Do not be fooled by the above date. It is NOT Christmas eve yet!! It is still Tuesday and I have not yet gone to bed!!!
One could - or should write a book on Holiday Stress. Or perhaps ... one already has. If so, I have not had time to read it.
There is good stress and bad stress. Good stress motivates you and helps you get projects done (it also keeps you up night after night to 2 or 3 am getting stuff done). Bad stress just makes you crazy. Then you take it out on everyone else.
I am currently moving between the two stresses. This mode just makes you become a crazed - tired - snappy - but motivated b-@#$-h.
I do so want to be Mary Bailey (or Donna Reed- same thing), hanging ornaments on the tree and humming while my daughter practices the piano in her Christmas dress. Instead, I have been accused of never taking time for these things.
Well, last night we did. And we had a wonderful time! Want to hear about it?
Well Ms Baily. I wish we could have been there. Instead on Sun. I draged my friends (gurmbling all the way) Christmas Caroling arounf Phillipsburg and then we had a nice dinner at there house. They tehn proceeded to give my daughter a very nice art table. Nice until you consider that Santa was going to bring her one. There has not been a lot of humming at my end either. But everything works out and today I find myself humming down the halls at the hospital and bring cheer to people who have far less reason to be cheery that we do but for the most part still are! As an added bonus I got to see a set of twins born just yesterday. Merry Christmas to a new family!
Think of all we have and be greatful we are truly blessed.
Mery Christmas!
Dear Mary, I truly know how you feel although personally I always wanted to be more like Mary Tyler Moore on The Dick Van Dyke Show..did that woman EVER sweat????????? Hardly seems fair. Anyway, just wanted to wish you and yours the merriest of holidays ever......
(Not to worry Sandra, one can always use an extra art desk, perhaps new bathroom decor?)
