rolleyes:
- 2 cats puking up silver garland
- A kitchen full of dishes
- A HUGE mess to clean up in the parlor
- The obligation of taking the kids shopping in order to return and/or exchange stuff that doesn't fit, and/or is just plain hideous (ie: pretty much everything the kids got from my mother, who doesn't realize when she tells MY kids, "But, it's in style, everyone's wearing it", "It's a very popular name brand" and/or "It's expensive", it makes them hate it SOOO much more and who thinks she has figured out that if something is BLACK, they will love it no matter what, even if it's a black, knitted poncho *ugh...poor Seri*, or an LEI cap with a fuzzy ball on top of it...*sigh* )...
- And alot of STUFF, that I don't need, and now have to figure out where to put, in a house already stuffed FULL of 'STUFF'


What I got that I actually DID want and appreciate, was another day to be alive and spend time with my kids, and the comfort and joy of knowing that they are safe, happy, healthy, intelligent, beautiful and mine...Which is what I have EVERY day, without all of the bullshit:)


BTW...Merry Christmas you guys:)
