Why do we always end up rushing around at the last minute to take care of those holiday details for events that last less than 24 hours? Just like at Thanksgiving when there was a packed house at the grocery store for all those things everyone forgot to get earlier. Most unfortunately for me, I had to get EVERYTHING we needed for the meal (and they were already out of so many basics, such as canned pumpkin for pie) because I wasn’t prepared at all, well, except for the turkey!
It’s not like we don’t know it’s coming or what we need to do for it. As adults, we’ve been through the holiday multiple times before, so you’d think we’d be ready ahead of time. It turned out to be a good thing that the boys were at their dad’s house last night and tonight, although I do miss them, because I still had to wrap presents (using a glue stick-I ran out of tape and forgot to get more before the store closed-Definitely no 24 hour Wal-Marts around here), pick up a few more little things as well as go get groceries for a Christmas day meal, because literally everything except the beach will be closed on our little atoll. Whew...Just two more days to go!
