Post-Christmas Day...

<---Meggie's Kitten At our house we celebrate birthdays for three days, pre-birthday day, birthday, and post-birthday day. We only actually celebrate on our birthdays, but we like the idea of making the "holiday" three days long. So today is "post-Christmas Day" in Debbie's World. Christmas was awesome as always. Now that the kids are older we don't have to get up at 4AM. We all slept until after 8:30 AM. This was not too late since I was up until 1:30 with "elfwork" to finish. After gifts Alex went back to bed and Meggie and I had waffles. I finished wrapping for Kathy's house (my sister), prepared my pasta dish to pass, and took a leisurely shower. After prying Alex out of bed we arrived at Kathy's house shortly after 12 noon. We opened presents, had dinner and pie and visited. The kids and I came home around 4PM, Brian stopped at 6:30 PM with way too many gifts for the kids. The kids and Brian exchanged gifts, we ate snacks, and everyone played "Guitar Hero." (except me...) When Brian went home close to 10PM I was happy to call it a day. Today I worked on my "quantitative decision making" project. It is a huge project that was due a while ago but I got an extension and have to get it in the mail by Saturday. It is an exercise in applying the statistics theories we learned in class. I started the project when I was at my old job, so the project applies to the grant writing business. I will be glad when it is finished and in the mail. It is 3/4 done, yeah! I will be so glad when college is done! Megan and Alex have been assembling her "loft bed" since 5:30PM. This was her "big" present from me. It is silver with a desk and shelves underneath. I think they almost have it assembled. This is good since it is 9PM here and soon will be bedtime. This is the gift that my Mom, Step-Dad and I went out after Saturday morning. We got the last one and was it HEAVY! It weighed a ton! Then we had to get it out of the truck and into the garage, then into the house on Christmas Eve. I will never buy suck a HEAVY present again, EVER! Megan does seem to like it though, so I guess it was worth the effort. While we were out I bought Roger, my Step-Dad a green elf hat to wear since he was helping me do my elf-work. Tomorrow is a work day so I am going to sign off...to be continued...
