Merry Christmas, the girls (Vic and Val) are not here and we did the kids (Meagan and Will's) Christmas on Christmas eve so it is VERY quiet on the home front. The girls come back tomorrow so today is going to be very quiet for a while. Mom and Keith came last night.
On a funny note my sister and I pooled our money on a small laptop for my mom. She can't work it too well so she keeps asking me what does this mean etc. Bill was helping her set it up last night and it sounded like the shuttle launch. Working the mouse pad was challenging. I think by today she is getting the hang of it. She is going to "try to get back on her facebook but can't remember the password!"
A few minutes ago she asked me if she could see my blog so I told her the address. She said "address?" I said "yes the URL" well she looked like I just spoke french. I know I should have just typed it in for her but it is FREEZING in here so I didn't want to get up. (more on the thermostat later) I spelled it for her S-L-O-W-L-Y and then she got it!
VERY comical...I said you know this is going into the blog...
As we got ready for this Christmas Bill and I decided to buy most of our things online! YES, shopping in my pjs watching Big Bang Theory!
So I ordered Victoria the huge barbie house! Yea me right!
A couple of days later (enough for me to forget that I was waiting on packages) The girls and I arrive from a particularly stressful day at school and I was unloading the car. The girls bounded up to the door and I hear...Vic yell out that there is a Barbie house on our porch!
GREAT!
I run up there and Vic says, "Did Santa come early?" Like he is too busy this year so he just kicks presents out his sleigh before Christmas to just land on the porch!
So I start to panic a little, Vic has already had someone tell her that Santa isn't real and I am desperately trying to keep it alive for her. So I say, No this is a mistake that isn't ours. Nope must be for someone else! Then like all mothers..."Go in the HOUSE"
Would you budge?
Didn't think so, they didn't either, so I kept saying "go in the house, go in the house, (light bulb on now) didn't you both ask me if you could have ice cream?? It is in the freezer, see if you can get it!" Good mother right! *sigh*
Now I am really in a pickle because no way am I bring this into my house. I go to the garage and open it. Carry the huge box around the outside and hide it with a sheet. It was really big and took me awhile to do!
I sent Bill a text that said, shopping on line might be easier that going to the stores but with shopping at a store there is NO WAY THE UPS MAN WILL RUIN A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE!
I come in and both girls are elbow deep in ice cream. *Nice* Victoria's immediate response, Where is the house...
I told her, "Well, you won't believe what happen... I was walking down the street with the box and some other little girls' daddy was walking looking for her Barbie house! Lucky right"
Blank stare...
She let it go but Jean thinks that she just let me slide and that Victoria will know once she sees the Santa gift. I will update you tomorrow cross your fingers!
