christmas is kicking my butt.

i've been putting lights on our christmas tree. (i know, i know it's christmas eve, but my mom's had work all week and she's the motivating force behind getting that thing up and decorated. i know how to do it, and this year i pretty much am doing it by myself, but that doesn't mean it occurs to me that, hey, i could find all the boxes and start on the tree by myself. *exhasperated w/ self*) in fact, i've been putting lights on that tree since about 4 this afternoon, and i'm not done yet. y'know why? cause i have the gayest christmas tree EVAHR, that's why. *smirk*
dead serious, this tree has branches growing backwards, sideways, in curves, and there's even one that curls in on itself. this tree is not straight by any definition of the word. and it doesn't help that i had to keep stopping to check each string of lights before i put it on. which i didn't remember to do until i already had the first two strings wrapped around that bugger. believe you me, standing there with sap all over my hands and a screwdriver in my mouth, trying not to drop those annoyingly tiny fuses- it's fun in a very, very sadistic kinda way.
but i'm almostready to quit done with the lights, and then jess is doing the beads while i wrap presents, and then i'm doing ornaments, icicles, and tinsel. (i wanted to see if we still had our tree candles from germany, but at this point... no. just no.) mom is cooking, jess is wrapping, and the boys are being lazy annoying arses sitting by the fire and doing nothing. *glares*
i haven't got my mom or dad a gift, and my mom's birthday is in two days so that doesn't help anything. there are a couple things i know she wants, i just haven't got them. mostly i just suck as a daughter. *mopes*
it doesn't help that i've somehow misplaced my wallet. last time i used it was to buy sonic with caitlin thursday (was it wednesday?) night, and i haven't left the house since. but it's definitely not in my bag anymore. so: no license, no insurance, no cougar card, no debit card, no cash (except for the money i got from my dad's wallet to go shopping yesterday). i've got church tonight at midnight, after which i need to stop by cait's house to play with the ratties since she's out of town. (praying very hard that bara doesn't have her litter before cait gets back!!!!) and the snakes need to be fed soon, i believe- saber does anyway, and cryssie too, i think. bri's done the feeding for today, but i'm pretty sure i'm gonna be out of town tomorrow and the day after- what shall we do?!
in short, life's just a mess right now. -___-
