and still....no refund.
Ok, thats outa the way...on with the other stuff.
We had a lovely dinner last night with the family- but I didnt feel right allowing the uncle to foot the bill...so I paid for our half of the dinner (dh, me, dd2, dd3 and dd3's friend), and my dad paid for he and my mom. I know the uncles portion was still very expensive...so I felt much better picking up our end of the tables tab. But talk about a great time!! wow.
Today, I continue with the housework and the wrapping and the party preparations, etc.
I now remember why the week after Christmas I feel as though Ive been through the wringer!!! I will knock on some wood that at least no one is sick!!!
The budget is hanging in there...although I still have Christmas eve dinner to pay for (again, we all go out to pizza for DD3's birthday celebration)~ Usually rus about $150-ish and Christmas dinner ~ which I plan to prepare as frugally as possible.
and then....to relax. Thanks to all the gift cards this year, I will still have plenty of wrapping paper for next year...and I have all the decorations I need...and so there isnt much reason to hit (too many) of those after-Christmas sales this year.
Next week- a strong focus on goals and budget for 2007....until then, however, it's a Christmas frenzy!!! 
If Im DONE, why do I feel so BUSY still?
