Elf Union Blues

Well I know I said I was going to have up pictures of 5 gifts for you. I meant it when I said it, but the elves have different ideas. Seems there was the Santa gig at the Humane shelter, then the science project that was due today, the english essay, the meetings with the restaurant owner and scale issues. So I am running a bit behind. The kiln is at 400 degrees, and might be cool by 8 pm to unload. The 15 year old is stressed out that no one will “want his gift” (where does this insecurity come from? I swear it must be teenage angst.) So I may actually get them up by midnight tonight, does that count?

I am going to give it my best, but if they don’t get up today, it will be tomorrow . I keep repeating “it’s the thought that counts!” because my punctual little soul is cringing at being late. ( I should know when I include my kids in things, deadlines never work, not one of them was born when they were suppose to and it seems to be a life long trend. )

Good news However! I got the restaurant contract ! WHOO -HOO!

So come back in the morning! Pretty please!

This elf is going to get a latte and 2 aspirin and go right back to work!

    Yes, it’s teenage angst and it’s a required rite of passage. :)

    Relax! We’ll all be here when you get finished. And I LOOOVED the volunteer story! That was so nice of both of you helping out like that.

    I’d like to find (or create) a service project that me and my children could enjoy.

    More things to think about after Friday at 3pm (end of last final).

    Ok, off I go just had to stop and tell ya, relaaaax. Have a seat (umm just clear off the chair first) and enjoy a cup of tea in that kitchen while you enjoy the view. :)

    I’ll be sending you a toast the next time I sit down to do the same myself!

    Great news on the contract. :-) I can only imagine how hard it was to sell yourself and your product. I think it self itself, but I know it is my opinion only.
