No, this is not going to be a RACEY post.
There's no time for RACEY in my life right now.
I am trying so hard NOT to let the holiday bustle get to me.
I am trying so hard and failing miserably today.
I am completely overwhelmed by the holidays and the long list of things that supposedly need to be done before Dec 25th. I know that a lot of this is by my own making, by what I think HAS to be done by then. I know that I should let go of all the things that I think need to be done and instead focus on the reason for the season.
Yet, today, I cannot. I am focusing on that damn long list of "stuff" and the list just seems to be getting longer, minute by minute, day by day. Oh lookie, this seems to be a recurring theme year after year (double look, I used to never get comments on my posts- finally people actually read my drivel, ha ha).
When am I ever going to learn to "slow my roll down"?!
I need a STIFF drink. Anyone else want one, too?
That is all.

OMG! I do! Every night this week I have had some kind of cocktail or shot (just one) so I can just chill. I totally could have written this post. Except, now I have cut a few things off my list so the stress doesn't kill me. One thing I haven't cut is spending more time with the kids. I am now off to make mix sugar cookies and open a can of frosting so we can decorate them (a stiff drink might be included somewhere in there too!) Hang in there Lisa!
I am the same way right now. I haven't even started shopping for my family yet. I just can't get it in gear this year. And then this week we got all this snow and it is 8! 8! out!!! I am not taking two kids out to shop during the day when it is 8!
I'd love to have a drink with you! I think it is just the nature of the beast (we women) that we make these unrealistic lists and goals when we should just be enjoying the season. If you ever figure it all out, pass it along.
Pour me a double. If I am going to drown in a to-do list, then it better be drinking something tasty.
Ugh. I would love to have a drink. But, I'm pregnant. So, pour an extra one for you, and drink it in my honor, mmmkay?
I sort of had a nervous breakdown tonight about it.
It's just all too much. So much going on at work. Respiratory distress (literally). A funeral across the country. The holidays. 60-70 hour workweeks. The kids. The events. The presents (so. not. done.)The baking. The cards.
I cried tonight. The ugly cry.
i had one of those days today too. although i was totally intrigued when i saw the name of your post! lol
overwhelmed over here too while the sick kids keep me stranded at home. (yes i do feel bad that they're sick but i wish for everyone's sake it'd hurry the hell up already!) the end.
Hang in there girl, I'm thinking of you!
And, try to focus on what the season is REALLY about. I'm trying my best to do it myself this year...
You can't be wonderwoman, even if at times you come close to pulling it off. Just check one thing off the list at a time....just be sure to enjoy the time with your family while doing it. Don't let it overshadow the real meaning of Christmas.
Which includes eating and relaxing! Just kidding!
I wish I felt good enough to have a stiff drink with you.
Sorry you guys were sick all at the same time (I know that wasn't in this post, but referring to your comment).
I too am totally freaking out about Christmas stuff, and moving at the same time. Ugh, panic attack!
