Official countdown to my last day of work: Five. Can I get a yee-haw!
The kids and I did all manner of Christmas-y things this weekend including a trek to the hills with Jana and Co. to cut a Christmas tree. Last week was Kaley’s
You gotta love that kid.
I have found that, in situations such as these, a little hot cocoa goes a long way in making things right, especially when said cocoa is laced liberally with peppermint schnapps.

Also, a little bit of marshmallow and some rice krispie treats go a looong way in making
frozen kids happy. In short, we had a great time.
Sunday, we baked cut sugar cookies, which are a huge part of our Christmas traditions; I think I am finally getting in the mood which should make my mother breathe a little bit easier (see Mom? Not depressed! Just a little over-whelmed, lately).

When the last of the cookies had been stored safely in the freezer, I took the kids to the paint-it-yourself pottery place. I painted a “Cookies for Santa” plate (see! Christmas spirit!), the Girl painted a dragonfly trinket box as a gift for Brandon’s mom and the Man-Cub painted a piggy bank shaped like a football for himself (the spirit of giving, it appears, arrives later for some than for others; we’re working on it).
Today, I am putting off the task of cleaning out my office; it is amazing and, somewhat dismaying; how much crap one accumulates after almost nine years in the same job.
Tonight, I have my Board Christmas dinner followed by a wicked case of heartburn (I’m guessing).
But, that's ok.
Only five more days to go.
Hey, e-mail me your address.

Peppermint schnapps hot chocolate sounds so good today, but I have no schnapps in the house and I am NOT going back out into that snow to get some. ; )
Down to three!
