Thought I was finished Christmas shopping. I lied. I was checking my list and some how I missed 4 people that I couldn't miss. Dammit Grammice. Then I had a major dilemma. We exchange gifts at work....I was NOT gonna get Bi-polar squat. I mean, (stepping out of the "holiday spirit" for a just a minute) I would not have given her a lump of shit. She is a totally mean hateful bitch, she lies, she is two-faced and she is a bully. Anyway, I mentioned this to someone I work with and respect. In a nut shell, because of her relationship with the bosses wife, despite what everyone else thinks....it would cause a major, major rift, getting for the office and leaving her out. After telling husband, he thought a minute and said "he's probably right".
This whole rift thing really pissed me off. I mean, what about the rift its caused for me? But, then the more reasonable side came out...you know the one that says "take the high road". Sooooo half of me thought get her one of those Walmart gift box things you know watery Cocoa or flavors of horseradish. I check the price $15-$20! Dammit. Long story short the high road won, I went to the liquor store bought a 750ml bottle of Jack Daniels. Your probably thinking WHAT!? I figure she is going to get me one of those Walmart gift boxes so my present is going look damn nice next to that! I took the high road! Not much Christmas spirit involved but I felt like it was good compromise. LOL
Yesterday was our 24th wedding anniversary. We have been together 28 years. GOOD GOD!! I know there is a special place in heaven for him. I'm not high maintenance but I can give you a run for your money if I'm mad enough or I feel the need to get even. He has made me a kindlier, more gentler Grammice. HURRAY FOR US!
We are taking g-kids to see Santa tonight. G-son so TOTALLY believes in Santa that even being sick he swears if he doesn't see him he will never, ever get his Power Ranger and Spider man stuff. It is so cool and so totally innocent that I can't bear to think that someday he will grow up not believe anymore. No matter what g-mom says. So tonight we are gonna go see Santa! And hope he will sit on his lap, tell him about Power Rangers and Spider man.

Weather permitting we are going to see Santa tomorrow at Elf Night (at Dorothy B. Oven Park). "Santa" has already has to exchange 2 damn gifts because they were not the right color. Santa works damn hard for her money!! I am pretty much done too. My gifts for the adults is going to be a home-cooked meal whenever they choose (because they have done so much for us this year through everything). I am just getting niece and cousins presents. 6yo picked out all of the grandparent's gifts at the shcool store they had (which makes it even more special that HE did it and I didn't have to MAKE him to it!).
Good for you on taking the high-road.
Congrats on the 28 wonderful years. He is a super guy and a great father.
