After Holiday Hangover
I’m so exhausted. Sadly it wasn’t the holiday that kicked my trash as much as it was the working after the holiday. I work retail so I had to be up and at work (which is thirty minutes away) by 5 am the day after Thanksgiving. Ick. Let me tell you what, I was a tired tired woman after working Friday and Saturday with all the holiday shoppers (who are soooooo rude by the by).
Anyway, I had to work early and my babysitter/sister was out of town at my folks house for the dinner so I was left without a sitter for the boys. I was asking anyone I could think of and was about to the end of my rope when my husband’s boss told them they wouldn’t be working that day.
Up until now, he hasn’t stayed a full day alone with the kids, mostly because I am always here, so I was kinda nervous that they would all drive each other crazy and I’d come home and the kids would have him tied up in the closet or something, hehe. But when I walked through the door they were all hanging out on the couch watching movies. The kids were so excited because he had taken them to find petrified wood and then (and I think this was the kicker) he took them to McDonalds and even let them go inside and play at the Playplace. Which their mean old mom never does.
It was great to see them all getting along so well. Makes it all feel like it’s going to be okay for a second.

Working retail sucks - I did it for thirteen years and the holidays certainly don’t bring out the best in people! Glad the family is getting along… for now…
