Just keeping it real…

Here is a quick rundown of my accomplishments today:

Made numerous trips up and down the stairs to get the scotch tape…because I was trying to use it in the kitchen to tape up pictures from Christmas cards and in the basement to wrap presents…so it was NEVER on the same floor where I needed it…EVER….

Spent quite a bit of time trying to locate two quite important little gifts that need some painting … to no avail…

And in the process of the hunt, found three gifts I had totally forgotten about.

Couldn’t figure who one of them was for…until Russ came home. We puzzled it together and then finally realized we had bought it for …. me….

Finally got the dining room table cleared because I finished the Christmas cards, and realized I managed to order 25 too many pictures, had one more card than envelopes and bought enough gingerbread house stamps to last us through March….

In the midst of all that really has to be done to finish up food prep, present wrapping, and still need to tie evergreens to the lights outside…I decided to deal with the large table of photographs and memorabilia from 30 years of our life, my parents, my aunt, and Russ’s parents….

This involved cleaning out the bottom of one of the bedroom closets, which turned up enough yarn to knit hats for a small army…

I am glad I have to go to work tomorrow. I don’t think I have the energy to stay home…

Hope your enjoying the hubbub we create in this thing called “the holidays”

Smile. Laugh. Breathe.

Be blessed in all you do <3
