I don't want to be a Bah Humbuger, but...

Gimme a break! I don't know how much more I can take before my normal "Christmas Elf on Crack" self breaks for good. I have always been "THAT" person at Christmas...the one who starts doing the countdown on Dec. 1, the one who will call you up on the 20th and tell you it's Chrsitmas, EVE, EVE, EVE, EVE. The one who had to have all sorts of Christmasy, Holiday shirts (and makes her kids wear them too, but hey right now they enjoy it, so it's not really "Making" them...yet), and earrings and Santa Hats. It wouldn't be surprising to catch me in "The bad place" with a Santa Hat on. I am the one playing the ALL Holiday music channel in the car, the one leaving the Merry Christmas message on my voicemail Dec 1 etc. You can get the picture...as I said before Christmas Elf on Crack" no exaggeration.

Well, something is trying to pull me down, the "Bah Humbug" forces taht be are trying their damndest to squash my Christmas Spirit. I will be totally honest that they have managed to win a little bit of the battle too. I even blogged about it earlier this month, having a hard time getting "in the spirit" OMG, what??? Me??? NO WAY! How could that be?

2 years in a row Christmas has been difficult (to say the least) due to, for the most part, sickness. Yesterday we missed our first family Christmas party (the same one I cussed people out at last year) because I was in the bed all day with some sort of fluish 12 hour sickness. I totally quarentined my whole family and wouldn't let them go to the party either (even though they were all 100% healthy at the time). So, at least I know for now that if anyone else (outside my household) gets this it wasn't because of me. Unlike last year when we single handedly managed to infect 50% of the county with the puking/crapping death for Christmas/New Years.

As of today I feel 95%, I am a little "weak" feeling from the fever and stuff yesterday, but other than that I am on the road to recovery. For now all the kids and David are ok...will they get it? I really hope not, but who knows? I will just be thankful it seems to be a pretty quick (12 hour) thing and not many other symptoms other than the fever, chills and body aches.

I really don't want to become a Bah Humbuger, but I really need to catch a freakin' break already SERIOUSLY!
