Wishing you a merry little Christmas
Right now I should be:
packing
cleaning
wrapping
Three little words, and yet they're big, seemingly insurmountable jobs, especially when it's 10:11 at night and you're leaving first(ish) thing in the AM.
Today was a big day full of excitement and baking and oil changes and manic ends-weaving (which I still haven't finished). It was so much that my battery completely died at 5:30 (that metaphor was for you, Jocelyn) and while I crawled up the stairs and into bed to catch a second wind, Dave wrangled the kids into the car and took them out to eat. He even brought me dinner. I didn't think I slept but I missed two calls and three texts and my phone was right next to me on my nightstand.
Tomorrow morning we point the car in a southerly direction and head to Virginia for Christmas where I will probably be doing the above-mentioned wrapping. My dear friend's parents are going to make use of our house while we're gone, which is great. I often feel sad that we deck the house and the tree out for Christmas, but we've never actually had a chance to plug the lights in on the big day itself. It'll be nice to know our new pad won't be lonesome on the big day. Silly, isn't it?
Meanwhile, I hope you have a very cozy, and very Merry Christmas, wherever you are...

Ha ha! You were a lifesaver! I still can't get over the fact that my car died RIGHT IN YOUR DRIVEWAY...a blessing for sure!
