My Brain is on Christmas Overload

you wouldn't want to be in my head

during the holidays

it's on overload

I have a million things I want to get done

and not enough time to do it all

I put up all my decorations and then spend the next three weeks rearranging everything

and don't even get me started on Christmas lights

I loathe putting up Christmas lights

but I love the way they look at night

so the more the merrier

I have to go to confession for all the cussing I did

while putting up the lights

it's 80 degrees in Arizona

and I really want to be wearing sweaters and leggings

not a t shirt and flip flops

I bought the little deer at an estate sale this past spring for 3 dollars

when I went to pay for it all I had was a

hundred dollar bill

the lady taking my money was totally irritated at this

and told me she couldn't sell it to me

(and if my sister is reading this, yes, I remained calm, even though

I was throwing darts at her with my eyes)

so I kindly asked her if she would hold it for me

while I went outside to my vehicle and

search for some loose change

I said a quick prayer to St. Anthony

not only did I find the three dollars I needed to buy the little deer that

the irritated woman was holding for me

I found three more dollars

it pays to pray

so today I was all set to spray the little deer with glue and glitter

to put in a jar with a tree

and when I looked at him

I just couldn't do it

so now he sits on my jewelry box

where he was meant to be for the holidays

unless of course,

I move him
