Does anyone else feel like a kid waiting for Christmas vacation ... I am at work and I can hardly concentrate... and it isnt helping with all the junk food, candy, and cookies here. I wish I could leave just to get away from it all...

Sigh -- I know Im whining, but this day just seems to be going soooo slow...

    Today is slow as HELL. This is my last day in the office until Tuesday. I'm 'working from home' tomorrow, but it will be so dead that it's practically a day off.

    I WANT MY CHRISTMAS VACATION TO START!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Haha, I've been ill all week and been kind of really annoyed by missing out on the nice Christmas spirit in the office, but now I am thankful instead - no sweets and cookies for me all week :)

    longest. day. evar.

    Really though, it's like the clock stopped sometime around 9:40 this morning, and didn't get started again until about 2 minutes ago.

    But you know those hard-to-come-by few days off are going to fly....I mean, when i wake up, it'll already by lunchtime, then when I get done, it'll be 4:00pm. Every day. Until the first day back at work arrives.

    Wishing my life away!!! :D

    Well Im glad I am not the only one who feels this way.
    Im excited for the days off ... but it wont be enough I think. I lose my weekend because of Christmas, and back to work on Monday. I am on call tomorrow, but can work from home... so blink and I will have to be back at work.

    One sad thought though as I was walking in ... I realized that the next time I walk in ... its all going to be over!

    I'm glad to be spending time with my family - some of whom I haven't seen since last year but I kind of wish it was over with. I'm such a creature of habit and the change in my routine is tough. Plus its my Christmas tradition to bake cookies & give cookie boxes to everyone for christmas. Something I truly love to do (especially since I've lost weight - baking used to be a weekly thing, not its only at Christmas & a couple other holidays) BUT right now I've got about 300 cookies in my house and I have got such a sweet tooth - its really making me crazy. I've done okay so far but can't wait to distribute them.

    That was me today - I felt like I wanted to hang myself. I am proud of myself for having the self-discipline and control to stay away from the sweets and munch on the veggie trays!!! (Patting myself on the back right now) :love:

    Yeah for you! Self control is a very powerful thing and I am very proud of you!

    I on the other hand... did ok! I took a piece of carrot cake and put it on the top of my bookcase so it was out of sight. By the end of the day I had 2 bites and threw the rest out!
