Y'all. I just looked at the calendar and panicked. Not over gifts (well, except for the two that still haven't arrived) or the stocking stuffers. That, shockingly enough is well in hand this year. Although, as a side rant, Etsy Seller - do NOT create a shipping label on the 16th and not ship the damn package! As of today, the item still has NOT shipped. At this point, I'm not expecting this item to show up on time.
No, I am in a panic over the baking and candy making. I just pulled all the frozen cookie dough out to thaw and figure I will be non-stop baking and candy making between now and Tuesday. In addition, to cleaning like a crazy woman before Tuesday.
Why am I in a panic over getting all this done prior to Tuesday, you ask?
We can blame The Husband. He decided, on a whim, that we should have a few of the neighbors over for drinks and appetizers on Tuesday and just informed me of this yesterday after already mentioning it to said neighbors first - but apparently, it didn't sink in for me that we were staring down the end of the week until today.
So, in addition to all the baking, candy making, cleaning, and deciding on Christmas Eve dinner dessert, I now probably need to come up with an appetizer all by Tuesday.
Which is (counts on fingers) five days from now.
I could be mad at him but really, it's my own fault. I've been living in my head for the past few months and hadn't realized that Christmas - and all the attendant "events" - was right around the corner.
And here we are. *sigh*
What's causing you angst or panic right about now?
