I have a special plan for my cards too... it involves actually putting them in envelopes, buying stamps, and mailing them! I keep forgetting to bring them to work so I can get them done, and I keep forgetting to buy the stamps too. I really wanted to print out some Christmas pictures but my ink is low so I think we'll just forego the pix this time, as I do NOT want to brave the stores again to go get some printed!!
We went to Lone Star for dinner tonight and the kids were total butts! Lyzzie didn't eat a single bite of anything (thank goodness for free kids meals or I'd have strangled her) and she kept bouncing up & down and banging her head against the back of her seat. Did I mention we sat in a booth? She's old enough not to act like that. Emma was better, but tired so she was very loud and then put her head down on the table. We brought the leftovers home, but they didn't make it into the fridge right away and Roxy opened the box and spilled all the food out onto the rug -- the same one that Dusty pooped on yesterday.
My mom is making me SO mad. Emma's favorite toy is her Leapster, and she's been bringing it to my mom's house every day. We tote it back and forth, and leave it in our car overnight so we don't forget it in the morning. Last weekend we didn't bring it home, I know we didn't because I distinctly remember the screaming all the way home that Emma wanted to go back and get it. Well now we can't find it, and she's insisting we brought it home. So much so that she came to my house today while I was at work to look for it, and she called me a liar when I said it's not here. She turned the house upside down searching for it. She screamed at me and said she's sick and tired of being blamed for ME losing things. I lost my cool and screamed right back, I told her I can't be held responsible for the kids toys when they are at HER house and I'm not even there! She kept telling me that it's MY fault and I need to buy a new one. Those things are $60! I'm not buying a new one just because she can't remember where she put it! Mom gets very forgetful, and I think she's mad at herself because she knows I'm right, but she doesn't want to admit that she lost it so she's blaming it on me instead. The thing that makes me really mad though is that this has been going on for several days and she continually tells me it's MY fault, that I don't keep track of my kids' stuff. It's hard to though, when they are constantly bringing things back and forth and when SHE is always moving stuff! I can't keep track of my stuff, Lyzzie's stuff, and Emma's stuff in my house and in her house, it's too much. She's not even helping, I asked where it might be and she just says, "They're your kids, YOU find it." Ugh.
