RE: Christmas Time Surgeries

[Guest guest]

My hubby can't cook either, so I have a LOT of cooking/freezing to do

beforehand so we have something edible in the house he can just heat up

and serve ) Of course, he said we wouldn't do a tree this year since

I wouldn't be able to enjoy it. Hrummppf! We certainly ARE having a

tree!

We reached a compromise - small table-top live tree that we'll plant out

back later.

===============================

I'm waiting for my approval so it is all tentative, but they approved it

once, so I'm sure they'll approve it again. Of course this has been the

week from hell, so who knows what lies in store. Yes I know, its only

Monday.

I'm not really thumbing my nose up at Santa, lets just say that lately

the only way I can get any rest is if I go under the knife. : ) Maybe I

should have him do one breast now and save the other for New Years?

Also, if I play my cards right, Tim can call his parents on x-mas eve

and tell them I'm not feeling well and that maybe they should go to his

brothers house for the day. Then we can spend our x-mas together and he

can take the kids to my brother in-laws later in the day. I'll stay home

and hang out with my brother and Tim's friend Mike. There is a reason

for my madness, part heredity, mostly in-laws. LOL

Tim and his friend Mike are very good cooks, so not worried about what

they'll come up with to make. Also, we put our tree up Thanksgiving

weekend. Since we have to go to his parents for Thanksgiving (don't get

me started), I'm doing " our " Thanksgiving the Saturday after. We'll put

the tree up on Friday and so far we have about 12 people coming over on

Saturday for dinner. Nice way to kick off the holidays, erasing the

memory of the Thanksgiving from two days before and being with people

you really do love and enjoy. Tomorrow I'm housebound because the car

has to be inspected, so I'm going to watch my x-mas DVD's and wrap

presents all day. Just love having all this stuff done before

Thanksgiving, then I can really enjoy the holidays. : )

How bout if we tell Tim to grow a spine and tell his parents that you're not

having Christmas this year? We've yelled at him before, ya know! (but only

because he needed it!)

Every time I read about other peoples' inlaws, I am forever grateful that my MIL

could care less if we are alive or dead. And my dad is just a sweetie and

doesn't ask anything of us, but gives with all his heart.
