Staring down the barrel of an unusually long week as we wait for Santa Claus to ravage our home with socks and useful household items! I hate the fact that school let out so early, and we have an entire week in which we need to entertain our kids prior to the big show. If Covid weren’t a thing right now, I would have loved if school could have gone right up until December 23rd, and then we’d of had a fun filled friday for Christmas Eve, then Christmas Day & Boxing Day, and then the kids would have had almost two full weeks to play with their new cherished toy(s) and we could putter around the house doing something constructive. Instead I needed to rush out in order to make play dates for both of my kids sets of friends, and keep them occupied for seven full days before the main event. It is stressful to say the least. I do like being able to spend a good chunk of time with them, but by 8:00pm, I’m ready for them to leave me the “F” alone. Come on holiday festive cheer! get me through this without an eye twitch or a set of equally horrible child melt downs!
