Let's start a "SAVE KARYN" Campaign!!! WHO's WITH ME!

Mosh is right, kids.  And so is Noldar. 

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas--- fuhgeddabbouddit.  I cease to exist as a person and morph into a cross between Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus AND an elf... I make presents and shop for a host of people (including a bunch of kids from the Angel Tree), I bake insane amounts of sweets and goodies, I wrap for DAYS, I make our Christmas Cards and hand write and address them, blah blah, blah... Just the house decorating takes me two days (It's Julianna's Christmas Wonderland, y'all).  Oh! And we have to go see Santa and take sevral trips to see the lights throughout the season as well.  All the while keeping up with the normal momminess of laundry, cooking and cleaning, nose-wiping, homework-helping, and taxi service.

It's the only way to make the magic for the kids.  I realize that not all mothers take things to such extremes, but it was done for me, so I will do it for them.  I literally collapse into bed each night.

Moms are freaking busy right now.

Merry Christmas, boys.  Miss you.

Merry Christmas Jules! 

resting:  that's what New Year's Day is for, roight?

Don't forget to take 5 when you are done, and don't forget leave the washing up 'til boxing day.
 
Also don't forget when the kids get all growed up enough, which will be all too soon, you can call in the debt...  That's a joke too, because when they are old enough they expect YOU to drop anything you may be doing and fit around THEIR plans...
 
I put my foot down this year after they submitted their 'available on' dates, and said we are having the head honcho Matriarch of the family up for the Holidays and SHE is taking precedence and they can fit round her schedule (or not).  So it's going to be a cosy fun threesome here with no hysteria, and everything nicely chilled.

 
Bless 'em all.

I stand corrected! Thanks Julibee! I had my daily helping of becan. I Am fine now.


P.S. Please disreguard all my posts made before this one.

Ok, so how many of you just got a visual of Julibee as an elf? 

Julibee Arwin?

Well, lots of cookies to bake in the next few days, cinnamon rolls (or face very bad consequences if I don't), stuff for Christmas dinner, and a 2nd Christmas dinner (is that like a later version of 2nd breakfast?), and then more of the same for New Year's.

Julibee, have fun (sounds like you are)!
