Best Part of the Day-
Will-O and I had a good talk earlier in the day.  Very civil and mature.  So when he stated he wanted to watch a movie with me this eve, I bribed, "If you help me do all of the nightly chores...". So after kids' hygiene, jammies, books (which usually completes his end), we did toy pick-up, dishes, counter clean-up (he doesn't know to do that), vacuuming, floor cleaning, hats/mittens/boots pick-up, laundry in/out and newly laundered jazz put away.  Then onto bill paying, thank you card stuff, gift wrapping and sitter securing.  Whew.  After this (which is standard ops on a nightly basis) he declared he was too sleepy to watch a movie.  But it was all done--in less than half the time it would take for me to do solo.  That's what I'm talking about. 

Worst Part of the Day-
A ton of peeps out on the snowy streets today made every move slow joe.  I made my quarterly appearance at a mall and it was a bit crazed.  (Fleeting, yet recurring thoughts:  billions of crapola no one needs--landfill, materialism, landfill....) 
I can't believe Christmas Eve is tomorrow!!  Would Christ be pleased with any of this???  (I think He might be opposed to the necessity Steve and Barry's--soooo many sweatshirts...)
