Man, I am all over the place these days. I sit down to work and my brain pings from unfinished Christmas shopping to the school concert to that outfit I haven’t figured out yet to the ball game we’re going to this weekend. Then the family outing we’ve set up jumps in because how many cars are we taking and who’s parking where, plus the Christmas dinner just over a week away that I haven’t even begun planning yet.
Oh, and there’s the box of Christmas cards I haven’t started addressing yet. Hell, it’s been a few years since I’ve even managed to make Christmas cards so who knows if my addresses are even up to date. And I’m pretty sure we’re just gonna go with the plain old flag stamps I have lying around the house because the thought of fitting in a post office run makes my brain hurt.
The logic part of my noggin says slow and steady, just take it one step at a time, but the rest is doing some sort of mambo up there…it’s like my nervous system has adopted a soundtrack from the punk rock era and the rest of me is just trying to keep up. Which is why you’re getting a boop and a blip on a Friday.
Happy weekend, everybody!
I now let son plan stuff. It’s a whole different stress. When will he decide, will I have enough time to shop, what on earth is he going to choose.

Between the planning, preparation and anxiety about being out with people, I wonder why we do it. Oh, yeah, it’s usually a good time. Keep saying that.

I try to remember. Also, that I could vacuum for three hours straight and there’d STILL be pet hair in my house. Being realistic saves my sanity.

We have dog hair in places the dog never goes – yep, there’s no way around that.

I’ve always wondered why getting ready to relax and have fun is so stressful – it’s like preparing for a vacation. Something is wrong with that picture.

If you are doing it wrong, I must do it wrong too.
