"Bah Humbug", no thats too strong cause it is my favorite holiday....

....BUT ALL THIS YEARS BEEN A BUSY BLUR DON'T THINK I HAVE THE ENERGY....
so finally finished my Christmas shopping Christmas eve, 3 jobs and a family crisis don't really mix well together at Christmas, what can I say, you do what you can, and you just keep going...I worked til a little after 1, then I hit the mall, Best Buy, Kohls, and then the whole world was closed, I had no wrapping paper so I was driving everywhere searching and then the lights were still on at the Big K, Please don't be shocked, as I was totally freaked out, its been a long time since I was in a freaking KMart, but hey the lights were on and they were crowded!
So as I wandered around the Christmas wrapping department, and it ht me - I still need things, so this was it last chance do or die, so I had to make a few purchases from KMart...its ok they were toys and movies and last minute crap that I probably didn't need they weren't makers or breakers of anyones Christmas, but still I fealt the need, and so finally at 7:40 pm, I am pulling out of KMart thinking I really do hope I didn't forget anyone....
So Home I go wih all my bags in tow, and knowing i had to be at Aunt Kits, also now known as Mom Mom because her first grandchild was born on this very Christmas Eve Day, Sorry I digress, I had planned to be there by 7 so this was a major setback for me! Anyway, I go home grab a few of the gifts I need for the Christmas Eve celebration at her house, and I needed to be there to grab Molly because I was her ride home for the evening!
Soooo Anway, get to Aunt Kits like 8:15 deliver a few presents hang out and before I know it, its 10:15pm, ok grab Molly get her together, drive her to her dads, in the meantime my phone dies, my dads car battery dies and he needs a jump, and he is trying to track me down, someone else rescues him, thank goodness, because I didn't get home til 11:40, ya you heard that and what faces me at home, 50 bags of Christmas Presents that need to be wrapped.....Lord please help me!

...TO ADD TO MY ALREADY MAD RUSH, BECAUSE ITS 'TIS THE SEASON THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ME WOULD BE....
anything Ed Hardy (and some sleep, but beggers cant be choosers right!) Ok so back to the mounds of wrapping that needed to be done, so my husband and I start wrapping, The tv was on and its midnight mass at the Vatican, and before I know it I am praying and reciting the mass out loud along with the translater, while I wrap, Billy must have been tired to because he didn't even realize what I was doing and he didn't even care about what was on the tv which is usually priority for him! So have way through the priests part of the "Our Father", I said can we please put something else on because I am actually annoying myself, I think the thoughts in my head,the constant wrapping the Roman Catholic voice in one language, the translaters voice in another, and the dictating coming from myself were all too much for me at this point. I felt a little robotic?!
So then before I knew it, it was 3 am, I was done wrapping, plugged i my phone, got a few text messages and started texting Gessika back andto my amazement she text me back, she was awake too! Finally Billy said lets exchange gifts now, I said ok without hesitation and then everything I was opening was ending up on my body, and this is the result...



...LAST YEAR SKI SHOP, ENCOUNTER MOST INTERESTING....
so this is what you get when you give a girl all she wants for Christmas, at 3:30 am and she is soooo most overtired, its almost like worse then drunk dana, well actually its way worse, because I put on from head to toe, my new Ed Hardy hat, with my new pj bottoms, with my new 5 inch Jessica Simpson boots and just to add some flair I decided it would be most appropriate to dance around holding Billy's new ed Hardy boxers, which his response to these is soooo classic. He opens everything and he asks me why I chose to need all this Ed Hard stuff, and decided to buy him something that no one will see, I see his point and I just had to laugh out loud!!! It was so cute and he was soooo right, why did I get him Ed Hardy boxers? Because, thats all I could find in his size and I had to get him something, no t-shirts in his size anywhere, I even stalked 2 different TJ maxx stores and ya see if I walked into a TJ maxx, ya know I was searching! (Nothing against Tj I just hate to dig for things, I need organization and neatly placed items displayed to me so I feel entyced to make a purchase, I know I am seriously crazy, I like everything spelled out for me, one time I begged a Macy's shoe salesman to take shoes off a mannequin for me, and he told me no, and I pleaded and finally he told me ok, I had to wait 3 days because those things are screwed into the floor and the merchandise doesn't just come off, hey I got the shoes I wanted, but if they werent displayed like that it wouldn't have created a need for me to have them! I know someone out there gets what I am saying, lol)
...SO DECK THOSE HALLS TRIM THOSE TREES, RAISE UP CUPS OF CHRISTMAS CHEER, I JUST NEED TO CATCH MY
BREATH, (because I do not want) CHRISTMAS BY MYSELF THIS YEAR....
so its off to bed I go and I take one last look at the Christmas Cards I didn't get in the mail, and thank everyone for the cards they sent to us,

but I can feel the crankiness coming out in me. I am hoping for a good night sleep, but the fact that I have to get up early to clean doesn't make it seem to promising. I piled the gifts up where I meant to put the tree, but ya there was no time this year, so really its ok with me! We have never worked so much as we have this year, I am just hoping you can all deal with the crazy Christmas we are having!
I have to sleep now!!!
...MERRY CHRISTMAS! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I HOPE I DON'T MISS THIS ONE THIS YEAR!
(i know, i just changed the words because they worked better for me, merry christmas!!!!!)

I feel exhausted just reading that blog! I don't know how you work with your busy schedule half the time. But I know what you mean, if I slowed down, I would be bored and feel like there was something I needed to do. And I'm cracking up. You're such a rabid shopper that you went to KMart and TJMaxx. That's hardcore.
