Christmas was good

...But it was almost horrible. Jeremy and I ended up getting into a huge fight Christmas Eve. Part of it was legitimate, but I think it was made worse by the fact that we were both crazy tired, and stressed from general holiday stuff.

Jeremy went to a movie with his Dad Christmas Eve, which I agreed too. But then when the movie was over and he still wasn't home I tried to call and text him - and he didn't answer or return my calls. It worried me a little, because Jer is attached to his phone so I knew he had it and he checks it pretty constantly. Finally he calls me back - he's OK, but he decided to go to the mall with his Dad.

This ticked me off. I was fine with him going to the movie, and really even fine with him going to the mall as well, but I just thought it was pretty rude of him not to call and let me know. I mean, no, I'm not his wife, and he doesn't need permission or anything like that, but it was Christmas Eve - a time when most people are home with their kids, and we also just had a baby a few weeks ago. It just would have been nice if he had thought to check in with me to make sure I was OK before he decided to do his own thing, if that makes any sense. I mean I would have, if I had been him (which, for the record, I haven't been out by myself like that since Cayden was an infant. And I told Jeremy that - he's gone out lots of times by himself, with his friends to movies or to grab a few beers. And true, he told me I was welcome to go out too, only right now I'm chained to a pump and have to pump every two hours. So, you know. It's just frustrating.)

Anyway, what would have been a minor spat turned into a big deal. And it came close to ruining Christmas, which would have sucked because it turned out to be a pretty good Christmas. I ended up getting spoiled and got a lot of nice things - not that that's what it's about, but still, my family went all out and it was just really nice of them (my sister got me a scribble coach purse, which I've wanted since I first laid eyes on one, but couldn't justify spending the money.) The main reason it was so awesome though is I got to see and spend time with a bunch of my family, which is just always really fun, and seeing Cayden open his gifts was awesome too. He really got into it this year, and it makes me so excited for next year.

I'll post pictures... Sometime, lol. I'm so lazy as of lately, because I'm so tired. I really rarely bust out my computer anymore - I facebook but mainly via my phone and not even that much. I'm really hoping to get my butt in gear with it though. I have almost a whole post writte for the other blog that I'm hoping to get done now that the Christmas crazies are over with - now just to clean up from the Christmas Crazies :-)

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. What was your favorite gift - that you have and recieved?

  1. Hey!! Merry Christmas!

    About your fight, of course when one is exhausted and stressed, anything will be magnified times a hundred, so something that would normally just tick you off and then be shrugged away would, understandably, in your current circumstances, be expanded. I'm glad you guys worked it out and had a wonderful Christmas.

    And I have faith that this new year will bring you and your family joy and blessings!
