Long over due

Sorry, I didn’t mean to have such a gap since my last post.
Since my last post on December 20…I worked all that week. On Friday we went to meet SD1 and her grandparents for dinner. That went well and SD1 came home with us for the Christmas weekend. My trust for her grandparents is still shaky as they have done a lot of bad things for 8 years to me and to hubby before I came along but I do believe they are truly doing the best for SD1. Hubby, me and the kids all went to Christmas eve service at church. Then we came home to open gifts. Both were happy with what they received and it was nice and stress free.
On Christmas Day we got up and went to Waffle House for a nice breakfast/lunch. The kids thought it was fun. Then we headed to MIL house for chaos. The gifts she gave were awful and all had to be returned but that is the norm. She gave both girls pajamas that would be fine but they looked like they were for a 5 year old and the price was $4 when I took them back. But they survived.
The day after Christmas hubby had to work and I was taking SD1 to meet/go back home with her grandparents and SD2 to meet her mom for dinner. Her mom cancelled and did not show up to me and SD2 hit the mall – why yes I am just that stupid. You would do it for her too. She wanted to hit Hollister with her gift card and cash. We stood in the check out line for an hour but it was fun quality time as those things do not stress me out.
SD2 started driving school for her learners permit on Dec 27. She had to get up at 6am every day to ride with her dad and she never complained or anything. Me and her were both battling a cold but we kicked it to the curb. She passed her test with a 96 and will get her learners permit as soon as school starts back up (you have to prove you are in school to get a permit).
On Friday 12/30 SD1 had a lock in at church and she had a BLAST! It was from 10pm to 6am. Hubby picked her up as I was still fighting the cold. She slept the next day until 4:30pm while hubby and I ran some errands. They her and hubby went to our group’s NYE get together. I stayed home and rested with Nyquil. They got home around 11:45 so we said Happy New Year to each other.
Jan 1 hubby did a 5k run and placed 3rd in his age group!! SD2 and I hung out and I cooked meatloaf and mac & cheese. She really likes those type of meals. We then met some friends later on that evening.
Jan 2 hubby had to work. I took SD2 to a friends house for a slumber party. This friend is from her old school so it is more than an hour away. She really appreciated me taking her there as her mom didn’t and she always had to reley on others for a ride and I took her to get a gift. She had a good time at the slumber party.
Hubby took off on Jan 3 so he could pick her up from said party since it was over at 11am on a weekday – who does that???
SD2 goes back to school tomorrow. New semester. I hope this semester goes well for her and she makes friends.
I am slowly woring on her 16th birthday party. Send help please!!
Otherwise this gets us all up to date. I am alive and well but with nasal dripping. Anna is loving having us home during the holidays but also ready for us to go away so she can nap.
Hubby and SD2 are cooking dinner tonight since I am at work and they are home. This should be good.
