Good weekend
Well things are going nicely.
Holidays are coming and we are pretty much unprepared hehehe.
Luckily Thanksgiving is at Tami's Parents so we don't have to plan for that.
Christmas is another story altogether. Tami doesn't so much have a list of things she would like, and there is going to be obligatory guilt on both our parts for getting anything from the other that is a bit costly, so it is going to be an interesting event.
Both of us have things we want I am sure.
But neither one of us wants to be the reason for a large spending of cash considering all of our current and future financial responsibilities.
The kids. Oh the kids.
We both know that whatever we get them will be unapreciated and probably torn apart within a week. But we both WANT to get them things. To provide them with the things they want, even if it is unwise to give so easily.
I don't know if we will succeed in controlling ourselves this year or not.
We did OK last year.
Still more than half of the toys they got were destroyed and they couldn't care less.
I feel bad about that. For some reason I feel it is my job to give them LOTS of stuff, even if I know they are not taking care of it and not treating the things they get with any kind of respect or responsibility.
It is not easy to be sure.
I want to get Tami something really nice this year but I don't know what. The things she has said she wants, are all rather small things and I am confident they are "guilt free" things.
I know there is something big she doesn't want to tell me about hehehe.
I just need to figure out what it is and then decide if there is anything I can do about it.
Sorry for not calling anyone back this weekend.
Just been real busy is all. Work work and work.
Then Kids and Tami. Trying to balance as much as I can.
Love you all.
I am glad things are going well. Christmas is a drag on everyone's wallets (mine too) Robert and I don't tend to do things for each other for Christmas. I would say, (and I am not a typical woman so it may not work) try doing little special things like get a sitter, make a special dinner for 2, or draw her a bath light some candles and scrub her back or wash her hair. An evening alone can be a wonderful gift, when you have young children. Hope to talk to you soon,
Love to you and yours,
Nichole
