(On the 6th day of Christmas…) PANIC sets in. Really. I can’t be alone in this, can I?! Christmas is just ONE week from today, and the time to get it together is NOW. I keep up with my family and friends on Facebook, and SO many of them are dreamily talking of baking, wrapping, watching Christmas movies, peacefully quilting. Really?? REALLY??
(This is no one I know, but see what I am sayin’?)
Not that I doubt my friends. I am just wondering how THEY got there, while I am still here. In a chaotic-looking house. Piles of laundry and stacks of mail and those darn-cute Christmas cards (from those pesky on-the-ball people!) piled on the kitchen counter.
(This is not MY house…but it’s how it feels to me right now.)
So… still presents to wrap, the Santa list to check once/twice/add to, groceries to buy (holy cow!! We gotta get some food in here!), Christmas cards to send (look for them in 2010…by December for sure!), and the list goes on. OH, and add to that… even though the hubby is done workin’ til after the New Year, and the kids are outta school…I still gotta business to take care of and bills to pay and book-keeping to do before Dec. 31st. Not to mention all the volunteer stuff that I do, that just gets bigger and more important at Christmas time. I know, I know—I’m WHININ’…
(Just like this kid.)
OK, now that I’m done whinin’…. let’s pick a winner from yesterday’s comments! Raquel in Clovis… it’s YOU! (And don’t even TELL me if you are totally completely ready for Christmas…) But we do need your address. Send it to LizzieBgirls@gmail.com.
I just need to go to bed, wake up with a fresh outlook. Sometimes I work well under pressure, sometimes not. And when THAT happens, I just go to bed. It always looks better in the mornin’!
And… tomorrow, reinforcements arrive. My mom and dad. Who always make it better.
A friend commented today that I am like the Energizer bunny. Yeah sometimes. But sometimes, ya gotta just recharge.
It’s time. Jammies…check. Alarm clock…off. Lights off…yep. Zzzzzzz…..
(YAWN…. don’t forget to comment to enter the drawing tomorrow. Tell us if YOU are ready, a whole week early. It’s OK. I can take it….)
