Off Task

I'm supposed to be prepping for Bethel's basketball game vs. North Central on Wednesday but I can't concentrate on it.

I've created somewhat of a template for getting ready for games but it's still not making it go any faster because Bethel's new new athletics website that isn't completely loaded with all of the history that's needed and because North Central's athletics website is terrible. Now St. Thomas' athletics website is much better, maybe I should have gone there.

Ok, so I've had today off. I got some things done this morning/afternoon but I started prepping for the Bethel game again and all I saw was dust. Dust dust dust. Got it? I think it's one of my pet peeves. I can't stand it. I have too much clutter and junk around my desk and this 25 square foot apartment that I need a bigger space to spread out the junk, and the dust. Nothing is easy to clean so as I sat here in front of my computer with the sun shining on my desk, all I could see was dust. And it annoyed me. I cleaned it. And earlier today I vacuumed the place. Again though, there's junk all over and you can't move that monstrous vacuum around easy enough.

I want to come home for Christmas. I want to quit so bad, just because I want to be home for Christmas.

I want to hang out with E3 alot as well as M3 (?). I think I'm calling her Maya. Ok Meg? :)

Anyway, I want to be home and come with Katy and sit at the table with everyone and eat fruit soup and that egg and bread bake, Mom puts together.

I want to test my patience on how long I can wait to open presents. I want to see people's reactions to what I got them. It's priceless. I want to steal one of Dad's cordial cherries, look at the clock and see 10:33 am. I want to see if Megan is as crabby as Emily was last year when she was prego. I want to SEE it; not HEAR about it.

I just want to be together for Christmas.

Time to go...prep for Bethel's game and wait for Nick to call. I'm supposed to help him move in.

I think you should tell them you HAVE to have Christmas off at some point. What will they do fire you? I think meg will not be as crabby as I was...but she was also not as far along and perhaps not as hormonally imbalanced. It would be wonderful to have you come home! Do you want us all to help pay for your ticket?

I also hate the sun shining on all the stuff I need to clean!

That would be awesome if you were to make it for Christmas. I hope that you are to make it work...I would like to sit next to you and watch football and the many other fun exciting things we could do. I just want you to be home as well...how can we make it happen??? Let us know.

This really is eric.

Yeah Joel you should come home. I mean really. Christmas is a family holiday. And I am crabby, but I think mostly to Mark. Also Em, if you were farther along you should have been used to the hormones! Sorry. Too bad I don't find out the gender until Jan 3rd. Also, why Maya??? I want Myla for a girl. :)
