October

Where in the heck did the month of October go? It is November 24th 2008 and one month from now I am going to be officially crazy-er. For some strange reason I am stuck in October-mode, I am an out of sight out of mind kind of girl anyway BUT this is INSANE! If I can't see it then it's not there. NOT a good way to go about life, I know but it's how I roll a good part of the time. My lack of interest in the year progressing and quickly coming to an end could actually be many things, like the fact that I hate winter-snow-the cold-puddles of yucky water on my kitchen floor-lost mittens and boots-kids that play in the snow for 10 minutes after I spend 87 minutes getting them dressed. Oh' that list is forever long! Winter dislikes aside, I have narrowed my denial down to this: I have NO clue what to get my kids for Christmas, that brings me to my next issue-where in the heck is that money tree we wished for all summer?, the thought of pulling out all the Christmas decorations UGH!, neighbor gifts, ideas for friends-family-teachers, Christmas cards, are you feeling the anxiety? I AM! For today, I'm not going to worry about it, I will MAYBE start tomorrow? If you are surprised at how fast October-November 24th 2008 has come and gone or if you are stressed out with the Holiday season just days away, if you are worried about money-gifts-or your mental health then "JOIN MY CLUB". I am here for you and I feel your pain, come over to my undecorated house and we will eat chocolate. FYI: if one more person asks me if I'm ready for Christmas or tells me that their shopping is done or just a few last minute gifts away from being done. I will ignore them for the rest of my life! I don't need friends like that. I like lazy-in denial-unorganized friends LIKE ME!
