December Marches On

on Monday, December 8, 2008

As I sit here this morning and look out at the gloomy sky, I remember quickly that I cannot be sitting here looking out at the gloomy sky! It's December and I have things to do.

It's time to write the annual letter
Time to make my hair look better
Time to wash the weekly clothes
Time to make another list, so here goes...

Wrap the gifts to look real merry
Paint my toes so they don't look scary
Address and stuff the Christmas cards
Decorate the house, the front and back yards...

Help the kids to do homework
Have dinner ready, maybe roast pork?
Plan an 11 year old birthday party
Shop for gifts, while looking sporty

Bake some cookies and Remember the needy
Stop and thank the Lord, do a good deedy
Help the Girl Scouts with fundraising
Remember that Christmas is about Jesus, so be praising!

Attend the annual "Holiday" gathering for the hubby's work
And wear the girdle so you don't look like a dork
Remember you've worked out all year for this dress
Try not to spill on yourself and look like a mess!

Tuck the girls into bed, Peel the hubby off the sofa
Remember we've got stuff to finish daily to meet the Christmas quota
Have a glass of wine and look real cheerful
Because if we don't get this done, someones getting an earful!

Merry Christmas!
Kelly

Wow Taylor - I just read your article in the TS newsletter - I have to say that you sound like the healthiest 10 year old I've met in a long time...and I work with kids with so many different diagnoses! I agree that having a name for it all makes it so much easier to deal with....and knowing you and your family, I know you're going to come through this so much stronger! I'm so proud of you!
