christmas eve eve and all thru the house...

the week before Christmas...
not a cookie's been baked

but lee miller's service
finally remedied that

the birthday has happened
tomorrow's the day

even though her favorite cookies weren't ready
for her very first Christmas ever
that she'll be away

but that's nothing compared to the boys forgetting
my mom
after their annual strip shopping trip spree!?!?

and we still don't have the first sign of a tree

it's different this year
than in any of the past

everything seems to be happening way too fast

but the dinners have been wonderful
and visitors have come and lingered and gone

and even though I feel like
not everything will ever get done
I know what's important
and we are having such fun

the jingle and jangle of the busyness is clear around here
with journals
and presents
and wrapping
and napping

and as off to bed again late in the night
I notice the tree
and the snow on the ground
and just know everthing will of course be...alright
