lose yourself in lines dissecting

I was in a pretty foul mood all day yesterday. Not really sure why — I was reasonably well-rested and even had a chance to do some cleaning in the morning. But Gus was acting bratty which was making me pissy. Plus I didn’t leave the house all day, never a good thing for me (unless I am sick).
Probably it’s the holiday stress. Now that last busy week is over I can finally get to the holiday planning, and OMG xmas is coming up fast! I fretted lots yesterday over how to get the shopping finished now that I’m working so much. Around dinnertime I forced us to get cracking on the cookie baking lest we feel like Santa’s sweatshop elves in 2 weeks time.
Maybe it’s the restorative power of watching 30 Rock until midnight, but today was better. We had crepes for breakfast, yum (though I was still shaking off the pissy until afterwards). In the afternoon we went out to get haircuts for the boys, shed our newly-paper-jammed 7-yr-old energy-sucking laser printer, and finish shopping for my niece. Then we went to the pastry shop for restorative snacks. When we got home Gus + I worked on birthday thank you notes, and Jonathan baked another batch of cookies.
Now I feel better. Really the shopping is almost finished, and 40% of the cookies are baked. Next weekend we’ll pick up a tree at the sale at Gus’s school. It’s all under control.
Hmmm…maybe that’s just all of the sugar talking. Should I be freaking out? No time now, more 30 Rock to watch. Later!
