Ahh, December. The craziest month of the year in my home. You see, we are fortunate to also have a December birthday in our home. Eight years ago, Einey decided to forgo her late January birthday and graced us with her presence on Christmas Day. So in addition to the normal holiday run-around, I also need to plan and implement a party in there. Which should be easy, right? Wrong.
I have to plan around holiday parties. Basketball season is now officially in gear, so that means Friday nights and weekends are spent in a gymnasium watching youngsters dribble a ball back and forth across the gym. There is Christmas shopping (which I barely started already. I think on-line may be the way to go this year). There's the annual Christmas pageant at school. And then the holiday parties. And the kindergarten Christmas show. There are parent-teacher conferences and IEP's. Scout meetings and cookie training. And then, hope and pray that it doesn't snow.
And that's not even counting what we want to do - things like taking in Christmas shows at the local theater. Visiting Bright Nights in Springfield, MA. Breakfast with Santa.
Ahh December. Wake me when it's over.
