Do you ever just wish there was something that you could do to literally erase stress? I do....like now!
In the industry that I work in this is a CRAZY time of year. All of the insurance renewals for 1/1 are bing processed right now. It sucks the life out of me. I told a coworker today that the work stress kind of sucks the joy out of the Christmas season. The other day I had 258 emails. That is no typeo....I had 258 emails. Those all represent a task I need to process or an item I need to follow up on. Can we say stress? Well....somehow I got it down to 200...that is considering that I get about 40 every day. I am even more stressed out that we are have a short week this week....I know...I should be glad that the owner is letting us off early on Friday to kick of our Christmas holiday break but I am stressed....I got a lot to get done before then!
I also need to try to squeeze in dashing over to the school for Christmas partys and gingerbread house decorating this week.
Jamey's grandmother is coming into town tomorrow and that will mean a whole lot of "visiting"...which is fine because he is one of my altime FAVORITE people on this planet....but....my house is not up to par for her "visits". This is the woman who will lift the hood of my stove to clean it for me when I am not here. One day I found her vacuuming out my intake vents all through the house....stressing the importance of it. I wish I could have my house spotless before she comes but that ain't happening.
My Christmas shopping is not close to being done and money is tight so that is always F.U.N. :)
I need to wrap my mind around what all I need to send to school this week as far as book exchanges, party supplies I signed up for, time slots I am available to help with the parties, teacher gifts...then there is the office party gift, a gift for my supervisor, food for the office luncheon, juggling child care for the time the kids are out of school but I am not off work, when are we getting together with my side of the family, when are we getting together with Jamey's side of the family, who can keep the kids for Jamey and I to go finish up the shopping....I need to get my legal pad out and make a mac daddy list....all there is to it.
Reading back over this I can see that my brain is jumping around.....I am a spaze!
Fa la la la la......La la la la!
Later Gaters!!!!
