The Eve of Christmas Eve

What a crazy week! It all boils down to tonight...I like to have everything done by tonight so that I can enjoy Christmas Eve and Day. I don't think it's going to happen this year. Oh, I'll still enjoy it, just be a little more rushed than normal. We've been working all week, getting our fall cleaning finished and doing all the final decorating, on top of the usual laundry, dishes, laundry, toy collecting and sorting, and corraling of Our Fairy. I haven't even done the baking I really wanted to do; maybe we'll do it tomorrow. I also have to finish wrapping presents. We went up to the hospital today; they admitted my dad this morning after he went in for an MRI and ABI and almost passed out from low blood sugar(he's diabetic). His blood sugar has been at both extremes all day and they are keeping him overnight(hopefully not any longer) to monitor everything. This time last year he was in the hospital with a quad. bi-pass and so I know my sister and brother are feeling a little dejà vu (we were in El Salvador last Christmas, so this is all new to me). Anyways, this was my little minute of me-time...now back to cleaning, etc.
