had a nice christmas, even though it seems as though everyone is sick with a head cold or some such illness...stayed at mommy's xmas eve - we cooked a big-ass ham...pooky came over xmas morning and we opened presents - lots of goodies! i did good picking out mom's clothes, i wasn't sure they'd fit, but they did...in the afternoon pooky and i went to my place, since that's where dad was bringing the kids...the phucker was actually EARLY - showed up at 1:45 instead of 2...coulda been cuz he had a woman with him...can't remember her name, something hard to pronounce...dad says they went to school or something together and have been talking on the internet...god only knows what he's been telling her...*shrug*...it was good to see matt & paige again...since they were s'posed to be there at 2, i hadn't made any plans for lunch or anything - well the kids come in talking about how they're _starving_ and how everything was closed...luckily i had stuff to make a pot of spaghetti, so we had some food...paige is a little whiny butt, and readily admits that she's spoiled...so she begged me to do shrinky-dinks and i said yes - my pillsbury doughboy turned out rather well. *8-) her designs turned out good as well, she seems to have a knack for it (could be why she was begging me to do "something artistic")...matt made a Mr. Hankey, the xmas poo from south park...

all in all, a good xmas...until i had a seizure late xmas night - argh! i'm thinking i'm gonna have to cancel my video eeg cuz i don't have $300 just sitting around to pay the deductible next year...man, they really FUCKED us on the health insurance, that's all i can say...
