Thankfully it’s the weekend! Sarah and Jay are off snowboarding in Jasper, so we have Miles for the weekend. Needless to say it’s rather chaotic around here with the 2 of them, and all the Christmas decorations!
Last night C and I stayed late at work, and finished the “wildcats”. We wanted to get them finished, as Tuesday is the Christmas concert, so the gym will have a full house. I’ll take pictures next week.
My plan this weekend is to get all my Christmas wrapping finished, and find out just what else I need to get.
Jess is flying in today to spend Christmas I think. Hopefully the whole thing goes smoothly. I’m not in the mood for any unnecessary stress!
My aunt passed away on Tuesday night, so I’ll be going down to Mom’s for the funeral on Thursday. I believe she was about 75 years old. She had pneumonia and just couldn’t recover from it, she pretty much died in her sleep, which is certainly the way to go. She had suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis since she was in her early 30’s, and I think she just got tired of living such a life of pain! I was lucky enough to get in for a haircut last night, and Sarah is going to streak my hair when she comes to pick up Miles tomorrow. The evening of the funeral we are coming back here to go out for dinner with 8 of our friends. It should be a lot of fun, it’s just too bad it’s going to be so rushy to get back here. These are all other store managers and their wives, that hubby has worked with, or for over his career. All really good people.
Friday is obviously my last day of work until the 8th of January, and I’m sure looking forward to it! I’m going down with hubby when he goes to work, on the 23rd. We’re taking a room, and staying for 2 nights, as Mom doesn’t have enough room at her house for all of us. Ben and Jess will be down on the 24th I think, and leave the night of the 24th, because Ben works 8-4:00 pm on Christmas Day. Sarah and Jay will be down at the farm, and then come to Mom’s Christmas Eve day, and leave Christmas day to go back to the farm. I’m not sure what day my brother is driving down. We’ll go back Christmas day, and end up going in to hubby’s folks for Christmas dinner. After that….I’ll be at one with the ghost of Christmas past.
