U spin me round n' round

I feel like I am on a merry go round, it is a few days before Christmas, the gifts are wrapped the cards have been handed out, I have a few more gifts to deliver and wrap, some people to visit and I feel like I have done nothing!

How is that so? I have been very busy but I feel I have not accomplished a darn thing. I have my turkey, potatoes, stuffing bread, cranberry sauce, gifts, eggs, the tree is up the house is trimmed but I have this nagging feeling I didn't do everything, that I am missing something?

I am that hampster on the wheel running, running, running......what the heck could it mean?

I am excited for Christmas but I am not, does that make sense? I cannot wait for the day to come.

I look forward to the party invites we have, there will be some people I haven't seen in quite some time - that will be fun.

I have purchased meaningful gifts for everyone this year, items they will appreciate and enjoy!

But I still have this feeling of something is missing.........

Murphy did it again....

I am sick! What a perfect way to start the Christmas season!

Damn it I have been so good, and here I sit with a full head, I really want to go to sleep but people will not leave me alone.

Why is it the very moment I am about to have a quiet moment by myself somebody has to bother me? Dang!

I sure hope I can kick this little cold in the ass, I'm not going to sit and take this!

sniff, sniff......I really just want my bed....thats all :(

Pinned

I forgot to blog about this last week until a fellow blogger posted a similar situation.

Picture it! Domino's Pizza - waiting for my order.

This woman comes rushing in and her pizza was wrong so they go to make a new one for her, she sits down beside me and instantly starts talking to me, now typically a person says hi but not this broad........

Her: Do you go to church?

me: p-p-p pardon me?

Her: Do you go to church

Me: um not as much as I should ma'am......

Her: What church do you go to?

(now it was at this point I was thinking...hmmmm do I tell her the round church so the devil doesn't corner me {my dads fav phrase} or the truth)

I opted for the truth.

Me: I go to church in Stanley

Her: oh you have Father Aaron don't you, he is so great! Do you realize he is as close to god as your going to get?

Me: oh is that right, yes he is very nice.

Her: Just the other day after mass I had a problem that was upsetting me very much and I asked him and do you know what, he had the answer for me, he was my divine intervention. He is as close to god as your going get.

Me: oh yes is that right

{at this point I was looking the other way, I'm sure you can picture my uncomfortableness}

Her: You are very lucky to have him you know? Are you ladies treating him right up there?

{now at this very point it crossed my mind to have some fun like say "yeah we all give him regular blow jobs lady" but I didn't)

Me: Oh yes we have a CWL league and they make sure he is "taken care of"

Her: oh goody.

Domino's Guy: Ma'am your pizza is ready!

Her: We'll hun I'd better go, god bless you dear.

me: um yeah you too!

I walked out the car dumb-founded! My jaw slack! I couldn't believe the convo I had just had.

Are you serious? What the hell?

Yep I guess I have the "talk to me face" - Lucky F'in Me!

I am sure your all laughing your guts out right about now!!!! Frig off! Not funny! That was not cool.........

ahhhhh thats better

I feel so much better right now! Much better than I have felt for the last 2 weeks.

I have a large majority of my presents wrapped, my Christmas cards are mailed for the most part, my tree is up and beautifully trimmed, the house is trimmed up, the gifts are purchased for the most part and my truffles are ready to be rolled.

Wow!

I feel like a million bucks right now.....what a fantastic feeling, the overwhelmed feeling is gone.

Now I just have to pay the bills, which may be the next problem....LOL :o) Wish me luck!

Is it You or Is it Me?

Merry December-mas Everyone! grumble, grumble

On Monday I put out the cute little wooden advent calendar I have for my darling daughter. She looks forward to this treat every single year.

I had to tape some of the 2x2x2 drawers shut as the little treats were not small enough to fit in, her feet have grown and the fuzzy socks have gotten bigger - go figure?

There were a few treats (as last year) that are too large to fit so I send her on a treasure hunt for them with a note stating "for your present please go to the TV stand drawer" or junk drawer......etc....

On Tuesday night before bed I caught her in opening the drawers of the TV stand, just one. She NEVER opens those drawers and we have (or I have) strategically placed Christmas statues in front of them......I said "get out of there and you would have thought she had seen a ghost"....hmmmmmmm something smells very bad?

So last night we are hanging out on the couch and she says "do you think the drawer behind the reindeer is door #1 or is drawer #1 by the Karaoke machine mom?".

I look up and say "what did you just say" she freaks out and bury's her head in the couch.

Now last year I only had one gift hidden in there and it was the middle drawer. This year I was going to put gifts in all 3 drawers and numbered them #1, #2, #3.....first year for this.

I said to her "be honest with me, tell me the truth", she yelled and said she has nothing to say? I say "you look pretty guilty", she says "MOM! What are you talking about?" She was all to fishy for my liking......

DH thinks I am wrong.

I also want to mention when we were putting dish cloths away on Sunday she opened up the junk drawer and stared into it...I said "what are you doing?" She says "nothing" , I said why do you have that drawer open the cloths do not go there"...she said "oh I forgot".....................

Did she open the other doors of the advent calendar? I have a plant in front of it to make sure none of the "pop" open??????? Did someone have too much time on her hands?

So I switched the notes and put the gifts in different spots. I'll get her ! Ha!

What the kid made me very thankful for is my lack of caring this year and I hadn't even had a chance to put the 4 gifts in the drawers! Ha! Got ya again!!!!!!

SNOOPER or NOT?
