I'm so bummed. I bought Zoe a red tricycle (the old school kind) and she now says she wants some multi-colored bike. I have absolutely no idea what she is talking about and I really don't want to go return the tricycle.
Oh well. Maybe she'll at least like the Dora underwear I bought her.

IT SHOULD NOT BE 75 DEGREES IN DECEMBER. I didn't even wear a coat today. That totally sucks. I know you all are freezing your asses off, but it's better than sweating in this humidity. December dammit.
---------------------
I was sick last Friday and I actually called in. For once I really did feel horrible. I ran a few errands Zoe-less and it was kind of nice. I rested and read this terrible document for work.
Sunday was a big day. I didn't babysit all weekend, and gosh, I find myself truly missing my "family" No matter how hard it is for me, it's so nice to see my sister and her husband and kids. They really do take care of me even though I'm supposed to be taking care of them. I think my family is the only reason I haven't had a horrible time splitting up with my husband. They are there for me.
back to Sunday...
Zoe and I broke out our Christmas decorations. My tree looks a bit like the Charlie Brown tree (it's a fake). It's only about 3 feet tall. We decorated it and hung up some lights from the windows. It looks all crappy, but Zoe thinks it's magical.
This is why, no matter how sorry I feel for myself, I just remember my Zoe and how it is my job to make Christmas special for her.

My dad dresses up as Santa for Christmas. Last year we saw him and Zoe totally knew it was him. "Christmas Paw Paw wears a red dress."
She asked me the other day if Paw Paw was going to be Santa again.
Dammit. She's only 3.
Ok, back to work. I'm here late again tonight because I'm too cheap to pay for the $9 parking. If you stay past 6:45 or so, you don't have to pay.
Is it Christmas yet? (asked to me like 150 times yesterday)
