And That’s….the Truth

Man I am going to be really happy when this Christmas season if finally behind us. I really hate this interruption to my day to day life. Right now I have two kids home on Christmas vacation and my husband is home on holidays this week as well. So what that means for me is that I’m not getting a whole lot accomplished around this house. This is why I will be glad when this all over. I can once again get my house back in order, catch up on some computer work and start enjoying some quite days to myself once again. Oh well, only a week and a half to go.

Last night my husband asked me what I really wanted for Christmas. And you know what?? For the life of me I really couldn’t think of anything. Yes, I have been checking online for new engagement rings but he informed me that he isn’t purchasing me more jewelry. So except for jewelry, there really isn’t anything that I want that I don’t already have. So I think for once my Christmas presents from him this year will really be a surprise to me. After all if I haven’t asked for anything, I couldn’t possibly guess what he will pick up.

So as you all know there is only four more days left until Christmas. And… I am happy to report that I am almost ready for the holiday season. I have a few more things to wrap, I need to find my bicone beads and finish a necklace and bracelet set for my father in law’s wife and need to deliver these presents to them as well. Other than that, I think I’m ready for the season. I do realize that I’ve probably forgotten something so will probably be wrapping or shopping on Christmas Eve, but for now I’m just living in my own little dream world that for once I’ll be finished with all this Christmas preparation before December 24th.

Every year I wonder why we as “people” go crazy this time of year! We spend about two months cleaning, cooking and shopping and this is done all for one day! And… every year the Christmas hussle and bussle seems to be getting earlier and earlier. So normally around this time of year I start to get a little tired of Christmas. Oh I know it’ going to come and I’ll be ready for it. But honestly after all this stress and work I really have to start wondering if it’s all worth it. Oh well, Christmas is supposed to be for the kids and since I still have two little people at home I’ll have to suck it up and get through it. But I do think that things are going to change around here when the kids are grown and out of the house.

Wow I can hardly believe how time flies! There’s only two weeks until Christmas and I’m still not ready! I have been busy these last few weeks trying to get ready for the holiday season but time seems to be slipping away from me. I still need to wrap a few items, find the abrasives my husband has been looking for, take my car in for inspection, get four new tires put on my husband’s vehicle and finish up his Christmas shopping. Oh… I know I still have a couple of weeks to get all this done. But honestly when I look at my list of things to do I really do have to wonder how I’m going to get it all done.

I swear to you all that I did successfully complete grade 6 but these days I really have to wonder how I did it. Late last week my youngest son brought home a social studies project and for the life of me I can’t figure out how to complete it. I swear it would be easier for him and me both just to take a course on Medical Liability Insurance instead of doing grade 6 homework. And now this project is due tomorrow and we still have no clue how to complete it. But it has to be done so I guess tonight when he comes home from school we will just have to sit here and try to figure it out until we get it done. I don’t remember grade 6 homework being this difficult way back when.

Man…. it’s days like today that I really wish I had some type of Physicians & Surgeons Jobs or a really good job where I make tons of money. My car broke down yesterday and I either have to fix it or replace it. Well I don’t have the money for that right now! With the Christmas shopping season firmly in place, most of my extra money has gone towards Christmas presents for the family. I had no idea that my car would break down and I would need the extra cash to get it fixed. Oh well, it is what it is and there’s really not a whole lot I can do about it. I have sent it to a mechanic to see how much it will cost to fix it and then I guess I’ll make my decision from there. I need a vehicle so I guess one way or another I’m going to have to find some money somewhere.
