| does anyone else feel the pressure |

I haven't recovered from the months and months of work from the election and now here come the Holidays. I scrubbed walls and washed curtains yesterday, as well as shopped for the Thanksgiving meal and company will be here then. I have Christmas shopped and still have that to wrap and did 60 Christmas cards today. We still have to decorate and I have around 600 or so reindeer food to make for the kids. and the carpets to clean. It takes all the fun out of being an adult.:crazy:

| 1. Yep I'm feeling as strung out as I can ever remember |
|
But it's made me take a different view of this holiday season. I'm not buying into the crazy consumerism. I'm emphasizing time with family and friends. And I'm trying to use Dickens in a more serious way than ever before.

Partially because of finances and partially because I don't want to buy into the consumerism craze.....

I don't really clean the house until after the company leaves, I still vaccum and pick up, but they're just going to mess it up any way, secondly, my mom did all the shopping, I just have to cook it. The only thing left for me to do is shop for the kids and wrap, which I usually do while they are at school. Christmas cards don't do them and forget cleaning the carpets. Is there any way you can get help?:crazy:
