Christmas panic... I need another 3- 4 days tops.

It started last night - I am walking home, briskly as the weather could also be described with the same work with a great number of four letter words to go along with "brisk"

I turn the corner and see my garage door going down... Bubba is home at 5PM.  The world has not ended but close -- he's home and I quote "I don't feel so good"  Insert the scene from A Christmas Story when Ralphie tells his parents "it was - soap poisoning"  OHHHH the horror!!!

I drugged him, sent him to bed.  He slept all night.  It was peaceful for me. I screwed up the icing for the caramel cookies - I will hear about it at Christmas.. ah well. 

So, cookies are done, they were boxed up and sent out Thursday - so that was good.  I have yet to wrap a gift, the cards were out early - I have been behind the Christmas ball since. 

Now we have Bubba at half speed, he did sound better this morning - but not moving too quickly.. Heaven help me

This morning was a an exercise in - oh-so--not-prepared!!  Had to get the dog to the sitter as she's staying with them this weekend.  We are headed to WVU to see the adopted nephew graduate.  He doesn't have a great deal of family -it's important that we are there.  It's been on our books since last December! I could use this weekend for 1000's of other things.. but I will be in West-By-God-Virginia.  Because family especially those you choose is important.

If there was a camera on me this morning the caption would have been "Holy Crap lady - disorganized much?"

I got the dog where she needed to go, with extra treats, for dogs and humans.  And then I got home, couldn't find my gloves, grabbed another pair (later found the first pair in my bag) walked outside, remembered I needed breakfast - went in got that, then realized my lunch containers were still in my bag from yesterday - back inside, 3rd time was the charm. 

Made it to work without much fuss - which is nice.

I have work to get done before I can get home, and I have to make swing to the library, and pick up my new SEI shirt!  Merry Christmas to me!


So, I am off to get things done, work and personal and the 6000 other things that must be done before 24th.. the 25th and then it's nothing - nada - a whole lotta nuttin' until 1/2.

Sounds nice doesn't it?
