No, no. You don't get it at all. I mean Jingle Bells! You know, Santa Claus and Ho Ho Ho and mistletoe and presents for pretty girls

I have nothing to add to my nearly eight months of silence but this...Christmas time, Christmas time, Christmas time is here. This is a little song my children are singing now. I'm not sure where its from, but they have it down. But I repeat their words here because is it not the best time ever? We are in an RV in Phoenix (think van down by the river) so I am unable to decorate yet, but I am counting the days until I am home with my tree and trimmings and what not. I have nothing positive to say about this trip to Phoenix as of yet because it is just cold enough here to make things not fun, and Jason has been working his tail off and is too tired to do anything when he gets home but sleep. And I don't have anything to drive because I am not registered to drive the RV because I couldn't provide my driver's license when he was renting it because my children misplaced it and I haven't replaced it because I am still holding out that it will turn up under something or tucked into some forgotten treasure chest. So we are relegated to spending our time with what the KOA has to offer, which isn't much but really grumpy snowbirds who left their grandchildren far away from this place and have little kindness left for some lady in a Cruise America RV (think white trash of the ritzy motor home world) and ten kids to boot. I added a few extra because to be honest when you see us with all our trappings and hear our noise it seems like there must be more. And Ava counts for three at least.

But next week holds lots of promise since his parents joined us in the next RV site over and will be around until Tuesday at least, which is an unexpected surprise because when they invited themselves to join us in Phoenix it was only for two days. They are really good about taking the children away from me and coming back hours later, which is fine with me. Like I said, lots of promise. And also like I said, counting the days until I am home again and focused on Christmas and its wonderfulness and such.
