valarltdSo here it is: the last day of work.
Tomorrow, at some unreasonable hour, I will load the children (still sleeping, prie dieu) into the van and set off on a 500 mile journey. Hannibal is crossing the Alps.
Tonight, I must do laundry, pack, wrap the end of the gifts, put Velcro in all the Barbie clothes, and plan ahead.
9:30 and I'm hungry. Pop tarts have no staying power.
Some holiday joy. It feels more like an itenerary and an to-do list.
Damn cat knocked over the tree again. It looks more Charlie Brown each time.
I want egg-nog, with lotsa rum.
A few rum balls, some fruitcake, some fudge, a few golden no-bakes, nighty-night cookies and a rice-krispy date ball.
What I'm getting is cold tap water and a frozen TV dinner in about an hour.
But, there is one big sugar plum on my plate:
I found a Wizard Chess set! My 7 yo Harry Potter freak/Chess Enthusiast will be dancing!
(he got very excited in the store where we found them, but has resigned himself to waiting until his birthday)
Dooom. Dooooooooom.
Feed me chocolate! I'm ovulating and I deserve it!
