I have been so busy with work after the long holiday that I have hardly had a second to write anything new.  

Here is my latest Philly Moms Blog post. 

"I have to admit I have been quite the slacker over the past few weeks.  But isn't that what holidays are for?  I had much needed time off for two whole weeks over the Christmas/New Year holiday.   After a hectic Christmas Eve and Christmas day running around, I did absolutely nothing.  We all had colds and sort of hibernated in the house with our boogies and coughs. 

In fact, I think I went a few days without showering and I am certain that I spent several days in my jammies ALL day.  One day, I even got up, showered and put my pjs right back on.  Because I'm a type A crazy girl most of the time, I'm now feeling a little guilty for simply being so dormant and lethargic.  What about organizing my office for the New Year?  What about the laundry overflowing in the hamper?  And did I mention that our dead Christmas tree is still up with all of the decorations on it?  Talk about guilt...

I had to go back to work on Monday and reality has kicked back in. I went from having too much time to do nothing to no time to do way to much. I really don't know when I will be able to get the Christmas boxes from the basement, wrap all of those ornaments up in tissue paper, clean up pine needles, take down the stockings, and haul the whole ordeal back down to the basement. Has anyone seen that new book: Porn for Women? 

Let's add a page...Sentimental husband smiling while gently taking the ornaments off the tree and wrapping them in acid free tissue paper. His favorite football team is on the flat screen in the background, but he's not paying any attention to the game. He then puts the perfectly wrapped trimmings into the box in their proper individual spots, hauls the Christmas tree to the woods and vacuums the entire downstairs without me asking. He then says, "Honey, I'll make you a fire right after I put all of this Christmas stuff in the basement" Just thinking about it makes me....

So if you drive by my house and see our dead Christmas tree in our front window, just call me lazy. At least you’ll know there's no porn in my house.
