Wheeeeeee!
Oh, I just LOVE the holidays – don’t you just LOVE the holidays? The food, the decorations, the parties, the presents, the togetherness.
The stress.
I am up to my eyeballs in so many things right now, it’s not even funny. Well, okay, yes – it’s funny, given the right frame of mind, but I’m sorry to report I don’t have the right frame of mind because I do believe I lost it several days ago. (And yes, there’s the contingent that would claim I lost it a long time ago, but we’ll just ignore them for the time being if that’s all right with y’all. Or even if it isn’t.)
Anyhoo, I have more to do than I care to deal with, including our company holiday party tomorrow night to prepare for, getting ready to leave for Kalamazoo on Sunday, running The Young One to Cleveland so he can visit his paterfamilias for the holiday, and corporate sales taxes for about 30 states, so I’m excusing myself from blogging with any coherency whatsoever today.
Yes, it is too different from every other day. 
Have a lovely weekend, y’all.
My stress will be LESS by Monday. I think. I hope. If nothing else, it will be over next Friday – right? Have an extra cocktail tonight on me! : )

Hang in there. It will all be over soon. And try to enjoy yourself somewhere in the chaos. xo

Oh, I know how you feel. I leave Sunday for Atlanta and even though I want to be with my daughter and grandchildren, I dread that drive! And we’re expecting snow tomorrow, joy, joy!!

Good luck getting all your stuff done. I’m stressing about everything too and having teenage girls isn’t helping AT ALL!
Have a great Friday!
Those are the kinds of days I kept a bottle of Scotch in my cupboards for. I only used it once, but just knowing it was there helped. And this was in a corporate office:).

Take a deep, cleansing breath and then have a cocktail. I’m sure you’ll pull out your superpowers and get ‘er done. Have a great weekend, Jan.
Smart Mouth Broad´s last blog ..FOOD WITH A ‘TUDE
Yeah, deep breaths and a small cocktail.
It’ll all turn out great.
Ihope you enjoy the party!

I need A LOT of cocktails. I have done nothing but cry since Thanksgiving. I so hate sounding like a scrooge but I just feel so blue. We had our big family Christmas party at my parents home on the 13th. It was very obvious that my mothers memory is fading fast. It didn’t feel the same and I’m pretty sure it never will again.
My luck isn’t any better. I got kicked to the curb by someone I thought was my friend… and my heart is aching. My husbands car broke yesterday so he took mine today and blew a tire. The day began with the death of one of my birds…totally my fault so I cried for two solid hours.
I think I’ll just go eat a worm.

Ahh, you didn’t lose your mind, you lost your frame of mind…big difference, my dear
Although I was beginning to wonder…

I don’t mind the incoherency! I actually completely understand it! Mwah!
Sprite’s Keeper´s last blog ..Spin Cycle: Results May Vary
I bet you throw the best party ; -) Hope you slow down a bit and enjoy it yourself, but I think you will.
Pseudo´s last blog ..Ghosts of Christmas Past
Oh goodness, it sounds like you need to put your feet up, take some deep breathes and sip on a drink or two…but I suppose that is out of the question for today since your throwing a big shindig tonight…lol. I am sure it will be just lovely and lots of fun. Since you can’t put your feet up, at least sip on something delicious while you running with your head cut off today!
XX Enjoy! Lori

Inhale deeply…1…2…3…now exhale slowly…1…2…3…4. That didn’t help at all, did it?

Hope you got all the taxes done and had a safe trip to Kalamazoo and Cleveland! Now I’m tired…
