Holidays are like road trips. We watch the scenery along the way, getting more excited as we get closer. It seems to take forever to get there. Then again they come too soon or not soon enough for parents. Did we plan ahead or has all the fun slipped by us when we were too busy?
Don't give up, hang in there & you'll be out of the woods soon. Simplify is what you need now. Buy the treats instead of making them. Forget the costume, that frown will do just fine. Bale on carving & use markers instead. No pumpkins or candy in the house, go visit grandma. She'll be delighted.
Many a year I was up to my ears in pumpkin slime as the doorbell began to ring with the first kids & the dinner burned. More than a few choice words slipped out, that I regretted later. The weather seldom cooperated so winter coats were cramed over their unseen costumes. Spilled candy, crying kids, crappy treats & cranky attitudes have all been forgotten, as the good times we had fill the mind.
