It's getting close...

Wow Christmas came and gone just like that! We had a great Christmas - just the three of us. It seems booboo was just counting down the days til xmas day and now it's over. I had been off since the 24th. Sad to say but we ended up not going to the in-laws anymore. Hubby had to work on xmas eve. It would be too much to gather everything and drive 12 hours down on xmas eve to arrive on xmas morning and try to make it back the following Monday. Mil was pretty disappointed. I felt super terrible! I hate to see my in laws disappointed and hurt. If it was all up to me, I would have gone down without hesitation. Anyway, we'll make it up to her.

WARNING: Long entry...

Anyway, we went over to Em and Thai's place on xmas eve to deliver Julius' present and let's just say it was not what I expected at all. On our way there, I called/txt'd them constantly to let them know that we were stopping by to drop off Julius's present. Both of them did not pick up their cell phones at all. I left them both voice/text messages but still no response. I figured Em had to be home and Thai at work. We arrived at their apartment complex and I noticed their living room lights are on. I thought of nothing but only that maybe Em was feeding or giving Julius a bath and didn't hear her phone. So I got out of my car and went to their door and knocked. After a few knocks I heard a male voice that I didn't recognized but thought it might be Thai's voice. Maybe he's got the flu and he lost his voice (I don't know). He yelled out, "who is it?", I responded in confusion and being funny, "what do you mean who is it?". He asked one more time and I said, "who's this?". So then he said, "sorry you have the wrong house", and I quickly responded in confusion, "I do?". Still confused as to why he would tell me I got the wrong house. Ok at this point, I really thought I got the wrong house because I hardly visit them. Then as I stepped away from the door, and Thai calls me back. I answered and asked him where he was and he told me he was at work. I asked him where Em was and he said she should be home. I am totally confused at this point and then I proceeded the conversation and asked him if there's anyone with Em and he said yes, her friend and bf. Then I told him that I knocked on the door and some male told me that I had the wrong house and also asked him to confirm his apt #. After he confirmed the number, I didn't have the wrong house. Anyway, told Thai that we stopped by to drop off Julius's present. He told me that he would try to get a hold of Em. A few minutes later, Em opens the door and she's on the phone with Thai all angry and cussing. Anyhow, I was in shocked that someone would tell me that I had the wrong house. Still shocked that they didn't just open the door to see who it was before saying that I had the wrong house. Honestly, I was a little hurt when I saw Em opened the door and on the phone with Thai. In my mind, I'm thinking...I would never NOT OPEN the door for them, why would they to me? Ok, still shocked and confused and not really knowing what Thai and Em were saying to each other. I ran back to my car and grabbed the present and booboo got out of the car and followed me to their apt. After I handed the present to Em, she was really mad and yelled out, "Aunt Joua, WTF did you say to Tiny?" right in front of her gf's bf. I was shocked to hear this because my son was right behind me and heard all of this. Then her gf's bf apologize that he didn't know who I was and he said that he asked Em if she was expecting anyone and she said no. Therefore he didn't open the door. Em insisted that I come in and meet her gf and the bf but honestly, I pretty much felt like a fool by then. I couldn't face her friend and bf after she made it sound like I said something to Thai and he's cussing her out. I really don't know what was said between them two but yeah when she yelled out, "WTF did you to Tiny?". I told her all I said was that they (meaning whomever it was that opened the door) didn't open the door and told me that I had the wrong house. Basically, this whole thing was a miscommunication that blew up in proportion. I felt like I should have NEVER dropped by, by surprise that is and maybe none of this would have happened. But we just couldn't wait to give Julius his gift.

Anyway, Em did call/txt and apologized about the whole thing. Even though I was confused, shocked, and a little hurt I didn't let it get to me. It was all a misunderstanding/miscommunication only. No worries. However, I was a little disappointed that my son had to witnessed all of this. Later he asked me why his SIL Thai was angry. Don't worry, I explained everything to him and it's all ok now. I kid you not, kids are smarter than you think. Don't ever underestimate them or their thinking. **wink**

Anyway, Christmas Eve/Day was very nice. Woke up to make breakfast and then opened our gifts. Booboo loved EVERYTHING we got him. It's a good feeling when you can fulfil their wish list. hahaha

Day after Christmas we went shopping and bought a ton of xmas supplies for next year. It was sooo dirt cheap. Everything was 75% off so yea I spent no more then $1.49 for each individual item. The only expensive thing I bought is the BIG storage box that I needed to store all the stuff I just bought. Yep, I'm stocking up for next year. I can't wait. Instead of the traditional xmas red, white, blue, green theme, our color for next year is royal blue and silver!!!! Whoohoo!! lol Pretty much the whole weekend was spent inside watching movies - from morning til late morning the next day.

Saturday and Sunday night, headed to the recreational gym and played volleyball. Sunday had the best turnout though. There were people that I've never seen before who came by and played. I'm just happy that everyone knows how to play. I was also very happy that my hubby tagged along, too! He was SUPER sored afterwards. Hahaha...reminds me of me the first couple of days I went to play.
