Penguins

I was so busy last week that I wrote a post and forgot to post it - derrrrrrrr

Anyway here it is, better late than never....

Things are getting pretty hectic around here but I am staying calm under pressure.  Actually I am quite pleased with myself I’ve done all the wrapping and delivered all the cards.  I wrote a list of all the food I need to buy and all the baking etc that I need to do on Saturday. I even made a list of jobs that need doing around the house before the big jolly man in the bright red suit heads this way.  I think they should ban working on the week before Christmas. I have so much to do and so many lunches/dinners/drinks after work to attend that I just haven’t got time to squeeze in 40 hours in the office.

In my ideal world I would only work in Spring and Autumn.  That way I could spend lazy days out in the garden all summer and hibernate in the winter.  I would be so happy if I didn’t have to step foot out of the door for the next month.  I would stay all cosy inside, crafting, baking and admiring the pretty twinkling Christmas lights.

The kids made me laugh yesterday.  I came downstairs to find them giggling on the sofa

Me – What are you all laughing at?

JB – We are watching Home Alone 2

Me – Why are you all squashed up on one settee?

JB – We are keeping warm like penguins

I know it sounds like they are little tots but they are actually 18, 17, and 15. (The 17 year old doesn’t belong to me BTW)  They used to love the Home Alone films when they were little and watching it again made them all giddy for Christmas!

I love the idea of only working in Spring and Autumn. That would suit me very well. Hope you have a great Christmas and very happy New Year.
