Family Stress...Again...

Hi there.

Just a quick note to say how much I love that glass! Sounds like you had a relaxing evening, as did I. J wasn't home until 10 and JJ was out playing since it's late start Wednesday tomorrow, so I had some Me time. I spent it writing cards and shopping on line, but I really wish I had plunked down on the couch with a blanket and watched tv. I did catch a Christmas movie with JJ before he went to bed, which was nice.

My plan is to finish all of my shopping tomorrow and be done with it. Then I have nothing left to do, really. The cards are done and will go in the mail in the morning and the gifts that I've already purchased are all wrapped. Yahoo!

Now I'm stressing over a request from my Bro to babysit on Friday night. The thing is, every part of me wants to say "Are you kidding?" After inviting your friends for dinner and asking for wine, and sleeping through Thanksgiving and not helping and not contributing and not showing up to the 12 Drinks and not even RSVPing to let the hostesses know? Now you need me for something? Seriously?

And then that little tiny do-the-right-thing part of me thinks, well, they have no money, they could probably use a night out and can't afford a sitter, it's Christmas and all...

...but then I'm supposed to go to this Girl's Night anyway, which I'm thinking of bagging since it would be one night we'd have this week without something one of us has to go to....

ARGH!!!!

I'm going to bed. Sleep won't solve my problem but at least I'll stop thinking about it for a few hours.

Love you!
A
