Two, and three.

Our family is happily waiting Christmas morning. Well kinda happily. The munchkins are being overly hyper :P... the Daddy(me) is being overly sick...the wulfa is being overly worn out from a long workweek. Still tomorrow should be good for everyone. We've got a lot of activities planned out and thanks to numerous friends and family the munchkins have a LOT of presents to open. Wolflette(yeah we don't really play orcs anymore) is almost slobbering with excitement.... Miniwolf is cheerfully oblivious and just wishes his mommy would let him play with the tree ornaments. Speaking of being sick. Since we got done with finals.... Sat Dec 10th ish... I've been sick every day excepting two of them. It hasn't been the same sickness...the first week was a fever with dizzyness...this week has been flu-like chills/sweats with loads of headache, coughing and nausea. I really want to simply be well again.... this has been too much. Well thats everything from me for now.

Before I start on my planned post, let me tell everyone that Miniorc woke up at 2 a.m. this morning and stayed up til 5 a.m. I'm waiting for my crankiness factor to go sky-high. Currently the coffee is keeping it at bay. I was shopping with a friend yesterday and I was telling him that I hate it when people call me "dear" or "honey" unless they have major gray hairs. I don't reach 5'2", and frequently bigger people, unknowingly or not, do that whole looming/power thing. It's why I want a monster truck that someone would have to haul me into. Power, people. When you trivialize my name, you assume familiarity and a sort of power over me. And when I'm the retail guru helping you find a book? You don't have that right. But I can't really say anything, because most of the time they seem like nice people, and I don't want to turn nice retail customers into annoyed retail customers. They start to yell. And I know not everyone feels like...

This is my second day of three of 8-hour workdays. I usually get put at our customer service desk, which means I'm always moving. Tiring, but a great way to burn calories. We are done with Christmas shopping and the kiddos are excited about getting to open their presents on Christmas Day. Are you done? Or are you braving the malls and stores to get those last items? It's not too bad at my mall. I've seen so much worse. But of course if the item isn't there you can't order it. Some people seem to think you can. I guess Next-Day Air ... but that's usually more expensive than the gift itself. We ordered a Christmas meal from Albertson's. I pondered learning how to successfully bake a turkey, but then I decided that it would be too much work since I'm putting in lots of hours at B&N. I'll make the desserts, but that's fun and not too much effort. I'd like to volunteer somewhere for something Christmas related, but we simply do not have time. ...
