I am tired and not even begun the holiday season

I am soooooo tired. I went and tried to do the rest of my shopping today. Got my running shorts on , my running shoes, went to the bank, and had a full tank of gas. The kids were in school so this was the day to try and finish it up. Well lets just say after 1 cup of espresso coffee and a starbucks gingerbread latte I was ready. I drove into the Walmart parking lot and I think there were people who had the same thing on their mind. The lot was crowded. I was determined to get it done. I got the cart and went to the toy section. Big mistake. When did they make the aisles smaller. Anyhow I think I got most what I needed. Total =$400. But still not done. Okay I got a lot of stuff but you just dont realize the stuff you put into the cart is going to end up being that much. Anyhow I was famished since all I had was amounting to about 4 cups of coffee. I ordered a grilled chicken ceasar salad and some buffalo hot wings from THE SHACK on my cell phone while in line to check out at Walmart. I started sweating because it was hot and I was hungry. Gee I never felt like this hungry before. Anyhow I get my lunch and start driving home...so I eat while I am driving. Then it hit me ..what if I start gagging on this food while I am driving? Who will help me. No one thats who. I go home.. 1 hour and 1/2 until I have to pick up the kids. I got time to eat. I eat and finish. Pick up the kids from school. Get them home and get the home work done and then I cant keep my eyes open. I crashed Big Time. I told them I had to lay down. I slept like 2 hours. I was exhausted. Did the shopping actually do me in? Was it the coffee. I felt like I crashed and burned. And to think I used to do all this and work 12-16 hours a day 6 months ago. I have to still wrap 4 Christmas gift the kids are giving to the homeless kids their school sponsers. I have to help A with her cookie marketing project for school that is due tomorrow. I have to help A wrap her box for school. She has no idea what this is for but the teacher wants it done. Then my daughter told me she volunteered me to make chili on Friday for their school potluck. I am beat and the season didnt even start for me yet. Why is it this way every year? When does my husband do his part? I want to go away for a while and have some elves do my Christmas stuff. Bah Humbug.
