No blahs for us!

Things are going well.

My stepdaughter was supposed to be training to get her driver's license when she turns 16, which is this month, but due to several things school-wise, she was put on the back burner and hasn't met her required school driving hours. It took three school trips from me and just one from my husband before they finally had her start driving (I had a huge problem with people driving that weren't turning 16 for six months [OR MORE], but here she was needing to get those hours in and being ignored [not that she was fighting for it all that much]). So she's finally been getting her driving hours in.

As it stands she still needs some 30-odd hours of driving time to complete with us before she qualifies for her driver's license....so it's unlikely she will get her license when she turns 16....but she is well on her way FINALLY!

I wanted her to drive me everywhere over the summer but she refused. (Like I said she wasn't fighting too hard.)

The kids only have a few more days of school and then they're home for Christmas break. Two whole weeks of doing whatever they feel like (after chores are done because I'm a mean mom). I won't like all the extra noise but I like spending time with the kids and it will be super nice to be able to stay in the house. I FOR ONCE have all my shopping FINISHED and I don't like going out in the cold at all so it will be wonderful to stay nice and warm. :)

The big day is nearly here....6 days until Christmas. This is the first year that I can ever remember that I'm excited for Christmas. I've already told everyone I don't need anything so if you haven't gone shopping for me, don't bother. :)

The only three things on my Christmas list this year were 1) All the Child's Play (Chucky) movies on Bluray. 2) Dr. Sleep (Stephen King), and 3) Running shoes.

If I get them great! If not I will start buying them when Christmas is over.

Even though Christmas is near I've started unpacking again. The husband started doing it and he does it wrong LOL. He brings in boxes without even checking them and dumps them in the basement and says: "Deal with it."

Well, ONE box was clothes that were being saved for kids when they get a little bigger so that was a waste to bring in, and the other box was movie boxes, wii boxes, ps2 game boxes and other boxes....all empty. So THAT was a waste to bring in also. He should just leave it to me.

Our washing machine was broken so I'm way behind on laundry, but the husband fixed it yesterday so it's laundry all day today. Waiting on the dryer means only a couple to three loads a day max, but it's better than nothing.

I think that's it.

Merry Christmas y'all!
