wrapping

So I am proud of myself. I managed to wrap all of my Christmas presents, plus a couple of the extra ones that got hidden in my room by other family members lol. I only have a few more and then they’ll out be out of here but I think I’m done for the evening. Mom is putting ornaments on the tree. I’m really tired of decorating so I am pretty much refusing to help. Sorry, not being grinchy just tired of fussing with that darn tree and we go through it every year. She wants me to drag down every box of ornaments we have (we’re talking about a dozen large rubbermaid totes) and all the decoration boxes (another half dozen totes) and I just refuse. Ugh. That’s a lot of work and none of them are any help so it’s pretty much just me doing it. No thanks.

Isaac is good. I’m still so amazed sometimes that I have the attention of a guy like him. He’s so sweet and giving and it just breaks my heart to see the scars he bears. I don’t see those scars very often but when I do I can see just how deep they are and how plentiful and just how much they hurt. When he looks at me and asks "Why are you so nice to me?" it makes me want to cry. When he thanks me for buying him a freaking Matchbox car that he likes on one of our midnight Walmart trips, it makes me hurt that he is so touched by me spending a buck on him that he feels it necessary to thank me with huge displays of affection, EVERY TIME!!! Like he’s surprised each time I buy his drink when we go to Wawa or with the Matchbox cars or anything that’s so simple and ridiculously silly that most people would just say "thanks I’ll get you next time k?" and leave it at that and sometimes just completely forget about it later. But he always remembers and he always thanks me with a hug and a kiss and Thank you baby. It’s insane, 3 months later! He almost never complains. I’ve finally seen him pissed and it actually scared me because I’ve never seen him so angry before. It must have shown because he looked at me and said "Don’t be afraid, I’m not going to hurt you or anything."

The puppies are adorable. It’s like someone took cotton balls and put them on legs!!! But they’ve definitely stolen my heart. I actually look forward to puppy breath and kisses. I have pictures but they all kind of suck lol. These guys don’t sit still long enough for me to take really good pictures of them.
