I can't believe we are so close to Christmas! I'm really excited to see Davis open his (and everyone else's) presents this year. I think he will be so much fun to watch. I have been wrapping gifts a little each day and hope to be able to feel relaxed and not stressed to get it all done over the next few days. My mom and I made cookies and sausage balls to get us into the spirit, and we've all begun the process of pigging out over the holidays.
As I type this, Derek is installing a new hot water heater. (Why do we call it that? Sounds like something right out of the department of redundancy department to me...). As I was saying, Derek is installing a new water heater as ours decided to stop working yesterday. Davis was thrilled to skip his bath last night, but what he doesn't know is that mama's going to heat some water on the stove and dump it into the bathtub tonight. Derek still needs a couple of parts from Lowe's, so the thing won't be officially installed until tomorrow morning. It's so nice to have such a handy husband! As Derek was about to take the new water heater out of the box, I noticed that it weighed about the same as me (the weight was printed on the box). When I commented on this to Derek, his reply was, "Well it's too bad you can't stand out here and generate some hot water for the house." I told him I'd be happy to try and figure that out, but that he would have to hire one awesome nanny and one crappy maid to replace me. I think the water heater is cheaper.
Merry Christmas, y'all!
