Always look on the bright side of life....

I have tons of crap to cook, a house to clean, walls to paint, homework to complete, two finals to study for, a sick kid to take to the doctor, a yard to mow, a car that is going to cost me $1500 to fix, and papers to grade.

Have you ever wished you were like that Jeanie girl? Just flip your ponytail and things happen? Or Samantha on Bewitched....twitch your nose and voila! All is well. At this point I'd even settle for a fairy godmother. She may be an extra mouth to feed, but at least she could get crap done!

I have decided that I will try my best to enjoy the holiday and all the stress that comes with it. Stress is one of the things that reminds us we are alive, right? I think I may put my doctor on speed dial just in case though, so I can get some Valium if necessary.

I hope all of you and yours have a very happy holiday...even if you are European and don't get the day off. Take some time to remember the things you are thankful for.
