Let me explain. No, wait, let me sum up
I haven't posted too much lately, even though I promised myself I was going to be better about it. Blame it on Christmas!
Let me see if I can sum up:
- My dad came for 8 days. It was like having a third parent around. He's so good with my kids, he makes me feel totally inadequate, but I would agree to let him live with us full-time in a heartbeat if I thought he'd move to Texas.
- Christmas happened. We managed to keep the number of gifts under control, but the size of the gifts is killing me. It would figure the year of the giant toys is also the year of the tiny apartment.
- Rex and I spent two nights and a day away. By away, I mean about 20 minutes from here in a hotel. We spent most of the time in bed watching endless tv and reading. We managed to get out and see a movie, but that was about it.
- I had some major weird stomach pain. It was the worst the first day, but then took about a week to get back to mostly normal. I'm not sure if I should blame it on the Pei Wei, but regardless I won't be ordering Mongolian beef anytime soon. I had barely any appetite for most of the week, and I think I may have lost all of a pound.
- On the morning of the 26th, I eradicated Christmas from the apartment.
- My dad rearranged the entire garage and added a chair from the living room. There is enough room for my van plus some. I am in awe.
- My dad left. Later that day, I got back to being insane.
