The kids have gone to be with their dad for the week. Well I do get to have them Christmas Eve because that is the day my family has our Christmas celebrations. It has always worked well for everyone, Christmas Eve at my family’s and then Christmas Day with his. So even in the divorce, we both get to spend quality time with the kids without a lot of debate. I will get them that morning, we will come home and open presents and then go to my family’s for the day and then I will return them that night.
The only thing is that I don’t know about letting them take their new Gameboys to his house. They will want to because they say they are bored there. But things have gotten stolen there and disappeared. Plus there is the evil part of me that says they can bored there and make his life miserable, even though I realize that I’m not being fair to my kids. But in truth it makes no sense for them to take their present from me (out of my hard earned money since I still haven’t seen any child support going on 3 months now) and then get a lot of gifts the next morning.
I had to work yesterday but that wasn’t the end of the world. I used it set up binders for the new year. I’m so anal about these things, I love having a good template for my binder spines that have the company logo and look so organized. Much like how I love that we have some of our low functioning students who come in for job skill training sorting paperclips so that my big paperclips aren’t mixed in with the larger paperclips. This is actually good for them because they work on sorting things and then counting them into packaging.
So today I have slept in, read part of my book, went shopping, made fudge, cleaned the kitchen and am doing laundry and watching a pay per view. Yeah I really know how to spend my free time.
