Happy (late) Birthday

Happy Birthday to Ruth, it was on the 28th. Sorry I am late with it. To update you too, she did need surgery on her arm on the 23rd, I think a plate and a couple of rods?? My sisters will have to help me out I am brain numb.

Also, Merry (late) Christmas to all of you.

Christmas was tough, but that is not a shock. The Friday after Christmas was actually harder. Chris had to work so I rode in his semi with him to Detroit. We had to pick up a trailer at Herman Miller on 16th St. first - that hit me hard. I have not driven out that way since I visited Dad at Hospice after he died. So two holidays without him so far, so many more to go. My gram also was admitted to the hospital on the 23rd but they let her go on the 24th after sucking another liter of fluid from her chest and putting her on meds for pneumonia.

The only thing that helped me through the holiday was that my children get so geeked about Santa and they loved all the things they got. I dread the day Santa gets the boot. My nephew was upset this year because me and the kids were not there for dinner Christmas Eve but Chris' family is important too and that is their party night. We did stay the night at my mom's house as usual this year (thank you to my honey for being a good sport about it AND for getting coffee and donuts and bagels Christmas morning) Next year may be more difficult depending on what transpires between Chris & I over the next year. I have to say I have been in a pissy mood lately too and we had a couple pretty good arguements last weekend. Stupid crap too, mostly my bad attitude. He is a great man and takes good care of us and I am just a poopy head sometimes. I don't know what my funk is lately. I am just very ready to kiss this year good ridance!

I may post a couple Christmas picts later...who knows. I am not sure how much longer I will do this. By the way, the picture is of Chris and Emi - he is teaching her how to play scales on the guitar he gave her for Christmas.

I hope all of you are safe and enjoyed your family over the holidays.

Happy New Year!!
