I am having a BIG problem this morning. I am SO stressed out I feel like I can barely move! Litterally, I go to work on one thing, and I decide that I can't do it, so I start working on somthing else instead. I haven't gotten anything done. I need to go on a walk or somehting.
This is where you ask:
"Kara! What is stressing you out? "
I respond, quite simply. Christmas!
Work has me traveling everyother weeks. SO I have HALF the time to get all this done. In other words, in my life it is December 14th, and I haven't even started.

a. 1 husband

Sigh. I want to do them all. But for somereason I am really letting it get to my head today. Why is that?
How does a normal person do it all? I mean, people do it every year right? How do they do it????
Does it just feel harder beucase I work full time? That would make me feel better about myself.
I will refer you to my previous post.

On the other hand, I know exactly how you feel when it comes to the Christmas shopping. Well, sort of. I have a shorter list of siblings, but the same stress of "what on EARTH do I get for that person??"
Also, Christmas cards. Yikes. I keep forgetting about those little guys :(
However, decorating the house is probably my favorite thing to do EVER for Christmas. I am DYING to get out my decorations RIGHT NOW, but I am forcing myself to wait until after Thanksgiving.
What decorations do you have? I got mine out and it was patheitc. I had them all out in LITTERALLY five mins.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
I was REALLY excited about lights.... but I only have 5 strands! I guess I needs to suck it up and go buy some more....
Well, I have garland that I made for the fireplace mantle, and stockings and stocking holders, and a wreath that I made for the front door, and we will put up the tree after Thanksgiving, and the tree skirt that goes with it, and lights for everywhere. Also some miniature Christmas trees for like the bathroom, and then some Jim Shore Santas (my mother-in-law buys one for us every year) and then a Department 56 Christmas village that Chris puts up (that's kind of "his" decoration). I will make a new post with decoration instructions.
