Last minute things to do
Buy tapes for the video camera
and batteries for toys…
Sparking wine for the Christmas morning mimosas…
Charge the camera and video camera batteries…
Water the tree…
Plan tomorrow mornings food shopping trip–gonna brave the crowds…
Is this room cold or has the blood from my fingers gone to my stomach to digest the cheese and crackers I’ve just eaten. What if the heat’s gone completely out? Oh how my mind wanders to holiday disaster scenarios.
I stayed at My Kid’s school past drop-off this morning, long enough to listen to the sing-along. I am easily distracted from my to do list. But, it was worth it.
Then I went into the Manhattan to search unsuccessfully for some accessories for a gift already in the pipeline. What a waste of time. I didn’t find what I wanted. What a waste of time. I need to clean. I need to shop for other things. I need to shop for food. So much for tasty treats for My Kids teachers. Hey cut myself some slack, I organized the class gift. But, I visualized giving them the dried fruit that they noticed in My Kids lunch…but I didn’t make it to Sahadi’s this week. Oh, well, as class parent I did put effort into organizing the class gift. Oops I didn’t send any Christmas cards. Too late now. The Husband and My Kid are part Japanese, New Years Cards as a concept buys me some more time… The candy canes finally made it onto the tree last night but the snowflakes and My Kid’s twelve tiny brass angels are still in the box. Did I water the tree yet today?
I’m working on a clown festival application with a deadline of December 31. Why did I wait so long? What happened? It was just Thanksgiving and now tomorrow is Christmas Eve.
My sister’s coming to visit–with her cat…kitty litter… Does she still drink Diet Coke? I don’t have any. I’m such a bad hostess.
Times up! Gotta go pick up my kid so her vacation can begin.
