I’m a little overwhelmed right now. I came to the realization today that I have less than 2 weeks to finish my Christmas shopping since we’re going to Maryland the 19th and I had a total of 3 people marked off my list. The girls and I ended up making a trip to the mall and Wally World (ugh, but I had gift cards to use) and were able to knock five more people off my list. And may I say how good my girls are shopping these days. Emma walked beside the cart and Lexi rode in the cart and didn’t even ask to get out in the toy department. She just kept telling me to scoot the cart one way or the other. Fine with me! And I didn’t even buy them anything even though we bought for four other children. Very proud of them tonight.
Beyond Christmas, tonight I was feeling a little overwhelmed because I had two implementation for work and then two production jobs failed. Also tomorrow is my last day with my consulting company so I’ve been trying to finish up all the paperwork and number crunching to make sure I’m paid correctly.
Beyond Christmas and work, I have stuff on the side to do. The pastor asked me to get some clips from some DVDs together for the Christmas cantata. I have two people interested in me doing web sites. I need to get Flash installed (and learned) pronto.
Beyond Christmas and work and side jobs, I have miscellaneous stuff like getting my elliptical fixed. It’s squeaking really badly bad a lot and I had to call the manufacturer today. They’re supposed to be sending us parts and a technician within a few days. Also Scott ordered us DirectTV last week and the guy is coming tomorrow to install it. My only instructions from Scott were to "make sure the house is cleaned up so he’s not tripping over stuff." Nice.
Beyond Christmas and work and side jobs and miscellaneous house stuff, I have Christmas parties to prepare for. Food to prepare and gifts to buy/find and wrap.
And beyond all of that, I have the normal fix food, do laundry, watch tv stuff I need/want to do.
Yes, I’m overwhelmed right now.
