We had a great holiday season. Nothing outrageous. Just family and fun. It started with my parents visiting. It was great to see them. My mom was tired from her chemo, but we managed to prepare dinner before the big day. I was still not old enough or worthy to prepare anything. I was on clean up/ clean after duty like i always am.. I am wondering when i will be old enough or wise enough to cook in my own kitchen when my parents are around. We celebrated the morning of Christmas Eve. Santa called and knew i would have to work Christmas Day. The kids went to bed. Massimo was sooo excited. The next morning when he woke up he barged into our room.. He came He Came!! The kids open gifts and a good time was had by all. That night we had our friends over and enjoyed a great meal. I haven't gotten to the gym in several days. I felt guilty and like shit for not going. But on another note. I bought pants that were a size 20!! WOOO HOOO.. and tops that were 2x's. SO i am getting somewhere. I can't wait to get back to the gym this week and get going again..
