2 days and watching for snow

Well, as would be expected, in my world anyway, travel plans are about to be messed up. We are now unsure if we can make the drive to the in-laws because of weather. We are supposed to get a beating, and the storm is supposed to head east, right where we are headed. I guess we will just wait and see...

Things have been busy at work. We had our holiday party on friday. The party itself wasn't as good as it could have been, the food was great, the location was great, the gifts were blah, and as usual, there were many inside jokes. My boss had a party at his place afterward, which was a blast of a time. I got pissed drunk, but had a most awesome time. Saturday I felt fine, despite my rough Friday night. This actually suprised me. the honey was kind enough to stop drinking so that I could do shots. My mistake was keeping up with the regular drinkers. I don't drink enough to keep up with someone who does it every weekend. Learned a new recipe for Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip. DAMN tasty stuff... does NOT go with Jack and Lemonade though.

I missed therapy today because the Princess needed picked up at school cause she didn't feel good. We had an expensive emergency yesterday when the Expedition got a flat tire. This fix required $500 in 2 new tires, alignment, oil change. YIKES. Oh well, fortunately, we are doing OK on finances that it wasn't a eat or drive type of situation, it just makes the travel for the holiday a little more tight. It might even mean no casino for me.. OH NO, THE HORROR!

The kids are way excited, and I am too. The Princess has guessed most of her presents. The boy thinks that he got his already. We gave early presents on Saturday, but not the important ones for the Princess. We took the boy to get his rollerblades so that he could try them on. Holy crap am I glad we did. Size 10. OMG. He got nice ones, but they are hockey skates, so are taking him some getting used to. But he thinks thats all he's getting, mostly because thats what we told him, but he's in for a huge surprise. He's getting good stuff, besides the rollerblades. The princess is too, but she got more clothes than he did, and she's been given some of it already. That was her early gift. There are still some more things I'd like to get her, but with the holiday fast approaching and the emergency expense, it will have to wait until after they come back from their Dads.

My neck has been jacked up since Saturday, but I just keep plugging along. I wanted to go to therapy yesterday, but couldn't manage it with the Princess not feeling well. The honey didn't get to work till noon, so he couldn't very well take off early to go get her, so it fell on my shoulders. Tomorrow though, I will hopefully get some work for the trip that will help. I did manage to push through the final shopping and what not on Sat and Sun, even with a horrible headache and stiff neck. That was the best thing. I don't think the honey knows how much I appreciate his helping me get shopping done and all the time he has spent at the mall and in crowded places. I know he hates all that stuff, but he has totally been a trooper and stepped up to the plate to help me since I couldn't physically do it all myself. I wish that I could, but I can't shop like I used to since the accident.

I was also a gigantic bitch on sunday cause I didn't feel well, but he understood that too. This whole accident has put a strain on our relationship, because it demands so much of him, but I appreciate all that he has done for me.

I know one of my presents, and now I am struggling with guilt for having asked for something expensive. I appreciate it, I want it, but it isn't necessary and it was quite a bit of money that we could now use. However, I have wrapped it instead of having it early and we'll see if I end up taking it back. I do want it though. I don't know what else that I got, but the honey got me something that he has been super secretive about. He knows I hate the surprises. Its easier for me not to know, but he's not that sly, heh.

Its coming, hopefully we get to be with family, but either way, I am stoked to have the kids and they would just have to wait on some of the gifts that are at grandmas house if we don't get to go. I think we will though. We have the 4WD now, and have the time to get a hotel if needed. So, we'll see how that all plays out over the next couple days with this storm.
