Part II Little beasties fed. Dishes cleaned. Lights on the tree. Baths done. Bedtime FINALLY here. DH and I are beat. We had "help" with the tree tonight from the munchkins. I was going to decorate the tree after they went to bed but I promised Moira she could help me in the morning (Hahahaha). What the HELL was I thinking?? Oh well, at least I have more time to play online. Who the heck needs sleep anyway? I am pretty used to getting 5-7 hrs a night.

WHEW! What a loooong day. Up to get Mo Bear to the bus. Off to car dealer for my plates (thanks Lester Glenn) and then a quick run to a craft supply store - AC Moore. Always mobbed. I got there when they opened and zipped around with Miss Olivia. Checked out and as I get ready to go outside.. RAIN! Argh! I get Olivia all bundled up like Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" and we run to the car. Luckily, I was close to the door since I got there early. BUT (big but) some ASSHOLE parked SO close to the driver's side - I couldn't get in my door!!! I was SO pissed. I stuff Olivia in through the passenger side to her car seat, load the packages, and then I have to CLIMB over the passenger seat AND the gear shift (all conveniently connected!) to get into the driver's seat. I am SO lucky I didn't slip while climbing over! Talk about a BIG owie! We make it home in one piece, no thanks to the idiots on the Garden State Parkway. You know the type, the ones who drive FASTER when it's raining. Usually in their freakin' SUV's that are the size of my house (Navigators, Excursion)! Grrrrr!! Feed the lil beast, read a book, and stuff her in for nap. Wrap the gift for the gift exchange for the Daisy Holiday party (which is at 330pm). Spray paint a basket for another Secret Santa gift for a 14yr old girl.Packed the car with all the stuff for the Daisy party. Manage to jump in the shower and get dressed before Olivia woke up. As soon as Jackie arrived to baby-sit, VOOM! Out the door to the party I go. As I am turning the corner, I realized I forgot the gift for the Daisy party! CRAP! BACK home to get the gift and ZOOM! BACK out the door. I will skip most of the details about the party. Just imagine 13 hyped up 5-6 year old little girls who have just been fed cookies, juice, and candy. Nuff said. Lord - I am tired.

I have been messing with my page all night. Still can't get some of the lines straight. But -I have a Guestbook. START posting! Pretty please? I will attempt to work on my page tomorrow, hopefully when my eyes aren't drooping. I have a Daisy Scout holiday party to attend by 3PM. I also need to whip up a few dozen chocolate chip cookies and maybe make some chocolates too. Have been watching FoxNews all day and night. I have decided that Brit Hume looks like a Bassett Hound and I REALLY like Donald Rumsfeld. There's a special something about him.... perhaps the way he can make a reporter speechless in a matter of 3.2 seconds after asking some assinine question. My father in law has that same talent and I thoroughly enjoy watching him use this talent on really stupid people.
