Holidays! Warning they may make you go insane.

So it's December 19th around 12:00 PM and it was just released that Gov. Crist is giving us two more paid holidays, December 26th (which I was already off for, but now don't have to use my leave) and January 2nd; how nice is that? I bitch a lot about how much I don't get paid because we all know that money makes the world turn. But this is like a small Christmas bonus, and since most of our raises or lack thereof the legislature has to vote on, this really is nice. So thanks again Gov. Crist and BTW congrats on your new marriage and maybe I won't say anything negative about you or your administration for the rest of this year. So we are having a holiday party in 7 hours and believe it or not I'm really not that stressed out about it. I have planned well I think... The week started like this...Monday work was dead, Monday afternoon George to feel not so good. Men and sickness are not a good combo, for anyone. It's not his fault he got sick it just sucks. So the house is messy and presents still needed to be wrapped, and the menu needs to be planned oh my. So Tuesday, work is still dead and George is feeling worse and laundry is piling up. So I get through the laundry and now my beloved BF is sick, do I cancel the party, no he says. So I escape to my mom's to help her bake cookies for her tennis ladies, which was so much fun I felt like a little girl all over again and my parents fed me dinner, thanks, mom and dad. Wednesday, George stays home all day and is starting to feel better finally. I get home from work which was a little more busy thank heavens. Then we go to make grilled chicken salad for dinner and the chicken is bad. So now we have soup for dinner, or at least George did. I had cheese and crackers at 11:00, I was too busy making various cookies for the party. Thursday work was crazy, some patches needed to be pushed out for the Internet. That makes everyone panic for some reason because they have to shut down their machine...oh my won't I lose everything...well not if you save it. I get home unload $168 in stuff I got at Costco. Made 96 sausage balls, chopped up 2 cups of onions, and made the dip. Wrapped a couple of gifts and made dinner. Then it was 11:00 and I was tired...but I went to bed knowing that today was not going to be so stressful. Friday morning rolls around I get up earlier because I needed to wash my hair, got dressed, and off to work. Get to work and hear from my tenant about whether or not I would accept $400 instead of the $475 she is supposed to give me, I had to tell her no. Feel bad about that but I need the money too. Now I have changed my mind about my parent's gifts that I still need to purchase. Plus at 1:00 and pick up the smoked turkey breast. Then go home and vacuum and cook stuff. And now there is no work coverage. So I have to wait till my boss returns so now I am waiting... Merry Christmas everyone and Thanks again, Gov. Crist!
