my husband would clean the house for me

starting another boring day.

if I didn't have to work, I would have plenty of time

too many gifts to finish and wrap.

sitting in the theatre awaiting dixie bee liners

almost ready to drive to the husband's show

forcing herself to listen to Christmas music

when you stop at a redlight, it rolls forward. Knocking your car out of gear, breaking your rearview mirror, and smashing your stereo

there is a reason you should not place a spare tire in a hatchback standing upright

has been acosted by a tire. It wasn't pretty.
