It's a marathon, people, and we are in the final miles.
It looks like tonight will be the Christmas All-Nighter '09! Some year, I'd love to do it without an all-nighter. But I really can't see how.
I'm not a long-range planner. I always crammed the night before my exams. Wrote my papers in final draft just hours before they were due. And now I am cramming a whole lot of Christmas preparation into these last 30 hours.
I have presents to wrap. A photo album to make. And 6-year check up for my er... almost 7-year old. Christmas Eve. WHAT was I thinking when I made that appointment? Do I make him get flu shots on Christmas Eve? Because seriously, since I am 360 days late for his 6-year check up, what are the odds that I'm actually going to come back for flu shots? Then, I have a grocery store run to make. Appetizer to assemble. Kids to dress. Church to attend. Family function to celebrate. Tree to stuff presents under. Stockings to fill.
And then... and then...
Ahhhh.... a steaming hot pot of coffee to make up for the fact that I haven't slept in 2 days.
Hope you are all hanging in there.

I have reached the "if it isn't done, it isn't getting done" portion of the holiday. Maybe cookie-making today, mass tonight, then present wrapping and wine drinking after the kids are in bed.
Merry, Merry, my friend!
urgh why do we do this to ourselves? I did the exact same thing but am too tired to blog about it. Next year... I'm starting in July!
