As I type this there are a million and one things that I should be doing instead of this. For reasons unknown, I didn't realize that Christmas was this week until yesterday. So I have been doing a mad dash to get at least a few things under the tree for the family. I literally had one solo gift under the tree until last night. One little gift. To make matters worse, it was something that someone sent me, not even something that I bought.
I don't even know why I'm so slack this year. I started off with a bang! I put up 5 trees and started putting up my lights outside and halfway through, I lost momentum. No room is completely finished. The stockings were hung but not by the chimney with care. (Twas the Night before Christmas reference there if you missed it). My wreaths aren't up and I didn't get the lights put around the roof.
IF anyone gets me a gift this year, I'm just going to remind them of a year when I bought everyone something and didn't get a thing in return. I can recall some years spending over 4K on gifts. Trust me that is dumb on so many levels for me anyway. If you feel the need to waste that type of money, oops I mean to spend that type of money, by all means, do you boo boo. As for me and my house, we are going to live like we know what is important.
I went to dollar tree and got Nina a bunch of stuff that she is just going to tear up and lose anyway. The best thing is that I"m not going to sweat it at all because it wasn't a large investment. This little girl gets stuff that holds her attention for one day and then she moves on. Maybe it will change when she gets older but for right now that is one attribute that she received from her mother.
Lyssa can get all of the name brands because I will make them. I sure will. I'll pull out the press and some vinyl and create some wizardry in these parts. At the end of the day, you will not know the difference and if you do, it means you are too close to my baby. Back up off her before you have more issues, I'm just saying.
Anywho, I hope you have a Merry Christmas. Be safe and be careful. Don't let this Christmas be your last. Love you. 30-Lo Out!! (Drops mic)
