I don't know what that song was all about, I'm living proof that big girls do cry. Last week I gave in to the constant cloud of feeling overwhelmed that hangs over me and had a good sob. Unfortunately, it was in a meeting with my boss. She was chastizing me for procrastinating (which admittedly is my biggest fault). But I have way too many projects I'm supposed to be working on and didn't feel like the one I got reamed for was that high on the priority list. Anyway, I generally take "constructive criticism" just fine, but for some reason she brought my family up and I lost it. Way to prove that a chaotic home life doesn't affect your job, right? But some good came out of it - I got permission to work from home for an hour a day (for the next 3 months anyway). I'm pretty confident that if I hadn't lost it, she wouldn't have been so generous:)
We decorated for Christmas this weekend. It was the first year Ben has cared, and it was fun to watch him put ornaments on the tree, albeit not in a evenly distributed pattern. Tonight, we trimmed the tree in Ben's room and he proceeded to unwrap all of the present ornaments. I may have to wait until Christmas Eve to put any real presents under the tree!
Ben's quote of the day: (Ben came up on me suddenly and I jumped.) Did you think I was a monster?
