Christmas

For the first time in a really long time, I am looking forward to Christmas. I have dreaded Christmas for many years. Part of it is just the hustle and bustle of trying to get the perfect gift for your loved ones. This year, I let my brothers know that I was focusing more on the boys this year and I would not be getting them much since it was more important to me that my boys have a nice Christmas.


Last year, we put a tree up but the only decorations that were on it were the ones I had bought at Hallmark while working there. Just was not in the mood - this year my tree was up and decorated right after Thanksgiving.


Trevor's Christmas listed looked something like this: tires for dirtbike, Watch, clothes (m shirt pants 30 32 burton, fox ,metal mulitia, alpinestar, volcom), season pass to monarch, ipod 16gb, spy heilo white sunglasses, rear fender for my dirtbike, speakers for my car (6 1/2 front 6x9 rear, preferably alpine), mom :'(, new dvd player, different motocross gear hvlp paint spray gun, center channel surround sound speaker, Oakley crowboar snowboarding goggles ( white or black frame with fire lenses), precision screw driver set, nice tool set, black Globe shoes, money, HP printer cartridge #21.


I told Trevor there was one thing that definitely would not happen for Christmas and that was mom moving back home. I told him that I don't know when or if that will happen but that no matter where I am, I love him and his brother and will always be there for them, I am just a phone call, email or text away.


Ronny on the other hand did not send a list but mentioned he would like tires for his truck, a windshield for the truck, maybe some pants and shirts.


This Christmas will be a little different. Christmas eve is still on at my dad's with the entire family. Christmas morning I do not know where I will be. I am hoping to spend sometime with the boys but I know they will be spending time with their girlfriends too.


On the 13th work had there annual safety banquet. It was so much fun. Ben and I went. Had a little too much to drink, went bowling, to Denny's and then to WalMart at 2 am. A friend from the office was the designated driver - thank you very much. What a good time. It started out a tense night, since Trevor was sick and ended up in the emergency room - Ron took him - mono is a pretty wicked illness. He is getting better each day and hope he will be fully recouped by Christmas - that is the thing I would like the most, my baby boy to be feeling better and my oldest to stay healthy.
