Time to link up with Stacy’s Random Rebellion!

I am so ridiculously tired I can’t find the energy to post anything remotely random.

How sad..

The last two nights I have gone into work with not enough sleep and no nap. It made for a shift that dragged slower than molasses and me yawning my face off at midnight. Not good when my shift doesn’t end until 7am.

I came home to a kitchen floor covered in dog puke. I wasn’t amused. Hubby was at work and daughter was standing there hollering Ewwwwwwwwwwwww. Cleaning that up was NOT what I wanted to do before going to bed. Just sayin’…

I am still in my jammies, slurping a coffee but Boobles the cat has popped into my lap purring her little face off. I see a nap coming up very shortly. I can’t stay awake when she gets on my lap and she knows it.ROFL!

Is it me or is this week dragging?

I may have to do a random post on the weekend. When I’m awake and possibly liquored up….

It’s 3pm and I just woke up. My brain is not functioning yet.

Need. Coffee. Now.

Go link up with Stacy...

Woohoo!!! It’s Tuesday and it’s high time I got my arse in gear and linked up with the Random Rebellion with Stacy!!!

• Holy crap. It’s been almost two weeks since I last blogged. Bad me. I often thought of it but haven’t had a chance…until today.
• We went to the last of the family Christmas dinners this past Friday. There were 9 adults,3 kids and 6 dogs. Chaotic is a good word. LOL! We filled our faces on turkey, pork tenderloin, sausage and cabbage and a slew of other dishes before we dove into an enormous batch of cannolis. Love it when Italians cook for you. We literally waddled home.
• Hubby and I ran away from home this past weekend. We got a sitter for the dog and another for the kid and off we went. We left in the morning and spent the day in St. Jacobs, Ont. Off season is definately the time to go. It was a gorgeous mild day out. We walked all over the village and hit a ton of boutiques. There were some great sales. I was lusting after an incredible wrought iron and crystal chandelier and matching lamps for the dining room but it was too rich for my blood at $1200 for the 3 pieces even though it was 40% off. I even got my best friend her Christmas gift. Hee Hee.
• When we were done shopping we made one last stop to the fudge shop and stocked up on fudge and handmade truffles before heading to our hotel in Kitchener. We made reservations through Hotwire. It was apparently a 4 star hotel. Yeah. No. Barely made a 2 star in my opinion. What a dump. We had fun none the less. We went out for nice relaxing dinner and then came back,had a few drinks & entertained ourselves for a few hours if you know what I mean.
• We checked out in the morning, went and had breakfast and then headed back to Hamilton to pick up the dog and the daughter . We had a lovely relaxing weekend with no dog and no daughter. However no laundry or dishes were done either so I had a mountain of both to tackle when we got home. I still am not done the laundry…
• Our daughter went back to school yesterday after Christmas break was done. She puts in a full week and then has Monday off because of a PD day. We aren’t amused.
• I finally got my new webcam today and got it set up as well as Skype. Ridiculously easy setup (compared to 10 years ago. It will be a breeze Connie…)

Well the dishes are done and I am feeling sleepy so I think it’s time to get a cat on my lap and have a snooze before work tonight. Later!! xox

Actually the wreckage isn’t too bad.

• The tree is still up but I am sick of the clutter so I imagine it will be coming down in the next day or two. We have stuffed stashed in various rooms to make room for Christmas crap. I want my house back to normal.
• I had a very lazy holiday season. Got into my jammies when I got home from work on the 23rd and basically stayed in one set or another until an hour before I left for work last night. I was exhausted. I refused to go anywhere. I drove Julie to a friend’s for sleepover on the 23rd(in my jammies) and picked her up on Christmas Eve in a clean pair of jammies (because I just got out of a long hot bubble bath).
• Considering how naughty I was this year, Santa was good to me. I got a new computer chair, new dishes, a crepe pan (better learn how to make the suckers) and an appt to have heated seats installed in my truck.
• I am sooo looking forward to having a toasty hiney when I get off work in the morning.
• The kid made out like a bandit with gift cards, money, new lamps for her room as well as a computer desk & a laptop.
• We haven’t seen her for two days. LOL
• I made a delicious maple glazed ham for the 3 of us. Holy crap was it ever good.
• Maybe this weekend I’ll do turkey. I missed stuffing this year.
• One thing I learned this Christmas is to very careful texting. Hubby and I were happily sexting each other. He wasn’t replying to one of my texts so I fired off another one and sent it. To my DAUGHTER. *crickets* (Connie I can hear you laughing your arse off in Arnprior). She fired off a text to me and I quote “EWWWWWWWWW. MOTHER!!! WHAT THE HECK!!!!! SCARRED FOR LIFE!!”
• Yeah babe…so am I. *face palm* I had a bugger of a time facing her ….
• She wanted to discuss the contents of my text. I wasn’t having THAT conversation….
• Hubby went back to work on Boxing Day and so did I. New Years he has to work too (first one in 22 years) so I am staying put while Julie has a friend over. We’ll nosh on garlic cheddar shrimp and play the game of Life. No texting that night. LOL
• We are counting down until our weekend getaway on Jan 7th. Kids don’t go back to school until Jan 9th so we will be MORE than ready for running away from home..

That’s it from my house. Pretty laid back. Time to link up with Stacy and join the Random Rebellion!

• 12 more days until Christmas. Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! (even my blog is dressed for the occasion) LOL
• I have absolutely No baking although in my defense I have been so bloody busy I haven’t had time.
• My Nanny’s favorite thing was seeing people’s houses decorated for Christmas. It’s one of my favorites too. Christmas this year won’t be the same without her but we have wonderfully, funny memories of her and her pink feathered Christmas tree.
• I am so LOVING all the Christmas music on the radio! Right now I am singing (badly I might add ) to Rocking Around The Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee.
• I love Dean Martin  and Frank Sinatra at Christmas and Rascall Flatts too…
• I need to make a Christmas playlist. What are your favorites?
• My coffee cup is empty. That will never do…

Link up with the Random Rebellion with Stacy and gang! It’s a blast!!
