Bah humbug!
I have a feeling Christmas isnt supposed to be like this. I am tired and stressed and SPENT. Every year I hope for just a little more cheer and every year Im a little more disappointed in Christmas. This whole gifting thing is getting WAY out of hand but we're too far gone at this point *sigh*. I think Im going to suggest we do Secret Santa with J's family next year. I doubt it goes over well but it may be worth a try.
I still have 2 gifts to buy and 2 stocking stuffers. J is in charge of getting something for his dad and brother and we will finally be done.
We're leaving for Brooklyn Friday after work. which leaves me with 4 days to:
- finish gift shopping
- address and mail our holiday cards
- buy Mal a pack n play
- wrap the gifts
- see my hair dresser
- get a manicure
- pack a weeks worth of clothes for me and malcolm
- bake my holiday cookies
- bake a cheesecake for the casual holiday party at work
- drop off local gifts and cookies
It's partly my fault for getting off the a late start and never again will I pay so much in expedited shipping fees. *ugh*
I'll be spending the rest of the week tracking packages and praying everything arrives on time.
I know our office admin is tired of signing for Fedex and UPS stuff for me *lol* Im almost afraid to tell her theres twice as much coming tomorrow and wednesday.
Now I just need some help getting this crap to my car so I don't get jacked. Towson is a little hood these days. *lol*
On a brighter note: Mal's gift arrived today! I can't wait to see him on it after he opens it. At the very least I hope he has a wonderful holiday!
