hearts and roses

Back "in the day", whenever that was, I could bake 3 dz cookies, take down all my every day decor and replace it with all my holiday decorations, deck the halls, the tree and everything that needed decking, sing along with the christmas carols, and still get a dinner on the table. I mean, I had energy to spare and I was in a good mood....happy in fact. And that was when the girlies were too young to really be of major help. Now that they are old enough to help, they are more of a hinderence.
I am pooped. It took me ALL DAY to get my stuff down, and put up all the christmas decorations, deck the tree and well, okay, one hall, and then, just after we packed away all the boxes, etc and I'm getting ready to vacuum up things....the ding dang tree toppled over and a lot of our ornaments were smashed up and so many of the things were skewed.
So, we had to re-clean up and throw out all the glass, vacuum, fix the existing ornaments and stuff...and then H took me out for a burger because he knew there was no way I was cooking...and then I came home, picked up easy child and we went food shopping.
I am feeling really old. Need more energy...need to get my sorry behind back to the gym and get some blood moving in my body. I am winded and and beat out. My temper flares at the slightest of things. I noted that easy child had put in a load of HER whites, but I had planned on putting hers in with mine, to make a full load. Well, when I saw that, I was so exasperated! H snapped at me to calm down, it wasn't a big deal...and it's not really. What is that? Ugh.
No cookies, no dinner, a crappy looking tree, and I'm exhausted.
So, about those things I love about Christmas...lol
