Crazy - I feel for you and just reading your post is bringing back bad dreams! I was dumb enough to pick a private school using the pass or fail theory rather than the percentage scale most univ use. So if you can imagine not only were the exams around the holidays you also had the added stress of failing becasue you got one simple question wrong. Try to put things on the positive side (1) typically there are more deep discounts in the stores the week before Chrsitmas, (2) you will not have time to worry about 'is it the right gift' and finally (3) school does not last forever.

It's really Friday .... really
We just realized that we shorted 2 VIP's on Christmas gifts ... oops! :eek: So I am off to find the perfect gift for both and once again wrap, pack and ship. We have promised each other this is the last one! So before I head out does anyone have any suggestions for that couple that has everything?

Is it really friday or just another pretend one? Hey, GaMom, I flew out of Atlanta this evening. Sadly there were about 5,000 other "passengers" who were not sure if they were ever going to fly out.
Oh no, Shawn... It's :eek: :eek:

I finally feel like I'm getting out from under the holiday rush...at school. We started in November with Polar Express Dinner and a Movie (yes we had a license) for 220, then the holiday craft night for 200 and the Jingle Bell Jog for 120ish today. Not to mention the Sales shoppe that had 6k in sales in 3 after school sales events.
Now I only have 88 letters to Santa that need answering and then I can shop for my children... woo hoo....Hang in there--wrapped or not...they're your presents...so make what you give count...d
