We are all super busy this time of the year but this year I'm so far behind for Christmas that it is causing me to loose sleep at night literally. Usually I'm ready for Christmas no later than October but this year I've not gotten anything yet!!! I'm gonna have to say it's working full time that has prevented me from accomplishing all that I normally do. Of course all my kids want are things like: the Wii, Nintendo DS's, IPod's, Cell phones, Game Boys, Guitar's with amps and a hot pink & purple type writter! What ever happened to a foot ball, skateboard, roller blades or a baby doll??? :o)
Last week I worked almost 50 hours! It's hard to come home pick up the house, cook dinner, help with any homework, get kids in the shower, manage the finances, do the grocery shopping and all of that stuff. Saturdays are my cleaning, laundry and shopping days but since Will started sitting the Liberty Model homes I help go do BPO's for him on Saturdays so I've not had any time to go Christmas shopping.
This week I've had two 3.5 hour dentist visits to squeeze into work and I was supposed to go on a field trip to Shamrock Farms with Calvin's 1st grade class tomorrow but it got cancelled due to rain and the farm being too muddy for us to walk around. Shamrock Farms is only 20-25 minutes from us and there are many other huge dairy farms around hence the lovely odor here. :o) Friday I have a payroll training class to go to in Glendale which is about 1 - 1.5 hours from here from 8am til 5pm so that will be a long day then Friday evening we have a family Christmas party in East East Mesa again about 1 - 1.5 hours from here one way. I might have to work Saturday because payroll needs to be done no later than Monday at 8am due to Christmas and not having the Governing Board available to sign our voucher so when will I get to shop on Christmas EVE?????
See why I can't sleep??? :o)

Yikes...Sister! Wish I could go shopping for you. I've got plenty of time these days. ;o( I wish I didnt'. Geez,I knew you must be busy. You haven't posted in 11 days. Good grief. I haven't either. lol! Good luck getting it done. I actually haven't gotten much for the girls yet either. I'm thinking tomorrow is the day.
Love ya,

I can SO relate to your life! Mine is just about the same. I work 7 hours/day and then do bookkeeping at home so I am sometimes working till 9 pm and Saturdays too. Plus we live 20 minutes out of town and 2 teenagers... It really stinks, huh? Brian and the kids had to decorate the tree (& the house) without me :( this year. I hope you get to breathe soon! Hang in there!
I did a lot of my shopping on-line! LOVE IT! This is the first week that I haven't had much to do and I still can't catch up! Really, I just don't want to do anything....
