Sixth Day Poll

I've only got about four presents left.

How far along are you on your holiday shopping/making?

Well I have my husband to shop for and a handful of gifts would in theory like to make if I get my crap together and get them done but if I don't it is no biggie. I like to give baked goods to Evan's doctors but I got lucky this year and scored a ton of honey from my inlaw's beehives. Who doesn't love beautiful raw honey? This stuff is gold baby plus the bees do all the work.

I have all of the extended family bought and paid for, just waiting for pioneer woman calendars and pika peeks Christmas ornaments to arrive so I can ship them out. Now I only have the very, very important stuff left - husband & kids.

I have one more niece to get something for, and then teacher gifts (which will be homemade). The fact that Chanukah starts on Dec 4th has made me step up my act big time this year! :)

I'm thinking about it. A lot. But I'm only 3 presents in. Bright spot, I think I'm putting my tree up Sunday :D Maybe that will inspire me.

I'm doing well, but I buy for a lot of people, so I'm not even close to done. Well, close, but not super close. No ideas even for a few folks...

I'm sorry, but what holiday? As it's not yet December 1st, we are still basking in the glow of Thanksgiving here at the Dept.

I believe in giving each holiday its fair due.

Tomorrow begins a new Holiday Cycle, for which I have yet to begin. I'm not the least bit worried, either. I never am.

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...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?

Blown Away

That is a fitting name for this post, as the winds outside our house right now are blowing at speeds that have been clocked at 85 mph, which is technically hurricane-force. The wind truly sounds like a freight train. I have never experienced such a ferocious wind storm, and we get them every year around this time. Oy. If you've checked the news, you've heard about the Malibu fire, but seriously, when doesn't Malibu burn? Every frickin year they have a fire, it just goes with the territory of being remote and having heavy brush, combined with no irrigation and a canyon. It's just a volatile mix. Meanwhile, in the very canyon in which my house is located (the Fremont Canyon) we are in the thick of those winds clocked at hurricane speed, and it is just crazy, people. There are trees being uprooted everywhere, as well as something that just hit my roof. I'm not kidding. We have seen at least two transformers blow out, kind of pretty, actually that huge blue glow ...
