Life As We Know It: Drowning!?

Drowning!?

Am I the only one? I want to be enjoying this wonderful Christmas season but I feel like I am drowning. I have so many fantastic intentions to bake and be all Holly Jolly about life but I just can't seem to find the time...or the right spirit. Me, of all people...I can't find the Christmas spirit. I don't even want anything for Christmas...seriously...every year I can make a list a mile long of the things I want. Ok, I did ask for one of those winter hats that cover your ears and have the little tassles that hang down. But, I didn't get the real tree I wanted. I haven't sat down to watch a Christmas movie with the kids or even read them a Christmas story. I barely have time to cook, I can't keep my house clean, Christopher went in for oral surgery on Wednesday...which they only got half of his mouth done because the Anesthesiologist stopped the surgery because Christopher started having fluid build up in his lungs. We found out today that our insurance is cancelled on December 31st so we have NO idea when Christopher will have the second half of the surgery done! I just barely got my Christmas cards out, totally forget about gifts for the kids' teachers. I haven't had time to go caroling. Forgot to mail one of the envelopes for the big kids, now it won't be there for Christmas. I swear I feel a perminent crease in my forehead. ARGHHHH...What's my problem? I totally feel like I failed this holiday season. Am I the only one who can't seem to pull my head above water? Helllpppp! I'm drowning.

To know me is to love me...I guess

So here's me in a nutshell...I love to be around people. My friends are wonderful. I enjoy playing games, cards, dice, poker, guessing games, etc...I love, love, love, shopping...it's a hereditary addiction I'm sure of it. My favorite colors are pink and yellow...they are bright and cheery colors! I love white roses and red gerbera daisys. I like to cook and bake and would love to learn to sew better. I like the water...the lake, not the ocean. The ocean seems so intimidating...and dirty. Camping, swimming, quads, family functions~super fun~ I don't like loud noises or balloons popping. I'm totally afraid of falling and drowning. I am slightly competitive when playing games. I don't like to hurt people's feelings so I usually don't express emotion, frustration, confrontation very well. I am a good listener and try to solve problems logically. I watch very little TV. I love the Discovery Health Channel. Oh and LOST. There were two HBO shows I watched quite often but don't really have time anymore. I'm the Mom that stands at the sidelines of her kids' games yelling (good stuff) while others sit back quietly watching...and laughing. I don't mind laundry but I hate cleaning the bathroom. I like pizza! I love cheesecake. Dairy Queen used to be a daily event until I found I was lactose intolerant. I love to cook with cheese...cheese makes everything taste better. I have a love-hate relationship with working. I wish there were more hours in a day or more days in a week.....whatever! I express myself thru music and writing. I'm sure there is a lot more to say but only so much blog space.
