Dreaming.In.Reality

till MOm arrives. Granted I have to leave by 730 and all that crap. Baby’s been gassy all afternoon, we’ve finally got a bit of peace and quiet. Why? because he’s in an eatcoma from all the food he had. I wanted to wash both him and the dog before my mom showed up, and now I can’t be bothered. It’s not like she’s never smelled a stinky baby or smelly dog before. The good news is; I found my kitchen table, the living room is vacuumed and mostly picked up. The tree hath been drug up from down stairs, I bought new lights, and now all that needs is a tree assembly process and we’ll be good to go. I feel so blah, it’s the week before Christmas and the tree isn’t up. Thank goodness I’m leaving it up till my dad is here/gone in January!

We had one more little present show up today with a note on the packing slip that another one in the set was backordered. I swear Sears is insane with their “shipping as we have stock”. No wonder my Dad is paranoid about finding out which pieces show up. IN the past week we’ve had 3 shipments from Sears off ONE order.

Dutchess with Santa

I’ve had a really nice box of glamour stuff arrive from a friend here in Ontario. Lush goodies, perfume balm, chocolate and even little Santa booties for Lucien. Lucien, the poor thing, has had underwear and socks arrive -snickers-. K had a nice tool chest show up from my dad and his gf.

Baby has finally passed out so I should scram to the store and get all I need while I can escape!

Spent the afternoon at a friend of K’s from high school’s parent’s house (did you get all that? yeah…). Little Christmas party, it was nice and the house was very cool. It’s a dome house.

Tomorrow brings the arrival of my mom, hopefully a package or two, major house cleaning, grocery shopping and bringing up the Christmas tree.

joy.

Kev’s brother and his gf got us a dishwasher for Christmas. K has spent the past 3 days reworking the cabinets and installing the thing. We did the first wash tonight!

We had the ever so delightful Michel and Adrienne over tonight. It was so nice to see them on their trip home from the UK. They’re here for a few more weeks so we’ll have lots of time hopefully to see them.

Lucien was quite taken with them both and was very good for their visit. He even went to bed without a fight!

(more…)

my house is a disaster, there is no decorations anything up, Christmas party on Sunday, I have to reconfigure the photos for presents for the deadline tomorrow at midnight, I also have a photo competition to enter a photograph in.

YARGH

is a hard hat work area! Our dishwasher was delivered last night by K’s brother and his gf. It’s our Christmas present. Unfortuantely for us, our kitchen was not designed for a dishwasher and there is much configuration and mess to be done with the cabinets etc.

with that whole sleeping through the night thing last night. yeah that was a fluke.

did you know….
