Wow! Its been some time since I posted. The days are flying by and the end of the year is near.
I am looking forward to the time off and the chance to relax and maybe finish the book I've been reading for almost 2 freakin' months.
I would like to wish you all a very merry christmas and a super happy new year. All the best to you and your family in 2011.
Take Care, Don't Drink & Drive, Stay Alive!

Good with the Bad
Call me a terrible person, why not, others have but I have one item on my list that really makes me go hmmmmm....
School, as a kid my parents may have darkend the school corridor a few times, no more than 5 times max!
Nowadays the parents are constantly at the school, dropping off, picking up, helping out, fundraising, you name it the parents are always there for one reason or another. Those of us who aren't at the school as much still find ourselves there enough times throughout the school year.
During those times we are interacting with the other mom's & dads of the children from our childs classroom or grade.
Now I have to say I've met some pretty cool mom's & dad's and I've been some humdingers! Oh you heard me humdingers is the best phrase I can come up with, I could call them twitheads but that just doesn't have the same affect. I find those are the ones who most of all try to talk me more, all the while I am conversing with another mom who is way more fun.
Please! Stop, your kid isn't very nice, no they aren't that good of friends from what my kid says, leave me alone! Sure a playdate, anytime, just call me, we are usually busy but I'll do my best....NOT!
Why is it nowadays when our kids go to school so do we?

Ta-Not
Oh the thought of sitting and wrapping gift after gift.....the daunting task that is fallen onto the woman of the house. Spare me please!
I hated the gift buying this year. People are becoming more and more difficult to buy for?
Plus the number of people who are still buying items for themselves!!!! WTF? Stop it!
My mother told me on the weekend that she bought herself and beautiful pair of red pajama's and can't seem to find matching red slippers, I said "well I hope you don't" and she got all offended because she wasn't quick enough to realize I bought her pretty silk candy striped PJ's with fluffly, pretty red slippers!!!!!! Duh people!
Can you say annoying?
I am the kind of gift giver who wants the show stoppers, I want to buy something for you that will make you say "oh my" and talk about for days.......that isn't happening this year. My MoJo completely failed me this season. Although I did not buy anyone junk or crap I just don't have that little kid/elf like feeling I usually get when I buy gifts for people, I am that person in the aisle with a big grin on my face thinking "oh this person is gonna LOVE what I bought them".....nope totally not this year. I don't have that loving feeling anymore :(
Maybe I need to put the tree up, although that isn't slated until next weekend? Who the hell has time anyway?
Our first party is on Friday night, maybe that is what I need to feel the Christmas Cheer.
Although I'm still not wrapping all those gifts by myself!!! I refuse.
My DD was a little upset last night when I said here wrap these gifts (for friends), gave her the paper, tape & tags and said 'have at r'......she cut the paper too short, couldn't hold it and tape at the same time and she cried and flipped and flopped around and realized "whoa mom is not having any of this", I just kept reading my book! She figured it out. Eventually :)
