I am NOT having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I am NOT moving to Australia.
It was NOT 6 degrees outside today. I did NOT warm up by getting raked over the coals at work today by an angry mom.
I do NOT hate Perrla beads. I did NOT promise to play with them this evening with my daughter. I do NOT get a weird vestibular reaction when I try to place the tiny beads on the even tinier little stakes.
The ketchup bottle did NOT fart all over my daughter and her clothes and the table and the floor. It did NOT look like a grisly murder scene. I did NOT spill water everywhere, requiring an entire clothing change.
I did NOT skip 2 doses of Lexapro b/c I'm been so happy and didn't think I needed them. I have NOT made this mistake before. I have NOT been a crabby mother this weekend.
I am NOT in desperate need of encouragement right now.
I am NOT in tears 3 days before Christmas. This is NOT happening.

I view the holidays just like our trip to Disney World....it is supposed to be the happiest place (time) on earth but why does everyone look so miserable?
I have been running all over northwest Arkansas trying to pull off a Christmas miracle for my kids only to have them complain about EVERYTHING that exists in this world. I did NOT burst into tears after someone pulled out in front of me the other day.
You are having one of those days that require a glass of wine, early bedtime for the kids and a fresh start tomorrow morning. I already have mine poured.
*hugs*

I'm with Linda on the whole holiday scenario. You can make it Michele. Only 3 days left and then no more till next year!! If you need someone to vent to and share that glass of wine with I'm here for you. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
LOVE YOU BUNCHES,

I did NOT end two days of marathon shopping this last weekend before Christmas by dropping the Angel snow globe (that was a Christmas gift) that I had been to four stores to find. I did NOT feel like crying but was just too damn tired to do it.
As far as I can tell having a few crying bouts and nearly having a nervous breakdown is part of Christmas shopping, preparation, and baking/cooking. Personally, without the occasional (okay perhaps frequent) use of meds and alcohol, I would not make it through the Christmas season.
That is why I refuse to do anything on Christmas Day other than spend the day with my husband and child and go to Mass. It is my one completely peaceful day for the Christmas season.
Merry Christmas to you Michele and may you have some peaceful time during this holiday season!

Hey! Have a super holiday. I am having trouble downloading your blog, though. I guess we are the last people in the modern world who still have internet through our phone but broadband still isn't our here. Anyway, take care and have a blessed season!

I did NOT forget to start my car before getting into it. I was NOT absolutely freezing. I did of course crank the heat the minute I got in. I was NOT on my way to Walmart (when did they lose the hyphen??) for the second time in 24 hours. I did NOT get out of the car, lock the door, and hit the remote starter for it to start again. I would NOT waste resources and polute the world that way. I did NOT hurry through Walmart in an effort to get back to the car before it could kick off and get cold again. I did NOT jump for joy when I walked out the door and saw exhaust still flowing freely from my pipe!
Hang in there for Christmas. My advice is always to reorganize priorities. Let some stuff go. Of course, it is after midnight. I just finished blogging only the second part of our three part Christmas letter. I haven't started baking yet - there is tomorrow. (Your blog was my reward for finishing the letter.) Now I am off to scrub the bathroom so we are not completely embarrassed when Pat's (much cleaner and much more organized than me) family comes tomorrow. I have obviously marked sleep off my priority list.
You know that the most important things will actually get done and no one will know about the things that don't. All that matters is that you and Scott and the girls have a good and happy time. Celebrate that 'Mom is Healthy' this year! - Amy H
I am NOT glad that someone else that I love and respect is on Lexapro!
I hope you and your family has an amazing 2009- you deserve it! Your family picture is beautiful by the way. And I'm proud of you.
Do NOT be a stranger.
