And all through the week....their were Christmas parties happening all over town.  Not a present was wrapped, not a snack was prepared.  Just a momma in her kitchen going mad!
So it may not rhyme at all, but that is seriously how I feel.  We had such a busy weekend and the only down time I had I did stationery for other people.  I never got to any of the gifts I was going to make for Meredith's teachers/gym coaches/dance teachers/class friends/and so on.  So before each party I am scrambling to get things done.  Since they are all getting some form of stationery....I am literally making each gift.  Plus gifts for many other teachers all over town.  At least I am not the only procrastinator in town. 
Wednesday I stayed up late working on Noah's Mother's Day out teachers' gifts, only for school to be cancelled and him not need them.  Then I realized he had MDO this week, so that is the only gift done ahead of time.  Today I did Meredith's dancing teacher's gift right before we walked out the door and I just finished her classroom buddies, secretaries, and teachers' gifts.  Yes I said teacherS!  It wasn't enough to bring Mrs. Jenny a present, but she wanted to bring them to all the two year old teachers and the music teacher.  My giving child.  So I just finished.  And on top of that I have been managing my very busy stationery business.  I still have people ordering Christmas cards.  I think at this point I would have just given up!
We leave for Memphis Friday, not a bag is packed, not a present is wrapped, in fact I'm not sure I even purchased them all.  Hmmmm.  I need to recheck my list.  We get home in enough time for me to freak out about Christmas and then enjoy it.....the life of a busy mom. 
So forgive my lack of decent blogs, my head is spinning I am so damn busy.  I promise to be back to my witty old self you miss so much....all 3 of you!
Now I am off to lay my head on the pillow before I think of one more thing I have to do!
