Christmas is like a wedding… all the planning and prep and then the day comes… and then it is over, except there isn’t a honeymoon. \u00a0 Aw… my boys are so excited. \u00a0I am so excited for them.<\/p>\n

This weekend has been nice to be home. \u00a0Sanj has been taking the boys to hockey. \u00a0Then he comes back and works on the rink. \u00a0For hours yesterday, the boys (not so willingly) and Sanj took turns running up the hill to the rink and dumping the bin of water every 5 minutes to try and flood it and add coats of ice. \u00a0( I am guessing this part).<\/p>\n

This morning Josh is complaining quite loudly of a stomach pain. \u00a0It is constant and he is whining. \u00a0I have this trauma of appendicitis. \u00a0It was so stressful when Zach got his out. \u00a0The stress of watching him in pain, getting in and out of the bed.. the fear that was in his eyes as they tried to start the IV…<\/p>\n

Then there is the fear of if this is real, I am so not ready for Christmas. \u00a0I am 80% done. \u00a0I have a few things to finish up over the next couple of days before the boys are off. \u00a0That is my personal deadline… Wednesday.<\/p>\n

I want to get groceries, do some baking, and prep food for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day!<\/p>\n

So, of course there is lots to do. \u00a0Fitting in an appendix removal isn’t in my plans. \u00a0Of course, more than likely Josh will be fine.<\/p>\n

It’s snowing out lightly. \u00a0It is so beautiful. \u00a0My mom is here… and this means she has been doing laundry all day and night. \u00a0The bags of laundry that accumlated due to the broken dryer issue are all done.<\/p>\n

I am glad she is here… except that she can’t sit still. \u00a0She finds something to cook or clean constantly. \u00a0This means I am feeling the need to clean too. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0I better head to the book store and get her a good book that will occupy her. \u00a0\u263a<\/p>\n

Max has to make food from Lithuania. \u00a0 Here’s my pet peeve with school… why give a kid a project that they are not going to be able to do themselves… \u00a0I am all for helping but really Max is not going to be making 30 potato pancakes himself… let’s add that this is the week of Christmas… hum… not really cool.<\/p>\n

Actually I am annoyed. \u00a0It’s \u00a0Sunday afternoon, I just nagged and yelled to get the boys to finish putting all the clothes away… \u00a0and really all I want is to rest, well at least put my clothes away and tidy up my room. \u00a0Nope… potatoes are calling to be peeled and grated. Guess what we are going to have for supper?<\/p>\n

Are you done your shopping? \u00a0Are you ready for Christmas?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
