Okay - so, I understand that it is Christmas. But, last week, my Mom volunteered me to perform at some hoi-paloi party tomorrow. "All the important people will be there, and I want you to met them, so I told them you would perform."
I've been scrambling to pull Christmas together. (Was up until 3:00 AM.) So, needless to say, I haven't worked on the piece. We had lovely Christmas this morning. Fed a delightful brunch to my parents. Every thing is fantastic! I'm just cleaning up and getting ready for dinner, when the hostess calls. She tells me that my mother said I was going to do something different than what I told my mother I would do. I gently corrected her and gave her the pitch for what I was going to do. She loves it. She wants me to email it to her within an hour. But, it isn't ready yet. I know I can pull it together in an hour.
So, I announce that I've got to get this thing done to my family. And they respond by making sure to come in the kitchen every 5 minutes to share something with me. They visit more frequently and stay longer, if they hear me typing fast.
So, I told them all that if they wanted my attention they would have to get out. Because at this rate, it would take 3 hours - not one - to finish. They're all a bit sulky now. AIBU?
