Merry Whatchamacallit?

Happy Holidays everyone, whatever that might mean to you each indivividually. This is just a quick note while the relatives have gone out and left me home alone with 3 children and a toddler in a pear tree. My older sisters and their boyfriends are visiting us for two weeks and I'm having a great time. So far I haven't gone to bed before 5 a.m. and I predict the rest of the week will be more of the same.

I got lots of lovely presents, although I'm slightly saddened by the fact that I'm starting to enjoy getting clothes as gifts. I remember a time when clothes presents were immediately shoved aside with a shout of "Next!" I do hope I'm not *gulp*, "getting old."

The last couple of days before my sisters got here, my mother was going madtrying to pain t the house inside and out, cook, clean the floors, shine the windows, wash the laundry, etc, etc. I was supposed to help her, and for the most part I did, But my muse decided to interrupt me in her usual fashion. Or maybe that was my sloth? Anyhow, I'll leave you with this little tidbit:

Wasting Time
Write emails and a blog,
Water dead plants, walk the dog.
Write some poetry, prose or rhyme?
I think rhyme will be,
The greater waste of time.

Lol, oops, Rachel I've been by Volatile Intellect before, but have always been too lazy to leave a comment. Guess that makes me the evil one...

Happy new year to you too Edfred!
