I know that I am not alone when I say that I am super busy. This time of year is rough and tough because I tend to want to do everything. I knew that this school year was going to be extraordinarily busy. Well, if it is any consolation to you, having that prior knowledge has done nothing to alleviate any of the stress that pops up with the business of being busy.
I miss my family and friends, even the people that I work with on a daily basis. I feel like I’m captain of a ship that doesn’t get to dock very often and when I do dock, I have to leave before the party is over. I have the desire to catch up with so many different people in my life….wait, I think I want to catch up with myself first.
Woe is me.
There I said it. Woe is me. Ohhh….that felt good to type. I feel a bit better. One more time:
Woe is me. 
Cookie parties, gingerbread house making (those damn gingerbread houses, shame on you!), Kwanzaa, Christmas, Hanukkah, Bell Gath, video recording (and looking smart and fancy at the same time (why am I doing this whole National Board thing again?)), staff party, dinner with friends, HBHQ festivities, NYE…..and whatever else hits me before the end of 2008….I will survive and I will appreciate that I have such wonderful friends and family in my life. Right?
If not, I’ll think about eating crab, that always helps.
