Another Late Night

I'm exhausted and emotionally spent right now, but I am happy that Christmas is almost here. I do feel like it kind of snuck up on me, though, because I've been busy buying Christmas presents and going about daily life. Kind of sad, but that's life this year. That's where I'm at, so I'm going to stop worrying about it now.

We're going to put up the tree tomorrow (today, technically). I remember reading about people putting up unbreakable ornaments around the bottom of the tree so the kids can decorate and redecorate and not be constantly told not to touch the tree. I like that! I wonder if we have some ornaments like that. I have a feeling we're not going to want them to be constantly messing with the tree, anyway, though. I would worry about ornaments being lost and little hooks falling out and poking someone or getting lost (and then poking someone!)

I have a headache. But, I'm here watching Blue's Clues with the kids whom I've been trying to get to sleep for quite a while now. We're having the last snack of the evening. @|@ I'm done being frustrated about it, though. I've already yelled at Katie enough for the rest of her little life. :( :( :( I'm so stressed. I think I might be having PMS.

My parents will be here Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Brian's parents will be here Saturday and maybe early Sunday. Lots to do before then, as usual! And that's an understatement. Oh, well. We'll work on it tomorrow when we're not putting up the tree. Thankfully, Brian is home until Thursday, which is always nice, but will be doubly so this time so he can help get things ready for the relatives.

I'm going to go now because Katie, who apparently has a bottomless stomach, is going to have more to eat. Good night!
