I am glad the day is over.  I ended up cooking dinner for my parents.  Afterwards I went to my best friends house and had a good time with him and his family.  I got home and called my kids.  I asked my son how his christmas was and he said ok.  "ok" That is coming from a boy who usually says things like "awesome,"  "fantastic," and so forth.  My daughter was not home, staying with the x's mother.  I am off from teaching, but I will spend my time at the dealership selling more cars and raising more money for my war chest.  I get to see my kids for two hours tomorrow night....kind of a tease.  I then get to see them for 2 hours on new years day......kind of a tease.  After that, I dont know when I will see them next.  To bad I am not an alcholic, I would have plenty to do without them around me.....
