Tis the Season...

I am hacking and sneezing, and generally feeling quite miserable... yes, I have a cold. I got it from my son, who probably brought it home from school... Oh joy.

On Saturday I spent TWELVE ... yes, count them.. TWELVE .. hours baking Christmas cookies...and I have to bake more. You see, MY idea was to give the neighbors we have become friends with, a nice plate of cookies with a Christmas card... well.... we did that. And then my husband decided we should take it one step further... we should take plates of cookies to all the neighbors who came to our progressive dinner party we had a few weeks ago, uh huh... riiiiiiiiiight. And of course if we do THAT.. then we should also take a plate of cookies to our sons friends parents, and on and on it went... and now ? WE HAVE NO COOKIES FOR OURSELVES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GEE... IMAGINE THAT... LOL.. like baking over 300 cookies to begin with wasn't enough !!!!
SO now... I get to bake... you guessed it.. MORE COOKIES !!! We did try baking more sugar cookies tonight, but my husband decided to try using splenda this time what with my being diabetic and all. Nope.. don't try it folks... it DID NOT work, all you had to do was look at a damn cookie and it crumbled into a million pieces. So... two batches of dough useless, and went into the garbage. Now I get to start all over again, with SUGAR this time.

My shopping is all done, which is a damn good thing because we are broke until Friday.. and I dont mean we are 200.00 til payday broke, oh no.. I mean we are overdrawn in our bank account broke... guess we got a little carried away .. OOPS. Damned mastercard cash card anyway... we tried keeping track of what we were doing but when you are in the middle of a spending frenzy you tend to forget... and we did... boy, did we ever ( SIGH ).

My brother will be here on the 26th of December, I haven't seen him since last Christmas. He lives in Florida. We will be having a party for him... nothing like a good excuse for a party huh ? LOL.

And I can not wait for the Holidays to be over.... its stressful, we spend more money than we should and then obsess over how we are going to get back on track. We always do but it takes us a month or two. We never use credit for Christmas, which I guess is a good thing. In fact, things have been so stressful that my husband started smoking again.. which, caused me to start back at it again this week too.. I fought it for 3 weeks... but failed last week. And I am feeling the effects of it. I do not know why I did this.. and my husband sounds horrible. I am very worried about his health. He has been non stop coughing for the past 2 days.. and he started off smoking cigars but 2 days ago, you guessed it, went to cigarettes, and thats when he started coughing. Thank God he has a DR appt Wednesday.

Nothing much else to bitch about.. LOL. And now, I should get to bed , because I have to start on the cookies first thing in the morning....

I am going to have nightmares about little sugar cookie monsters chasing me in my sleep... Pleasant dreams !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
