Thank you Ican,
We didn’t end up getting a tree today. The plans got changed. We ended up in Orlando with my sister and brother-in-law. They called when we were out this morning and invited us to go to Bass Pro Shop with them….no kids! Just grown ups and it was so funny because my husband had just shownn me a gift card he had from last year ($25) that he had never used. So we just up and dumped the teenager back at the house and had the best day ever. We ate at Moonfish for 1/2 price happy hour then went next door to The Meting Pot for chocolate fondue. She treated me to a Hawaiian Cosmo (fabulous)! We bought a few Christmas gifts and all total spent about 9 hours laughing and having a blast.
So I did end up celebrating my new job.
I took the teenager’s phone with me and hid the video game controllers, so he had a productive day completing a
ton of homework! Trust me, you must not feel bad for him. We took him out to breakfast this morning and he procrastinates so bad about homework sometimes you have to take away the distractions.
Being on the interstate at night reminded me of all the trips to the casino, but just a reminder. No real desire to go. What a great day I had today!
