Dear Diary Monday...

The countdown is ON! I am almost complete with the Christmas wrapping and should be able to finish it up, which leaves me to having tomorrow to take my Mom grocery shopping and then I am hoping beyond hope that I can have a very quiet and relaxing Christmas Eve. Christmas Day I go over to my folks and start cooking and we open gifts, which is always fun when Dylan is trying desperatly to stay awake. I then head home and relax for a bit, we then go eat at my folks house, then head over to Dylan's folks house to eat AGAIN and then open gifts. Then Dylan and I are planning on getting some after Christmas shopping done and a WHOLE bunch of relaxing over the weekend....I hope, I hope, I hope!

Christmas this year has been intersting and hectic. The interesting part has been that we have spent a shitload of money, but it does not seem to look like it. Not sure where it all went! The hectic part is that I am just counting down the days and minutes until my Mom can get the surgery on her shoulder. She is in continuous pain, some of it is self induced, and I just hate seeing her like that. And thank Gawd that I have Dylan to help out where I need him to help out. Between him and my Brother, we should be able to take care of the folks and their house.

And big thanks to Toni and Rob for planning a wonderful dinner on Saturday at La Puente. It was awesome fun!
