22 days until Christmas and as usual I am in way over my head! Why Oh Why do I come up with these projects that I want to do for people?? I swear every year that I will not do it next year and then like a lemming heading to a cliff I do the same dang thing!!!
Of course I can't tell you what my projects are, because occasionally my children supposedly drop in and read this. You wouldn't know it, because they never leave a comment, but they do let info slip from time to time that they actually do pay attention. Lets just say I have 3 major projects going, 3 semi-major projects, then all the piddly things that need to be done. Oh, I forgot I always do something with Xavier to give to everyone. This year we will have to have Brock set in on that one, and don't ask. I don't have a frigging idea what that will be! Good thing I have piles of reference books on crafts, kids goodies, and anything creative! I will have to chat about that on another day!
Now, I have been able to sleep at night. When I do wake up and make the night hike to the potty room and crawl back in bed I have managed to fall back asleep. When I start thinking about the pile of stuff I still need to do, I just clear my mind, and tell myself it will all get done, it has always (most of the time) gotten done. We will see if my sister reads this because she is the one person I have failed to finish things for over the years!! But I have made up for it in recent years! Sorry Sis!!
Now all this moaning in the previous paragraphs, doesn't even count the Christmas decorating things, making my house presentable, or the best thing, having Todd & Erin visit! So I will be working on things at 70mph in the van as we travel for work, watching Christmas movies so I will set in one place and dedicate that time to working on the project that has a cut off on December 10th!! That is so I can start an even bigger project and have any hope of finishing it by Christmas.
So I pledge to cut this stuff back next year! Yahhhhh Right!!! Ok, so the Mayan Calendar is looking better all the time. But why would they be so rude as to end the world the day before my Birthday??? Nah, I am screwed yet again, and all my fault!! Merry Frigging Christmas!!!

I have an idea - ask Xavier to come up with ideas for a gift for Santa and then between the two of you, pick one. Am I brilliant or what?
ReplyDeleteI was saying "merry friggin'" a lot this last hour or so putting up the damn friggin' tree.
We decided yesterday that we'd only put the tree up and nothing else because no one but us will be here this year. Now I wish we'd decided to leave the thing in the basement after all. What a pain.
