Wa-Hoo! I Got It!

It finally found me...the holiday spirit is creeping up and I am borderline giddy!

We get to spend Christmas at home for once and although it does make me sad to think about not seeing our parents and the rest of the family, I am soooooo looking forward to experiencing a holiday at home -- enjoying the kids -- not rushing from here to there and spending countless hours on the road in the bitter cold.

So bring on that Christmas music and lets dig out the decorations...I'm finally ready!

Serious denial

Good Morning -- sorry to neglect my blog so much lately. I haven't been too much in the mood to babble aimlessly like I usually do! :)

On to my denial --

Lately, I've noticed the countdown to Christmas in different places -- on the news and what not. I wonder if they do that to stress us all out. I think they should just say -- "Hey, we know your lives are busy and crazy -- would you like one more thing to worry about?? You only have 38 more days to do a lot of stuff!"

I realize Christmas is extremely close and that it will be here before we know it. This time of year always flies by. That constant reminder that I'm probably not anywhere close to being done with all that needs to be accomplished is really not helpful. It gets me in my holiday panic mode sooner than I would like. Anyone with me on this one?

For now, I am not in too much of a panic. But I think it's because I'm in denial. Denial that Thanksgiving is next week already. Denial that I have Christmas cards and gifts to make. Denial that before I'm ready for it, a new year will be upon us. I'm just not feeling that holiday spirit yet. Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year, but right now, the thought of decorating, shopping, wrapping, Christmas music -- I'm not ready for any of it.

I'm just hoping that by next weekend, the excited anticipation I usually feel around the holidays strikes me. I need a little jolt to get me going -- and I don't want it to be from someone on TV telling me how little time there truly is before Christmas arrives!

And in case you think I'm forgetting what the season is really all about -- I'm not. I know all the "stuff" that makes us crazy this time of year isn't what's most important.

Alright -- I'm done rambling for today. I have two little munchkins demanding my attention.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Short and sweet -- or just plain short!

I have been a bad blogger lately -- not much to gab about I guess! So I thought I'd pop in and say a simple Good Morning and wish you a beautiful day!

I am also behind on reading blogs -- hope to visit all my blogging buddies soon!
