happy christmas!

holiday recap:

we had to bail on christmas eve with kc and emily's family

because e was sick and FUSSY and went to bed at 6:45

(too anxious for santa i suppose)

so i made us a little christmas quiche

and finished up wrapping gifts and

we fell asleep to Christmas Vacation

christmas morning was spent at the zierdens

where santa karna deliviered big time!

trucks and books and puzzles

and itouch stuff and home depot gift cards

and much much more.

e loved opening presents

his or anyone elses

and trying to eat the oranments on the tree

christmas night at the sean owsley house

with lots of food and family

and a little sharing of christmas stories/songs

jon sang "have yourself a merry little christmas"

and everyone was thankful that we finally

have someone who sings on pitch in the family.

next year i will start preparing in september

so that i can enjoy the season more

and decrease my stress level

i hope...

12 days of christmas for someone

what to get the parents?
wish i had more money
or at least more time

i passed out at work last night
while a patient was getting an epidural
right after i told the dad to sit down
so he doesn't pass out
ugh.
so embaraassing
not sure why it happened.
not my blood sugar
not pregnant
(i wish i was)
maybe cause she was squeezing my hand
SO SO SO hard
maybe cause i am overwhelmed with
"to do" lists

a wise woman,
who happens to be my best friend
and my sister
and the mother to all but one of those silly kids on the couch,
reminded me,
we fill our days with "to do" lists when we ought to
be making "to be" lists

who do i need "to be" today and this holiday season?
