Tomorrow is December. I'm ready to buy a tree and break out the decorations. I've been debating whether I should wait for Nathan to come home for this grand event, or just take care of it myself. The truth is, while he enjoys the decorations once they're up, he doesn't like the process-- the hauling out boxes and moving stuff around. However, I don't think I want to have to shop for, haul, saw and put up the tree alone. Wednesday isn't that far away. Maybe I'll look for our advent calendars and leave the rest until he gets here.
Today I'm grateful to be feeling a little better. My cold turned into a sinus infection, and I haven't felt like doing much all weekend. Yesterday I went to the clinic and got a prescription. We stayed home from church because I'm sick, Josie's sick, and now Ethan is coughing. I figured the branch didn't want to catch our colds.
I rented a pile of movies for my kids this weekend, so they would feel like it was a holiday instead of just a really long weekend. They are watching a Christmas movie right now. I just want to be well, so I can enjoy all the preparations for Christmas-- making candy, wrapping gifts, planning my branch Christmas party (in a week and a half), finishing up our shopping. This year, I'm ready for the holiday cheer. I need it.
BUT, WAIT!

I love putting up the tree, but I too hate getting all the stuff out. I seriously have to breathe deeply so I don't have a panic attack until after we're finished decorating and the boxes are all put away again.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand clutter of any kind, and even for those couple of hours while my house in in shambles, I go a little nuts. Can you say OCD?
I'm glad you're starting to feel better. I feel like I might be coming down with something, and it's no good!
I am soooo glad you found me! I have also been neglecting my blog. How old is Josie exactly? My baby Branson just turned one on November 5th...they have got to be pretty close in age. I am so excited to add your blog to my list!
ReplyDeletetharker- you wouldn't last two seconds in my house. I simply cannot keep it uncluttered and clean, much as I try!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I'm glad we're back in touch. Josie turned 1 in June.
