Post Holiday Blues

Christmas has come and gone and now I am left with all the trash. Good Ole Mister Trash Man will be earning his pay tomorrow. I have dozens of bags full of garbage on the curb tonight.

The latest routine with my demon spawn 3 year old is this: I sit in his room in a rocking chair surfing the web or writing this blog and falls asleep in the bed next to me. Well, tonight he fell asleep earlier in the truck on the way home, so I might be here all night. Obviously the wife was fooling around with someone that hates sleep, because these monsters cannot be mine. If they were, they would treasure slumber the way I do.

So over the weekend, I took the family to the Christmas Tree downtown in our fine capital, Washington, D.C. Nosaj was with us in his ride. Lumpy gives us directions to a parking garage and Nosaj takes the lead. We get stopped at the entrance and security checks our rides for hidden bombs or terrorists. I ask dude how much to park here and he replies that he is not a parking attendant.OK then. Nosaj is in the lead. We come to a fork in the road. One way says parking, the other exit. Guess which Nosaj chooses?? We follow him and end up making the same U-turn that he does to get to the parking lot and not the exit. The Tree was jam packed this year. Horrible to move around in, especially with strollers. But great to drop some crop dusters in. I mean, I was letting em roll right out and standing still because of traffic in front of me. The people behind me would have to suffer. I heard others being blamed for the fog. I heard gasps of horror. But I just kept on pushing the stroller and minding my own business.

Last night the wife had us all out returning gifts. I think that is the purpose of Christmas, buy as much as possible and return it all for more stuff. We stopped by the mall and found the store with her sister working. So you know I am not getting out of there quickly. She is the wife of Nosaj. And I might say, not a very good employee. I asked her several times for price checks on items and she would not respond. I also dropped several items on the floor and she would not pick them up for me. It is so hard to get good service any more. I might have to write to corporate about her.
