Sixth Day Poll

At the risk of sounding terribly Scrooge-y,

Are you over Christmas already, even though it isn't even here yet?

Absolutely. And because my family is arriving in batches, I will have Christmas 3 times over the next 12 days.

I am weary of bad Christmas music, which seems to be everywhere--and by "bad,", I mean things like Jingle Bell Rock and Felic Navidad by Jose Feliciano--that kind of stuff.

But I'm not over Christmas yet. I will see my sisters next week for a couple of days, the only time we see each other, and after that I can be over it.

Yes and No. I'm tired of all the commercials for toys and jewelry; not being able to find parking at the malls; and my one neighbor who literally threw her holiday decorations out in to her yard, plugged them in and called it a day. But, I always love Christmas morning with the family.

Well, I'm not over it because I have not had a single minute until now to even think about it. Now I have 4 days to decorate, cook, buy presents... I would be over it, however, if I paid any attention to the Christmas bombardment by stores, TV commercials, etc.

Why is this Christmas so awful? I hate to say it, but it just is. And that's almost everyone's take on it, too. It's wearying, this Christmas. I cannot wait to get past it, and I'm not usually like this.

I just want it, all of it, to go away.

Not even close! I had to work up until today, but at quitting time, it will be 2 weeks off for me, and going to visit family for the holiday. :) Then back home in time for my birthday and some New Years fun, and some days going on day trips to Monterey and so on. What's not to love about that? I'm totally ready for some fun Christmas magic!

Nope! I'm still in Advent awaiting Christmas.

Bah Humbug.

I hate Christmas this year. And I hate the courier company that I paid a small fortune to deliver my sons Christmas present and they didn't.

I just want it all to be over. And to smash someones head into the pavement for wrecking my Christmas...... *sob*

I think sometimes we all get so carried away with the preparations that we don't really enjoy the holidays. But to me the best part of Christmas is the time spent with family and the food. I am looking forward to the many Christmas get togethers we have and to all the wonderful dishes we'll have.

I'm trying to be better about it. I just think it's a huge stressful crapfest. I'm trying to be more festive this year though. I can't wait for it to be over, take down my tree, and get my life and house back in order!!!

I thought that going away on a Christmas holiday would be a breeze, instead we have had mini Christmases every weekend since Nov 24th... yeah, I'm over Christmas.
It was - 25C overnight in F that's damn cold!!! Getting up at 2am to
head your way tonight, my body is craving sunlight.
I'll call.

No way! Not even close! I'm sitting here watching the snow swirl around my house, still smelling the chocolate from the toffee and peanut butter balls I just made...wishing that time would slow down so Christmas wouldn't be over so quickly. =)

It is now 3 p.m. Since 9 a.m., I have only been wrapping presents, with time off to vacuum my room, the living room, the kitchen and the dining room. But you know? I'm not over Christmas at all. Just another 30 minutes of wrapping. Then I'm ready for Christmas to start! Sick mofo I am.

No, but that's because I haven't had any time to think about Christmas. It's going to be great this year!

I've felt guilty all month...but I really hate the obligations that Christmas brings. The decorations, the social events, the gifts, etc. I was feeling more scroogy than I am now, perhaps because I am done shopping, done with my Christmas letters, and just DONE in general. Now, I'm relaxing at my sisters in another state (missouri where it is FREEZING!!!) and nothing to do but books to read, dvds to watch, and blogs to catch up reading...so I'm pretty much enjoying the Christmas season now. And hey, maybe Santa will bring me some camera accessories I want. In the true spirit of Christmas though, I am so thankful for everything God has blessed me with - family, friends and health. Life is good :)

Merry Christmas my friend.

Oh my gosh, I just noticed my last post made no sense. I meant it is nice of you to think of us. What a goof I am. Yes, I am over...so over it.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
