I resigned myself to the fact that I wasn't going to get my real tree this year due to the unusual circumstances. ( the rat eating the car, and being carless for 5 days, and the eternal rain that has turned us into a swamp) So I found a little fake one in the storage room with kinda cute fake acorns on it. I got out my lights, which were 12 feet long, realized those wouldn't work so I went store hunting for a short string. Nobody has any. I bought one with colored lights, which won't really go with my silver and white ornaments, but oh well. Got the lights on, got out the ornaments and Luke grabbed the first one I took out. I chased him to get it back just as he bit it, so I had to make sure I fished all the glass out of his mouth. I put him outside to eat and he stormed in as soon as I opened the door and now I have distinct muddy pawprints all across the den carpet.
Tonight, in about 2 hours, I am keeping the grandbabies so everyone can go to our employee Christmas party. I chose to babysit rather than get out in this weather. Plus, all our employees are young people and I am too mother henny.
Well, hope you guys had a nice day!
