I miss you most at Christmas Time
So, Christmas is 2 days away (well 2 1/2 I guess), and I'm not even remotely excited. All of my regular traditions are fucked this year and so far I've had to do everything (and I do mean EVERYthing) to prepare for it by myself. If I never clean my house again I'll be happy. I feel like I've been cleaning for weeks and it's still not done. I wanted to make cookies for work and I think I've just run out of time. Tomorrow night I'm having my loves over to exchange Christmas presents, but I have work before then so I can't do it before they come over and I gotta be in work at 8 on Wednesday so I can't really do it that morning. I'd do it now, but of course I don't have the mix...that would just be too easy. I'm not even done Christmas shopping yet. Ugh. I'm not even looking forward to it. It doesn't even feel like Christmas and the whole day is going to be so rushed that I feel like I'm not even going to be able to enjoy it. We're not having Christmas morning at my house this year (which I'm completely devastated about) and that just ruins things for me. What was the point of even putting up the tree if there's not gonna be any presents under it? And our stockings are HERE! So not only will I not have a stocking to open, I have to get up early to drive the 45 minutes to my mom's house, and lug our presents for them up there, then we'll have to rush outta there (with a car full of presents), drive 45 minutes back to my dad's (in a neighborhood I don't really wanna have a car full of gifts in) and do Christmas there. Then Al has to be in work at 4:00 and we leave for my uncle's house at like 7. Talk about a rushed, cramped day. Ugh. I'm so not looking forward to it. Then, I wanna go to the Field House on Saturday to see Mr. Greengenes and I don't know if that's gonna happen either...and let's not even talk about New Year's Eve. Bleh. All right, I think that's enough of my ramblings. I'll ttyl. With love and Christmas chaos, Shannon
