I am sick as shit and still have Christmas shopping to do.
Ugh. Terrible cough/bronchitis that the doctor is concerned will turn into pneumonia. BoyMidlo has a raging case of strep throat and I still have stuff to do before Monday.

I should just tell BabyMidlo there's no Santa and take all the pressure off. :grr:

2. shop online and pay extra for last-minute shipping.

It'll cost more, but your sanity is worth it. :hug:

Midlo, I mean. Your sanity is long gone, between job, dogs, house and demanding GF.

Oh, and my coworker says that I should get a restraining order to keep your roomie from painting your house again, because that green in the pic of your calves looks like it belongs on a tractor.

13. We call it Tinsel Tension here. So many obligations....programs, recitals, meetings, etc.
But for some reason, the kidlets always get "buggy" at Christmas time.

Get well!

7. you need to stay home or else Christmas will not be enjoyable.
i had pneumonia a few years ago on Thanksgiving, i was getting sick and then it just ramped up so i ended up in bed for a whole week, Thanksgiving day was spent at Kaiser having a chest xray and then a shot of antibiotics.

15. Same here.
Last week was so stressful and now I'm sick... and so NOT ready for Christmas. I just want to curl up under the covers instead of decorating, shopping, cleaning, wrapping gifts, and cooking.

I truly hate this time of year. It never fails.
