Christmas In Corralitos and the Mountains

So this was the very first Christmas as a single mom and without Mikey. Since Christmas Eve was on a Thursday this year, I had to work. A couple of people had mentioned that we might get off early but we were pretty busy so that never happened for me. Which was fine because I need the money anyway. And it was a good distraction. I was in a good mood all day but I knew I was going to be missing Mikey after I clocked out and had time to think about the fact that this was going to be my first cmas with out him.

I was doing okay until I got to my boyfriend's house. His family was wrapping up their cmas dinner celebration and it my heart broke. I was sitting in the living room putting on a smile but I was really so heart broken inside. I just wanted to be with Mikey that night and I couldn't. It was hard. I tried to call Mike a few time to I can atleast say goodnight and Merry Christmas. But he wasn't answering. I was growing super frustarted about that fact that if I call there should be no problem getting a hold of him. But there usually is.

Eventually I got to talk to him and it made me feel a little better. I was hoping that the fact it was Phil's and I's first cmas together I would not care so much about not having Mikey but it didn't. My heart was not there that night. It was with Mikey.

Well as the night progressed things got a little better and we woke up to a nice quite cmas morning. Phil and I made breakfast. Got to spend some nice cuddle time in the super soft blanket I got him. And around noon I took off to finally go pick up Mikey.

I picked up the boy and the Cmas Caos started. All the gifts and all the paper. Finding reciepts to return stuff and putting it all away. It has finally settled down. I have to say for my first cmas alone, Mikey and I didn't do half bad. I told him if he is better this year maybe Santa will bring more next year. We will see...


Funny Mikey quote: "Maybe it is a giant sandwich that i can eat forever." (Refering to a giant wrapped gift Santa had brought him, it was a bike by the way not a sandwich)
