The Beginning of the Madness

While the majority of America has recovered from the Holiday blitz, our family is just gearing up for our craziness.  The beginning of February marks the start of the craziest time of year for the Isip clan.  For some reason this year, it's already starting out with IOUs.  It probably has always been this way, but sadly I've really begun to notice it.  I know deep down that it's not that big of a deal.  A present is a present and it's the "thought that counts" and all, but I can't help but feel bad about it.  I so want to be the one to "get it right" all the time.
