i whined my way through the begining of December searching for the *perfect* Christmas quilt for moi. nothing satisfied me(like that's a surprise rofl!). until i say Better Homes and Gardens *Quilts and More* magazine.
i had this finished a few days later. i ran out of time to finish off the quilting at mom's but she has promised to bring it to me finished tomorrow.
how long does it take
for a broken heart to heal? does it take longer if you have resentment and anger tossed in with it? in a blue mood tonight. i've come down with M's cold. i'm exhausted; this week took too much out of me. was hopping for a quiet day tomorrow of getting the house ready for Christmas and wrapping presents but i have discovered that not only am i out of tape but we are short one gift for B *sigh*. hopefully Jim can pick that up tomorrow and i can stay home.
so how long?? remembering holidays past isn't helping and have to admitt the anger gets stronger. ya i know-too deep of a post and too damn confusing and boring to read. what i hate the most is the anger i still feel-really surprises me too that it can just flare up inside me.

snacks
being the Martha Stewart wannabe that i am, i had the idea that for teacher gifts this year, i would make a variety of tasty goodies. the plan was solid-start baking 10days before the last day of school. make 1 goodie/day-lots of extras and selection.
fast forward to today-2 days left of school. all previously made snacks eaten. panic sets in. run to store to buy teacher gifts(gotta love the stores that mark Christmas items 50% off the week before Christmas!)
than, brainstorm. take remaining treats(sugar cookies, carmel shortbread squares(both recipes below!) chocolate balls(no, they aren't timbits lol!) and chocochip shortbread cookies) and deliver to staff room in the morning. win best student mommy of the year award lol!!
more holiday card exchange goodies
gorgeous Victorian Christmas card from StaceyM and the cute snowman card from LindaJ
boys have their Christmas concert tonight. to be perfectly honest, i am really not looking forward to going. they've made the concert cat themed and singing songs like we wish you a meowy Christmas, wreck the halls. ugh. they are even going to have their faces painted like cats and wear cat ears *sigh*
