This Christmas...

Well, I'm still loving the new phone. The only problem is that it stopped vibrating when it rings so I have no idea when somebody calls or texts me. I have to hit the Verizon store in the midst of the crazy Christmas season... that won't be fun! Hopefully they can fix it or give me a new phone. My mom thinks that I will have to Fed Ex it because I didn't actually buy it at the store, but ordered it by calling the 800 number. This better not be the case. How can they expect me to go that long without a phone?!?! Especially over the holidays. It will take all of those extra days. So, wish me luck at the store!

In other bad news, BB was at the doctor last week. He has been coughing for weeks, but had no other symptoms. Last week, he woke with a croup cough and a fever. I took him to the doctor. She put him on prednisone for the croup and amoxicilan for bronchitis. He is done with the prednisone, but still has a few days of the amoxicilan left. He is sounding so much better!

To make it even worse, GB started coughing yesterday. She sounds bad now too. Hopefully she will start to feel better faster than BB (and me. I've been coughing since the week before Thanksgiving). Our Christmas plans will probably be changed because she is sick. I have germophobe sisters-in-law. Even if the bears were sick two weeks ago and are fine now, we couldn't be around their kids. My brothers have made bad choices in wives, but that is a long story for another day!

Anyway, this means the hubby will probably invite his father to our house for dinner. Imagine the most "hick-ish" person that you know and muliply that by about 100. That's my father-in-law. And the bears barely know him because he never made an effort to make himself available to see them. We have tried to go see him or invite him here many times and he always was going to see his ex-girlfriend. Now, on Christmas, he'll have nothing better to do, so he'll be here.

The worst news yet? I still have nothing to give my dad for Christmas. The man has everything! If he wants it, he buys it... The bears want to buy him a gift card for his favorite restaurant. I don't really like to give gift cards but at this point I might have too! Any suggestions that you have are encouraged!!

Sorry to be a downer, but this Christmas season has not been the best.

I'm right there with ya! I hate cell phone companies, we've all been sick, we've got plenty of hick relatives (missing teeth and all) but they're on the other side of the country, and Christmas shopping has been stressful this year. Hope you're able to relax and enjoy the next few days despite all the craziness! Merry Christmas!
