Year’s theme: Momentum
Now perched on couch when ball dropped
My slothful year-end

The kids perch like birds
On shredded wrapping paper
Planning their next move

I shopped with my dad
One of the best traditions
Closed out night with friends

A relaxed dinner
We chatted then attacked gifts
Did dishes at night

I am in lock-up
The to-dos are my master
Waiting for parole

Judgments have no place
In the holiday kitchen

Crunch Time

Posted on October 30, 2008 by | Comments Off on Crunch Time

It’s the end of October and we will soon be overwhelmed. Here’s how it stacks up:

October 31st – Halloween
November 5th – Owen’s birthday
November 8th – Owen’s friend’s party
November 10th – Ariel’s 17th birthday
November 16th? – Combined family birthday party
November 20th – Wedding Anniversary
November 27th – Thanksgiving
December 1st – Alex’s birthday
December 6th? – Alex’s friend’s party
December 21st-28th – Hanukkah
December 25th – Christmas
December 31st – New Year’s – last event!

There will be a Holiday Program, other holiday parties (Mark’s), school visits (on the quest for the perfect 1st-grade spot for Alex), cookie-making day, tree decorating, and shopping.

I guess we can take a break in 2009.
