Drama, Drama, Drama

Drama: Tree up, looks VERY sad. The top lights worked, the bottom lights worked, but not the middle. I CAN NOT GET INTO THE CHRISTMAS MOOD. So I left it. Super Sister-In-Law swoops in this weekend for a visit and has my tree looking all fabulous with working lights. She sat in my floor on Sunday afternoon and went through each light and replaced the non working ones. AND because I had to work a visitation Sunday afternoon, I wasn't even there when she left. I had to call her to tell her thank you. I feel like a bum, every time she comes to visit, she either, keeps my kids for me to work, washes dishes because I haven't had time, or now fixes my pitiful little tree. Now I have to get up off my lazy behind and get the decorations down and on the tree. I broke tradition this year for the first time in 35 years, the tree did not go up on my birthday...

Drama: Work. Work is always dramatic. Just putting a scratch pad down in the wrong place requires an investigation and 500 word report. Drama.

Drama: 7th grade basketball causes all kinds of drama around here. Will the game be canceled? How do we get from basketball practice to piano lessons without being late? Will she get her size 11 basketball shoes in before BASKETBALL IS OVER?

Drama: SEMESTER TEST RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK. That is enough drama to put me in the mental institution alone. Seriously, we make sharpening a pencil and looking for paper more dramatic than the actual studying.

Drama: AMAZON LOST MY ORDER. MY MAJOR CHRISTMAS GIFT ORDER. FOR.THE.LOVE.OF.PEANUTBUTTER.AND.JELLY. It left Memphis on December 4, 2008. I LIVE 45 MINUTES FROM MEMPHIS. Seriously.

Drama: Someone was late this month. SO MUCH drama.
