FFS Friday - Cherry on Top

Hello beautiful people. How are you all? I am tired. Tired, drained, mentally and emotionally exhausted.
I've decided that Christmas sucks. It's just way too much hard work. All done by the women. Whilst the men sit around happily doing nothing, the women are left to organize everything. We organize the presents, the school events, the secret santa gifts, the teacher gifts, the Christmas lunch/dinner, elf on the shelf and everything else that goes along with Christmas. It's so much hard work and I'm just not here for it.  Last Sunday we went to a Christmas event for the kids. I had to buy a gift for both of the boys so they could get a present from Santa. When we were waiting for Santa to arrive hubby asked me if the boys were getting a gift. I told him they were and he asked me how much I had paid them for the gift. I told him that I'd bought the present, wrapped it and given it to the staff (whilst he was standing right next to me). He'd been oblivious to it all. I'd emailed to say that we would attend the event, I'd sent back the registration form, put it on the calendar and made sure we were all there on time.
 If I did nothing, there would be no Christmas. No events, no meal, no guests, nothing at all. 
As if all the organising wasn't stressful enough, school has upped the ante this year. Chai has had three excursions in the past two weeks. Next week (the last week of school), they've pulled out all the stops. Chai has his grade six graduation plus a birthday party. Eljay has two fun play days where he has to wear bathers, take a change of clothes, give a secret santa gift to another student and take dishwashing liquid for a slip and slide. 
This weekend we have to find a birthday present for the party Chai's going to, get the secret santa gift for Eljay and make gifts for seven teaching staff.
Added to all that I'm working every day next week and stupidly agreed to go in the work secret santa thing so I have to bring a gift for a colleague two days next week. 
Did I mention that my car isn't running at the moment? Thursday it started making a really awful noise which turned out to the the brakes. Tiger is a mechanic so started fixing it on Friday, but as it's VW it's not as simple as that so what would normally be a quick job has turned into a huge deal. Poor Tiger. I will never again buy a european car. They're way too expensive and complicated to fix. Having said that, it was Tiger would bought this car, I would have happily stuck with my Commodore. 
I'm also in the midst of organising for next year. I have to sort out the boys uniforms and books, figure out Chai's therapy schedule and work out how I'm going to manage to be in two places at the same time Monday to Friday next year. 
I need a rest!
I hope you are all surviving the silly season with a little sanity in tact. Have a wonderful weekend beautiful people and always remember you are perfect exactly as you are and your presence is a gift to the world.
