I’ve spent the day in a Santy hat…of course it’s only 11am or so, I really shouldn’t be complaining. We put up the tree last night and now suddenly it’s Christmas. The word tree can be a bit misleading. It’s a crappy 3ft piece of plastic pretending to be a tree. It looks pretty though…if the lights are off. Not because you can’t see it but because the fibre optics, lights and decorations look really well in the dark. They do. *nods sagely*
December is really having a wierd effect on us. We argued over what tree to get yesterday. What size, what colour, what price and we weren’t even in the same building. He kept asking me what I wanted, I kept telling him what I wanted and he kept disagreeing with what I wanted. “Get whatever the fuck you want then!” I shouted at him before hanging up the phone. He got the one I wanted. *looks sheepish*
Is it just me or does December make everything irritating? I think he’s worried I’m pregnant I’m so hormonal at the moment. I just want to get a move on with everything and he’s all lacksy daisy about it. I don’t want to do everything on Christmas Eve this year!! Speaking of being pregnant, I want to be. He doesn’t want me to be. Hmm…that’s never happened before so I’m not quite sure what to do about that.
This time last year I was around 6/7 months pregnant and I was huge. Nobody thought I’d make it past Christmas, I was seriously ginormous. Before I gave birth, my skin was starting to wear very, very thin it was so stretched. Christmas four years ago, I was going through unbelievably bad morning sickness and I spent Christmas day alone. I couldn’t keep down water at that stage, it was horrible. So I’m not really sure why I want to be pregnant again when I think about things like that. Although I’m very sure when I look at my children play together. Another one would fit in nicely. I can see Mr. Claire buying me a puppy instead. He doesn’t like how I look at babies on the telly. Not my fault I’m permanently broody. I actually think there is something wrong with me. I’ve been broody since I was 12…:)
With that thought….have a great day 😉 I know, I really have to stop talking about Christmas…and babies…and Christmas. I keep planning on talking about other things but it always comes back to “see above”. Okay, I want a baby for Christmas. A puppy would be nice but a poor second. What is it you want during the holidays this year??
Major Headache

A really bad headache started this morning and it’s getting worse as the day goes on. I think I must extra irritable this week 🙂
On my other blog this morning, a comment was posted saying that I had to remove a post or the matter would be passed onto “the” solicitors. Of course, I have to get riled up and reply. And annoy myself for the entire day *sigh* When will I ever learn 🙂
Forgetting about that, something is approaching that I can’t forget about no matter how much I try. Christmas. Santa Claus. Decorations. Presents. I. Can’t. Cope.
Yesterday, in the middle of the paper was an Argos magazine full of toys. My son had a field day. All I heard all day long was Mammy, look at that! Oh, Mam, Thomas the Tank Engine!, Mammy, what’s that? Mammy, Mam, Ma, look, Look, LOOK! My head felt like it was going to explode. Usually I’m a lot more patient when the lil fella looks at pictures of toys, I remember what it was like to get so over excited about it but yesterday I was too concerned with the Christmassy pictures reminding me that I have nothing prepared or planned.
I am completely hopeless when it comes to Christmas. Everything happens at the last minute in a rush (if they happen at all) and I am by far, the worst gift buyer in the whole wide world. Doesn’t matter how well I know someone, I cannot think of one good present to get them. If they only knew the pain loved ones put me through when they say things like, ah, I don’t want anything, or, anything you get will be lovely, I’m sure. No, no, it won’t, are you forgetting the present I got you last year??
Ooh, hyperventilating just a little bit now…I can’t handle the pressure of gift buying you see. I wish I had a personal shopper that was so clever, they could tell me exactly what to get everyone I know. Actually, it would be easier if people would just tell me what they want and not act all coy about it. Just give it up! Help me, help you. It’s not so much to ask is it?
