Abby checking out the presents. I think there might be some food back there. She won't leave the tree alone.

Christmas is over. Why do I still have stress?
Because my youngest step-brother Ivan (6 yrs old) was admitted to the hospital on Christmas Eve. I guess the three different medications they kept switching him to in the past 2 weeks basically just started shutting down his liver. Which made his body produce ammonia. Which made him sleep all day and shake like he had Parkinson's disease when he was awake. They took him off the meds and luckily, Christmas day he was released. Can you imagine being 6 years old and waking up Christmas morning in the hospital? I can't and it made me so upset I've been crying off and on since I found out about it.
My dad, Mary Jane, Ivan, Jared and Frasier the dog were supposed to be leaving today to come back to Rochester for about 5 days to visit since I haven't seen any of them except my dad since they moved. Well, that's not happening anymore obviously because of the above mentioned hospital stay. My dad says he'll try and come down next week but only him and the dog. As much grief as I say my family causes me I miss them and would like to see them and especially give Ivan a hug until he starts screaming to let go of him.
My brother had spent the past week with them so I didn't get to see him either for Christmas. His train was supposed to be in Rochester at 8am this morning. As of 10:30am, the train is due to be back until about 1:30pm today. I have to work at 4pm today so I guess I won't be seeing much of him today either.
Before I found out that the Bunzol's were having a mini-crisis in Illinois, I had suggested to my wonderful boyfriend that we should invite his entire family and my family over for dinner on Tuesday since in the 3 years we've been dating they have yet to ever have met each other plus, we've never had them over for dinner. What the hell was I thinking?!?
I thought I was gonna have a stress free day tomorrow since it's my day off and I was gonna see my 'rents. Now, I will be cleaning the house for people who aren't my family that I just spent the entire day with yesterday.
Right know, my mother is probably in heaven either laughing her ass off at my stupidity of inviting over 8 people for dinner when I've never cooked for more than 4 or crying for me 'cause once again I don't get to see my father when I'm supposed to 'cause something always screws it up. I'm not mad at Ivan for getting sick. He's 6 years old. Not like he planned it. But God had better makes this coming year one of ease and happiness or I swear I'm gonna burn down the city.
Holy cow, why am I still writing on here when I should be cleaning?

Complete nothingness
Today is my dad and stepmother's one year wedding anniversary. What do you get for a one year anniversary? Is it paper?
It's too damn cold outside. If I had wanted to live in sub-zero weather I would have moved to Antarctica.
Thank God all my Christmas shopping is done. No more having to brave the stupid mall traffic and long lines.
Someone tell me again why I'm scanning everything in the club for the second time in a week?
Listening to Jessica and Ashlee Simpson sing "The Little Drummer Boy" makes me physically ill.
There's half a bottle of wine in the frig that is soooooo calling my name right now.
Somehow Christmas Day will be busier than Thanksgiving and I don't even have any family in NY this time.
I miss working my normal hours with Allee, Rae, Felecia and... no that's it. I miss them.
My boyfriend is currently watching some really fucked up movie starring Brittany Murphy, the guy from Almost Famous, the chick that almost does the father in American Beauty and some other semi-big name star and it's all about drugs and it's very odd and I'm too tired to even try to wrap my head around it. It reminds me of Trainspotting but way way way worse. Trainspotting was good. This is crap.
I wonder how I can make the half pack of cigarettes last me through until Friday?
I have Black Eyed Peas stuck in my head. "Lets get it started"
I know I got a digital camera for Christmas and dammit, I want it now!
Thanks everyone who sent me and Jim a card for Christmas. It was much appreciated especially when there is money inside.
Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Enjoy
If Women Ruled...
A man would no longer be considered a "good catch" simply because he is breathing and has a good job
Medical research money would be spent on developing new birth control methods for men
Women with cold hands would give men prostate exams
Baby-sitting, doing dishes, making beds and general house keeping would be considered "Macho"
The hem of men's pants would go up or down depending on the economy
Men would be forced to purchase overpriced clothes every season
Minnie Mouse would get equal billing with Mickey
Overweight men would be encouraged to wear girdles
PMS or Menopause would be a legitimate defense in court
Men would come with papers showing:
Their true identity
Marital and employment status
If they live with their mother
If they've had all their shots
Shopping would be considered an aerobic activity
Men would get reputations for sleeping around
"Ms Magazine" would have an annual swimsuit issue featuring scantily clad male models
Men who designed women's shoes would be forced to wear them
Men would not be allowed to eat gas-producing foods within two hours of bedtime
Men would be as attentive after marriage as they were before
Men would be secretaries for female bosses, working twice as hard for none of the credit
Little girls would read "Snow White and the Seven Hunks"
Men would earn 70 cents for every dollar women make
Men would bring drinks, chips and dip to women watching soap operas
Men would have to get "Playboy" for the articles, because there would be no pictures
Men would learn and be required to use phrases like:
I'm sorry
I love you
You're beautiful
Of course you don't look fat in that outfit
Go to sleep-I'll take care of the baby
You go rest, I'll fix dinner
Men would be judged entirely by their looks, women by their accomplishments
Men would sit around and wonder what women are thinking
Men would pay as much attention to their women as their cars and sports teams
All toilet seats would be nailed down
Men would work on relationships as much as they work on their careers
TV news segments on sports would never run longer than one minute
All men would be forced to spend one month a year in a PMS simulator
Men would have their wedding rings permanently attached so they can't pretend to be single
During mid-life crisis, men would get hot-flashes and women would date 19 year old boys
After a baby is born, men would take a six-week paternity leave to wait on their wives hand and foot
For basic training, soldiers would have to take care of a two-year old for six weeks
A female employee would be noticed for her work performance, not her bra size
Singles bars would have metal detectors to weed out men hiding wedding rings in their pockets
A man would no longer be considered a "good catch" simply because he is breathing and has a good job
Medical research money would be spent on developing new birth control methods for men
