December 24th, Christmas eve is here. This year has been nothing but weird. With Jace and Jaron both working full time we didn't have thanksgiving dinner until Saturday and Christmas appears to be the same issue. Because Jace and Jaron both work on Tuesday we opened presents on Sunday. It was a spur of the moment decision but worked well as that was the last day of the week that both boys were home from work. Or it would have worked well if Jaron hadn't been called into work for a few hours at 7:00 a.m. that morning. I am glad we did the presents when we were all together but it still made things feel weird..... different.... drawn out.... anti-climactic.
Today Jace works a 7 to 7 shift. He was called in after an emergency took his scheduled employee to a different post for the day. He works the same tomorrow while Jaron works 5am to 2pm. Jay and I will relax, watch the parades, do puzzles, and just enjoy each others company. hee hee hee. Revenge for all the years the kids got to enjoy the holidays...
One reason Jay and I have to keep reminding ourselves it is christmas is Jay leaves for Hawaii on Friday. We are excited but their is so much to do. Jay will start work on Monday while I finish up sell, sorting, and moving all our stuff to the new location. We have a rented apartment on Waikiki beach but it will not fit everything we own. Good thing we are leaving a lot of it here for the boys. I will join him in a few months. Leaving the boys here is the worse part but watching Jay pack up isn't easy either. I can't wait to be past this part completely.
