OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!
*everybody, panic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Whoa, Faery, rein it in!
Breathe-- Innnn--oooooooooooout, innnnnn, oooooout...
Ok. Better. For now.
I have never, ever been this far behind in holiday prep before, even when Cait was only a few months old, Scott was 2 and I had postpartum depression (looking back- most likely triggered by my diagnosed Lyme). I do remember that I was making hand print wreaths for the G-parents and was sobbing at the table while cutting out a gazillion little hands from green paper. Good times... good times...
I worked my a** off yesterday and still am totally behind. I have to figure where to cut my losses. And then CUT them. That is the hard part.
I left my house at 8.30am was out food shopping/bank/errands until 11. Wrapped gifts until 1.30, had to pick Cait up from school. wrapped until 4, started cooking broccoli soup for dinner. While that was simmering, I was desperately trying to find where I saved a download link for an album that I got Scott. I knew I "put" it somewhere, I just had no idea where that was. I was so tired and in pain that I was in tears. I had checked all of my bookmarks (hooo boy that need a clean out!), docs etc. But finally I found it and will print that out to wrap today. At least it wasn't as bad as last year when I lost a huge black light poster that he had asked for. I must have thrown it out by mistake cuz it never did show up.
In my fam, Christmas Eve is just as big, if not more, than Christmas Day, and since I was a kid were encouraged to rest (we took "naps" with flashlights and books under the covers LOL) and I know that I am going to need to do that tomorrow. Which means, my list for this morning is gi-normous. I am still waiting for at least three gifts including the one for my BFF that was supposed to be here yesterday :Cry:
I have to make baskets for my mom and Cait, wrap some more and start getting the cookie trays ready to go. All before 1pm so I can get chained to the Forever IV. I would love to skip it this week, but my BP/tremors/heart palpitations are bad- I think that stress might have *something* to do with it, perhaps? :madgrin:
