The Holidays, Part 3 - I'm Going Fucking Insane

I'm a person with very little tolerance for even the smallest annoyances.  Gavin, yes, he's my child prodigy.  He's fucking great at everything he does.  So, you can imagine after only a few days, he's totally awesome at Rock Band.  Particularly the drums.  He's got excellent rhythm, but my house is small and the beating of the drums can be heard all through the house....... At 7am......  I can't complain though.  He gets Ev out of bed and plays with him until I get up, even if that means them sitting at the drums beating on them.

I'm annoyed from the minute I get up because of this whole drum thing.....  It's a damn good thing I didn't get him the real drum set that he wanted for his birthday.

Nothing really happened for the next couple of days.  I resumed my work schedule of 8-5 while everyone else in the house slept till noon.  It's times like this that I wish I had a job with the school system....  Tara and I were still non-committal about having a New Years party.  We just really didn't want all the hassle involved and neither of us had the money to do it up the way we wanted.  Finally on Wednesday we decided that we'd have a small party.  Especially since Kyle can't go back to the local watering hole and that's the only place that would let him in.  I decided I didn't feel like working on Thursday, so I took Ev to daycare and slept in.

Kyle was kind enough to run all over our side of town with me after we got up.  He even treated me to breakfast :)  I made all the standard stops, grocery store, liquor store, bank, etc.  By the time we picked Ev up at daycare (because they closed at 3) I was exhausted, but still had stuff to do, so no nap for me.  Kyle laid down, I set out to make some 7 Layer Taco Dip and a party play list because I'm always the DJ.  By the time I finished all of that and got Ev ready for bed, it was time to shower and go.

We had only invited like 20 people to the party.  That's nothing when I had probably 50 at my birthday.  At various points in the night we probably had 20 show up.  We had Sweedish Fish shots and played Fact or Crap.  It was hilarious.  We almost missed the ball drop because we were all being retarded dancing and running around the house.  Luckily I looked at the clock at 11:57 and we turned the tv on.  WOO FUCKING HOO, Happy New Year....

After that, things start to get a little hazy.  I do remember that my ex-husband showed up because Tara invited him.  It was kind of weird to be the person who'd had sex with the most people in the room.  That title is usually reserved for Tara.  Ugg....  We were both wasted by this point, so we had weird conversations about Ev and the big kids and all that other stuff.  He asked Kyle if I'd taken him to Vegas yet and I managed to blurt out, HE'S NOT EVEN 21.  Ha, funny.......  Dave showed up with his "girlfriend".  I put that in quotes because I'm not sure what the hell is going on there.  She's way too hot to be with him........  It was weird, but he's talking to me and Kyle again, so I guess it's all good.

Somehow we manage to get down the street and into bed around 4am.....

I'm really sorry no pictures.  I promise I'll get my camera from Tara tonight and get the funnies up for you guys :)
