Is Christmas really next Tuesday? Raise your hand if you are not ready? Can you see my hand raised and wildly waving in the air? Well, it is. Not only am I not finished with shopping but I have only wrapped 3 things. Which I made myself do this morning when I couldn't sleep. And I doubt I'll finish it today because I'm just in a Bah-Humbug mood today.
There is a point at which "I can't take anything else right now" sets in and it was this morning. It started last week with being out of power. Started to feel crummy last Friday with a clogged head. Garage door spring broke. Got 2 unexpected medical bills that are due. The tree needs to be taken down. Christmas shopping still not done. Haven't been sleeping well because I still feel crummy. Today the thought of swallowing makes me cringe. I'd be at home in bed but I don't get sick days and missed work all last week because of the lack of power. But the real kicker was the little gray mouse that ran across my kitchen this morning.
It sent me soaring and screaming like a mad woman out of the kitchen and onto the chair in the living room. Ethan laughed. Brian told me to quit overreacting. I started crying. It was too much for me. It bothered me enough that I sent Ethan to school without a lunch because I didn't want to go back in the kitchen.
Fortunately, I have a mother who is always there to rescue me so Ethan will be enjoying Chick-fil-a provided by Mimi. And she's going to tell me the best traps to set to catch the rodent. Unlike my sister, a live trap is not necessary- just one that works.

You poor thing! It's been a rough couple of weeks for you.
Yes, I have some good stories for you... things I shouldn't blog about!
