Day 133, Four more days 'till meltdown

Go ahead... ask me if I'm done wrapping my presents yet. Nope. Not even close. Pathetic. I'm too busy turning circles around myself trying to figure out what to do next. Ah, but the end is in sight....after all there's a deadline to all this madness, isn't there? At least I'm finally done with the shopping part of it....Now it's the wrapping and the baking... in that order. It's all good and fun, but consumes all my time in the days preceding Christmas...when I know my husband wishes I would relax more and spend some of my time with him...enjoying the season. Maybe that will be my New Year's resolution for next year....along with revisiting my goals for this year, which have not been realized...just in case you're wondering. Heck, I don't even remember what they were.... I think they were to spend more time with Ron.... excercise, and get my book published. So, that would be a definite "nope" for the year. Looks like I'm as bad at resolutions as I am RAKs. Maybe I'm too old to change. Hmm.

Know what I'm looking forward to most this Christmas? Andrew's phone call. It has been so long since I've heard the sound of his voice... I just can't wait for his call. That is the best gift of all. I often wonder if I will ever have all my little ducklings home for Christmas again....together. How I wish I would have treasured those years we were together more. They grow up so fast....and then scatter. Sigh. 'Tis why we always need to live in the moment.

Better get back to the wrapping. Deadlines to meet, ya know.
