Overall Christmas.

I hope everyone had a good and drama free Christmas!! Overall Christmas was pretty good at our house. 
 

So, I'll start with Christmas Eve. SS17 shocked me by calling me from work saying he was getting SO a gift which was $150 and asking if he would like it. He asked SS16 to spilt it with him and he said no so I told him I put in $50 for it. When I picked him up he said he wanted to get something for him because all the money SO spends and the stuff he puts SO through. I said well SS17 that's what it's about. Then he went into how BM couldn't find out because he didn't want to make her feel bad... *insert eye roll* but ok whatever. I told him to just to tell SS16 and SD not to say anything. 

I was disappointed in SS16. He didn't get SO anything. He has had his head up his butt ALOT lately. His gf is constantly breaking his balls over stuff but, to not get SO anything after I reminded him multiple times was very disappointing from him.  SO birthday is tomorrow so I'm going to tell him to get him something at work today. We will see. 
 

Christmas Eve was good. Dinner at SOs parents. (They live next door) Food was delicious. 
 

SO ended up getting yesterday off so that was good. We made breakfast, gifts etc. BM picked them at 11am. 
 

Now, I thought when she saw SOs car she would MAYBE keep them a few extra hours. She ended up keeping them an extra 30 minutes LOL. They were home at 2:15. 
 

We made a roast for dinner,  played a game of monopoly, overall good. SD and SS16 were saying how the finger foods BM had tasty like crap. Another LOL. SD also said later that night BM keep saying "how come your fatheerrrrr didn't tell me he was offff todayyyy." At this point it was 10pm and we were getting ready for bed and I was tired so, I just said.. why what difference would it make it wasn't changing anything.. SD just laughed and was like I don't know. SO said to me that he thinks she says stuff like that because she can't make convo with the skids. I said she just can't keep her mouth shut without making dumb comments. I said she needs to move on FOR REAL. 
 

BM thankfully didn't try any stunts during pick up or drop off.  Thought maybe she would try and see our dog again but it was pouring and I wouldn't have allowed it anyways. 
 

Also, (because I'm nosy) I looked at BMs Facebook and sure enough like clockwork, I made her cover story for the 4th year in a row with the pic I took of the skids! YAY ME!!! LOL. 
 

Unfortunately though, we are going to try and put our dog down today. She's really starting to suffer. She has barely eaten, she's so skinny, and it's just heartbreaking. It's going to be a tough day. I feel bad for SO being his bday tomorrow. The whole thing is awful. Poor girl has had a tough short 7 years. Trying to control my tears at work thinking about it. 

But, we are happy she made it too Christmas.. 

And, that's the Christmas story.

Sorry about your pooch. We put one of ours down this summer and I still miss her so much.

Thank you. It is one of the toughest thing ever to go through but, today is the day. We know she won't be in pain anymore.

Sorry for your loss. I've experienced losing my dog during the holidays last year and it was very difficult. Take time for yourself to grieve and work through it with SO. It's ok to be both sad for your loss and celebrate his birthday in a small way too.

Ive grieved the loss of a pet, too.  I wondered why I grieved so much. Somewhere I read that with humans, we have our ups and downs in our relationships.  But with a pet, its just pure love.
