Christmas-ness
Well I made it through this Christmas without bouncing one single debit card transaction. I have 12 dollars in the bank and rent is due in a week. I'll make it though, always do. Besides, I did pretty well with my gift giving and I'm happy with it.....also happy it's done with though!
Kiddo officially still believes in Santa. She swears she heard something on the roof last night and of course I fed half of the cookies she left out to the dogs so naturally Santa ate them....*cough*....ok ok so maybe I'm letting it go too far, pushing the issue a bit too much for a 10 year old to still believe in Santa....
She was curious as to why he didn't leave her any presents this year....SO WEIRD how ALL the presents are from Mom!!
( Flash back to last year: Kiddo opening the uber amazing dino-robot she wished and hoped for that happened to cost 100 bucks, me watching....pushing three bounced debit cards transactions to the back of my mind....anxiously awaiting the joyful expression on her face when she see's.....
"MOM! this HAS to be from Santa because YOU could NEVER afford it!!")
where was I, oh yes....so Santa left her nothing this year...nadda, zip....nothing but a half eaten oatmeal cookie and some stamping on the roof....and where does that leave me? Basking in the after effects of a day full of "wow, thanks mom"
it was a good christmas :)
