Happy Birthday, Babe!!!

It was yesterday, but it didn't dawn on me to cruise by here for a visit!

I love you more than ever and I can't wait to see in you a few short hours for our break in the woodlands!

All my love!

It's Really Good To Be In Love

Looking back on all we've been through over the last 5 years, it's amazing that we are still so totally in love with each other. We have our rough days, but they are rarely about us, just the problems that are thrown at us. I'm lucky that we remember what we have and what we are fighting for.

Merry Christmas

Mr. M and I are watching to Pope and the Christmas Mass. Mr. M is Catholic, I am not. I attended a Catholic college however, and attended Mass each Sunday where I sang in the choir when I wasn't playong Violin as accompaniment. I totally spelled that wrong. I've had 2 glasses of wine and 2 long island ice teas, forgive me. We are having a blast reciting the Latin. I not only took Latin in high school, I took Greek in college, the only non-seminarian student to do so. Yea, I'm a total geek.

I miss church. My neighbor and I were discussing this a couple of nights ago. I grew up in the church, whether my family participated or not. I miss it.....

I'm transparent

Mr. M and I are working on a new project, but today I took some time to go visit our neighbor. We were of course out of town last week and they were in Mexico visiting her family. I adore their twins (boy and a girl), they are basically my niece and nephew since the real ones are 4 hours away. We usually see each other everyday and they can now say my name. It's amazing watching kids learn to talk, I remember it so well with my own, and I'm really enjoying it with the neighbors now.

As soon as I walked in the door one of the twins L, said my name excitedly and then told me "papa, work, gone." He's a flight attendant and will be away for the holiday so they will be joining our family for dinner. As they finished eating and we cleaned them up, L went over to her mom and said "Queen, wine." I almost died. She knew that as soon as we gather at each others home we offer a glass of wine to one another and she was making sure that I got mine as quickly as possible. It was so cute, and yet so scary, lol. We then played for a little while and got them into bed. It was so adorable, they had to come tell me goodnight after we had read a couple of books together and Mom was trying to get them to lay down. We of course caught up and had a nice evening together while Mr. M got some time with the boys. Now we'll be getting ready for Santa to visit and be thankful for so many wonderful people in our lives.....

Craft project waiting to happen

What do you do with all the white balls at the bottom of a package of non pareils?

The whirlwind update

I cannot believe Christmas is almost here. I really haven't felt the "season" yet. I try to avoid the city during the entire month of December as unfortunately every store is in one spot and traffic is just a complete mess. Tomorrow I will be finishing all of the shopping and then trying to figure out where we are staying when we go to PA to visit my family. I had intended on going up Sat morning but my sister decided to schedule her daughter's birthday party for 11 am. With a 4 hour drive, I'm not subjecting myself and the kids to a 6 am wakeup call. There is only one penthouse hotel room in the city that fits 6 people, and it's already booked, so no idea where we will be sleeping.

On Saturday we celebrated Mr. M's brother's birthday, the one from Thankschilling 05. It was a blast. I don't think we laughed that hard in a year. Of course, we got totally blitzed and apparently I got pissed at Mr. M for him not wanting to makeout with me, whoops. I decided I was leaving and gathered my things and tried to walk home. Ha. I made it about 20 feet when I fell on my ass (IT WAS ICY!) and decided to just sit in the van until he was ready. I'm such a catch. Either he saw me leave or he's psychic, as he magically appeared at the drivers side door just as I was unlocking my door.

I've been trying to convince Mr. M to allow me to start a new blog about Psycho Mom, with all our "evidence" over the past 13 years. You would be blown away, but as of yet, I haven't received his permission. (HINT: Bug him for me, thanks!)

I'm now going to down 3 Benadryls so I can get some sleep tonight. If Mr. M snores, you can pick him up on the side of the road for me, he'll be lonely.....

The karma bus has arrived

So, after the last update, Psycho Mom did indeed file her little false contempt petition, and a hearing was granted. For December 26th. Yea. So, whether or not she WON the contempt she would still succeed in destroying our Christmas by literally separating us on Christmas day so Mr. M could drive 4 hours to stay overnight by himself for the hearing the next morning. So he took one shot and wrote a letter to the judge asking for a continuance or to deny the hearing outright.

The hearing was scheduled to be in front of a different judge because he's Jewish and is pretty much the only one working the day after Christmas. He has heard several things on our case, but not the original contempt petition and order that was entered concerning this Christmas schedule. So Mr. M let him know why he was awarded the holiday, the dates that are in the order and who the judge was. Most judges don't want to go against a ruling another judge has made in good faith, especially one that they work with, and who is essentially their boss. Duh! So, today we got the voicemail:

CONTINUED TIL JANUARY 24TH AND TO BE HEARD IN FRONT OF THE ORIGINAL JUDGE!!!!!!

You have no idea how much we screamed for joy at hearing this. The karma bus has finally hit that fat cunt right where she deserves. She will NOT ruin our Christmas and she will NOT get her kids. She will also LOSE the contempt petition and we will be asking for sanctions. The tide is turning and she can't even see the wave coming. We are not notifying her of the continuance, and are hoping they don't send her letter so she shows up to court on the 26th. Either way, she will have a fucking freakout when she finds out, and what I wouldn't pay to see the look on her face. Thank you for all of your thoughts! We will finally all be together with no way for her to disrupt the holiday.....
