Christmas day: Kids got up around 8am (I was up at 7). As SOON as they were told they could come out for their presents, Kaity says, "I BETTER have gotten jewelry!"-auto jump on my nerve. Then, after they open everything, Kaitlynne says, "Where's the rest of it?"-the whole day just started going to shyt at this point. We got ready and went over to Alex's brother's house for 'brunch'. The girls trash the joint, and I catch mine trying to TAKE something from one of Alex's nieces! I was HUMILIATED!!! I smacked the shit outta her hand when we got outside to leave, I just couldn't believe it. Then, we go over to Kim's mom's house, and I catch Kaity digging thru one of the kid's stockings looking for stuff. Oh, I left out an important part in there...before going to anyone's house, we went to the hotel (had to follow Nick to Adam's house). As soon as Kaity see's Martha (Nick's mother-in-law-of-sorts), she says, "Where's my presents?" Alex and I about died (Martha didn't get her anything, duh!), so as soon as Martha closes her door, I get BOTH of the kids aside (knowing that Kaitlynne will be the next to do this), and say DO NOT under ANY circumstances ask anyone for presents, that is so RUDE!!!! So, we go around the corner to Nick and what do ya know, BOTH of the girls go asking for presents! Alex and I didn't know about this part until later, or I would have told Nick not to give them a DAMN thing! Needless to say, they were totally ungrateful, rude, mean-spirited BUTTWADS! They have already lost one present (yep, one is getting given back to Santa..their 'fur-real kitties'..one of the 'big' gifts), and they have not been allowed to open any more of their gifts to play with today. Kaitlynne has NEVER acted like this, and Alex swears Kaity hasn't, either. It was so embarrassing, and all I could think of is how a child's behavior reflects on the parent. I must have screwed up royally somewhere this year. Maybe trying too hard to compensate for it being such a rough year for Kaitlynne, as far as all the changes...I dunno.
Anyway, we're finally getting a break. They have been in their room for an hour now. Alex is *supposed* to be watching football, but I hear him snoring from here. I'm just goofing off on here, relaxing.
It's almost too embarrassing to print this journal entry...people see how our kids acted. I was told by quite a few people that we weren't alone yesterday, something in the water with the kids being like this. But...I feel better airing it out. Going to go get the digi-cam outta the car and get the pics on here that I took yesterday. Speaking of the damn car, the engine light is on today and it's running like shyt. So, gotta get it to the shop tomorrow and pray they get it done by Wednesday so I can go to Orlando....and of course Saturday we take Kaity back and need a reliable car...UGHHHHHHHHHH! It did get me to Walmart to get some cheap Christmas stuff tho. I dunno...I just know that for the money we paid for the warranty, it BETTER be something that's covered!!!
Eh, I'm done..for now anyway. *Toodles*
