tornado

 

I’m not sure exactly when it started.   I suppose a quick look back over the dates of my posts would tell me, but I’m too lazy to do that and it wouldn’t really matter anyway.      I feel like a tornado came in through the front door of my life and scooped me up and I’m still just up there in the air going around and around and around in circles.

My son’s fiancee is now halfway through the pregnancy and I have absolutely no idea how that much time just slipped through my fingers.   We’ve just about emptied out the garage so hubby can get to work on the conversion.    This was supposed to have been done in October – and it’s coming up on Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving.   That means Christmas is right around the corner.   I haven’t even thought about Christmas.   The last few years, I’ve been on the home stretch of my gift buying by Thanksgiving.  This year …. eh.   Hubby wants to give cash to the kids and I’m all for that.   But he wanted to give cash last year and then decided that there had to be SOME presents under the tree which translates into …. last minute shopping.    It’s just so stressful.   And no, I really don’t want or need to hear anyone say that they are finished.   You early shoppers just talk quietly amongst yourselves … over there ->

I’m working frantically making lists and cheat sheets for the person who fills in this job behind me.   I’m just like that.

The dog goes to the vet today to have his stitches out and my daughter lost a filling this weekend, so Friday I have to take off of work so I can take her to the dentist.

I thought once the kids grew up, things would get easier.   I think I thought wrong.
