Well, Christmas has finally come and gone, but the tree is still up. I've been thinking about when I might take it down. Perhaps this weekend. I can have the kids help me put the ornaments away.
Christmas was a blast! I worked out a deal with my ex so that I could have them part of the day on Christmas. I guess the only way to work out anything with that guy is through mediation. Ugh, he's so stressful! Oh well. I'm sure a lot of people out there have trouble dealing with their ex's. I wonder sometimes why I never listened to my inner voice 12 years ago when it told me NOT to get married? Why did I ignore that? I could have saved myself a lot of grief, and a lot of money. I am grateful for my children though. Without them my life would have much less meaning. I just wish they didn't have to be in the middle of everything. I hope that they can learn from my mistakes and that their lives will be more peaceful.
And now, New Year's is coming! And it sounds like it will be snowing. I'm not sure that I want to go out partying if it's going to snow. I guess we'll see what happens. I do need to make some dinner reservations pretty quickly. If I don't, I may end up eating at Taco Bell!
