Rubber Chicken Santa And A Tree Will be Gone By April Fool's Day

Can I just blame the time change for having a Christmas tree still up in the living room and Rubber Chicken Santa on top of the TV? Pleeeease. I need to blame something or somebody besides myself. I just can't keep beating myself up about this. I'll just tell myself it's festive, everybody should have a festive home...right? And who wouldn't enjoy a Rubber Chicken Santa all year long????

I really wanted to have the Christmas decorations and tree down by Ash Wednesday but that just didn't happen. I have a new deadline now, April Fool's Day. I think that's a reasonable goal. See, that's what I'm learning, set reasonable goals unlike my unrealistic tree-taking-down deadline of Ash Wednesday! What was I thinking? HA! Well, at least I've taken care of a few other things like work, freelance projects, kids, parent teacher conferences, dinner making, grocery shopping, advising, listening, chauffeuring, and writing a daily blog.
