Retreat to my Bedroom

Christmas Eve continuation......OMG my step dad is driving me crazy!! We woke up this morning and my mother was in a hurry for her two (2) Tall Cappuccino's from Krispy Kremes, so I quickly through something on and headed out to retrieve them. I arrived at Krispy Kreme and the place was packed. My arched nemesis must have forgotten to roster and extra person on for the Christmas Eve rush of extra people out and about. What a dumb bitch!! When I was the Store Manager and even while I was just the Assistant Manager, we always put an extra staff member on Christmas Eve and we also ordered extra doughnuts for this influx. I felt sorry for Trina.......she was steaming her ass off. While I was there I grabbed my step dad a Tall Flat White coffee as well.......well, that was a big mistake!! When I returned home and he began to drink his coffee, the started running around my kitchen like a lunatic on crack chanting "This coffee is shit"......."This coffee is shit". He reminded me of a kid with ADHD.
My day progressed normally until it was time to head to the shops for the Christmas dinner food. I swear everyone in Sydney had the same idea. This town is definitely in procrastination mode!! (I don't classify myself into this group.....I'm in denial, lol) What a fucken nightmare!! We waited in a line for about 35 minutes just to check out. My solution to this problem.......offer double time pay to work Christmas Eve and I'm sure everyone would be willing to work therefore we would get out of the shop faster. I saw the cutest thing at the Fruit Market. There was this girl dressed up as one of Santa Elves. She was so cute, she was short, fat, and even had the Elves ears. I approached her and asked her if she would take a photo with me (I've posted the photo on Facebook) so we snapped a photo.
We returned home with over $300 worth of food that I have absolutely no room in either of my fridges for. So I suggested to my husband that he was going to have to take "SOME" of his Corona's out of the fridge to make room. He went absolutely biz-irk and ranted "What......am I supposed to drink warm beer?".......no you dumb nut......I just can't figure men out are they really that dumb?? I mean half of his beer was cold and the other half would go in once the first half came out......right......isn't that how it's supposed to happen. YES it is!!
I managed to cram into my cupboards and fridges all the food and I even managed to begin preparing some of tomorrow's lunch. My beautiful little girl cheerfully reminded me, while I was up to my elbows in onions, that I promised to take her to see the Christmas lights around the neighbourhood. How the hell do kids remember shit like that. I mean she can't even remember to take a fucken shower but she can remember that I promised to take her to see the lights on the 24th. I'm sure I promised this over a month ago. So off to the "Cascades" we trekked!! It seems that everybody and their brother had the same idea. What a joke. I couldn't believe the amount of traffic through this neighbourhood. Doesn't anybody stay home on Christmas Eve and just get blind?? I guess not!!
Anyway I managed to get home and have now retreated to my bedroom to blog my worries away. I once again want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year!!
