This Week – Of Christmas
I am happy to say that I am off this week…this week of Christmas. It’s the first Christmas week that I’ve taken off in…well, I’m not sure-how-many-years and I’m absolutely thrilled to pieces!!
Last year I felt like a lunatic trying to get everything done by Christmas Eve. So I announced to Andrew right then and there that I was going to take off the week of Christmas this year. And I did. And I am.
Today, while we were driving to my office to drop off some last gifts for my employees (surprise to them 🙂 Andrew said to me, “You’re off this week! What are you going to do with all of your time?”
{He knows I’m a wife and mom, right?…. ;)}
Well, since he asked….I proceeded to tell him all the big plans I have for the week:
- completing employee reviews (sounds like a blast, I know! but this is priority numero uno)
- final shopping for a few folks
- hopefully a little blogging (my, how I’ve missed it)
- a possible massage (thanks to a gift card I got for Christmas last year…)
- I might even take a nap…
See, I told you I have plans.
Right after I finished telling Andrew my plans he says, “I don’t want to jinx you or anything, and I feel like if I just go on and say it, maybe it won’t happen. So, you know….Reynolds is going to get sick tomorrow. He’s going to throw up and you’re going to have to go get him and then he won’t be able to go back on Tuesday and then you’ll be stuck….”
Gosh, honey. Thanks. The twinkle in my eye disappeared. My hopes were dashed.
I can’t wait for all of what YOU just said happens….dear.
Well, here’s hoping what Andrew said DOESN’T happen because if it does, I just might get a trip to the loony-bin for Christmas 😉
What do you have on your to-do list this week? Because, in case you didn’t know it…the count-down is on…
Hahaha! #shameonhim
