today is a lazy morning. It's the only day in weeks that I've no where to be, nothing that I HAVE to get accomplished. I mean, the clean laundry mountain on the dryer should get folded and maybe I should finish the sugar cookies. But, if I don't do those things, my life isn't over!

I took Patrick to work in my pajamas.... shh!! don't tell! And, came home to take advantage of the internet that someone let us use til the end of the month. It's kind of nice to have the internet and not have to look everything up on Patrick's tiny cell phone screen. However, when he gets home from work, he just watches "funny things cats do" or "stupid things people do" on here. So silly...

Christmas is coming in 6 short days. In 5 short days is our Christmas Eve tradition with Christmas dinner this year. In 4 short days is pie baking day and "getting ready for Christmas festivities day." I just have to make it through tomorrow, which will be a long day of cleaning someone's house and grocery shopping and cleaning one of dad's offices late at night. oh tomorrow, go by fast!

I may or may not be just a little bit SUPER EXCITED for Christmas! I cannot wait! It's the best time of the year! Well... for those few days surrounding Christmas. Then, summer is the best time of year. Anyways, I just can't wait to watch my 8 year old brother open his gifts and be all excited like 8 year olds are! And, I can't wait to GIVE the gifts we've bought for everyone. I can't wait to see all of their faces! :)

I've made 4 or 5 kinds of cookies. Mom is make 3 or 4. And I think my grandmothers are each bringing some, too! Talk about Christmas cookie overload.... especially since it's just us this year and no cousins or anything. I think we'll all weigh about 50 pounds more!

I'll probably be bored by the end of today. Unless I just stay in this comfy sweatshirt all day and read and use this internet stick and maybe create something. When life is crazy busy and there is ONE day that it isn't. It's a weird feeling of relief, yet restlessness. James MacDonald will be blaring from my iTunes account today. You can be sure of that. And, hey, it's already 10am and I still haven't had breakfast! It'll go fast and I'll be wishing it was slower by tomorrow morning!

Dreaming of a white Christmas and a Christmas where special memories are etched into our hearts forever!

i must go make myself breakfast and get my life in order. my mom might call and ask if I want to meet her... sometimes she does that. :) and, i'd hate to be in my glasses with crazy hair and a big grey sweatshirt on.
