Being an adult kind of sucks sometimes.
Indeed.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So apparently no one but me is in the office today, and I just saw my boss's departure memo to her boss, and shit is about to get REAL. She assigned me a shitload of stuff off her plate. Which is classic good news/bad news. I'm going to have to remember how to work hard again!

Yeah, it seriously does.

I feel like we've gone overboard on the kids -- they each got 7 presents and they were things I bought all year long. In Noah's case, there's also a used hockey stick, cut down and a long sleeve hockey shirt he'd asked for that we had last year that was misplaced and is now washed and rewrapped.
I have actually more gifts for them but I am choosing to put them back into the gift hiding spot until their birthday. The most extravagant gift is one from my mom to me (a color Nook!)
We just don't have the $$ this year.

Well, we are getting ready to head out for the 5 hours drive. Ugh. I have traveling. I really do. I want a transporter beam.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The # of gifts this year is pretty small for all of us, but mac is the only one we need to worry about on that front. I think we have the right balance, not so few that he gets mad, not so many that he gets overwhelmed.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm not sure UPS wants me to have the main present from my parents. If I get it at all, it will be Christmas eve.

I'm having getting started issues today.
I have to go to target for diapers and groceries. But I don't feel inspired. Granted, I have an hour before they open.

Also, the final gift for Noah is allegedly coming from Canada. I fear it will never arrive. I ordered it over 10 days ago! Canada is thwarting me!

The only present I bought for Kalee this year is a Little People farm, and I think I'll save it for February when we're stuck inside because of the cold/snow and she's bored.
Otherwise, I'm just letting her grandmother and aunts do all the shopping. I R LAZY MUTTER.
We just got back from getting the girl a flu booster and running into TJs for salads for tomorrow's airport adventure.
