Ready for it?

Are you ready for Christmas?

I'm not.

Far from it in fact!

I forgot about working full-time and how it digs into your time for getting ready for Christmas. As of 5pm yesterday, I had only two gifts purchased, no baking done, the house is a disaster, laundry up to my ears, oh, and Lucy was at the vet getting "the procedure"....

Thank goodness the malls extended their hours last night...and of course thanks for Wal-Mart being open 24hours. I got home at 1:30am this morning...shopped out!

I am also now officially on holidays!! WOO HOO. I don't go back to work until the 8th of January...and I am very much looking forward to the time off.

It's now 8:30pm, December 23. The shopping is done...but not a spec of wrapping; the baking is done...though not as much as in years past; the house is partially clean...thanks solely to the work of my husband; the laundry is still piled up to my ears!!!

Lucy is home now. Tired and sleeping A LOT, which for a Jack Russell is pretty rare...she is sore, but it didn't keep her from trying to chase after the cats.

This time tomorrow, our house will be full of family and friends...I can't wait!

To those I love, enjoy the peace of Christmas eve...and remember what it's truly about.

Love ya,

D:)
