WHY?

Why does December always have to feel like this... so much to do, so little time... I thought I was doing so well considering I had bought my first Christmas present way back in September, but just making a list of all the stuff I have to finish is overwhelming... and all for what? So we can "sit back and relax" and enjoy the Christmas festivities over three days??! Unfortunately those days never seem so relaxing for us. I just don't know what to cut from the list and I'm not sure if there's much I want to cut from the list... it's all fun or for fun things.

I find it especially difficult because the people that seem to suffer the most with my busyness, even though most of it is for them, is my family, Brad and our kids... they go to bed later than normal, eat a little more "convenience" food, and watch more TV... just a second, that doesn't sound much like "suffering" does it? Well, my mommy guilt tells me differently.

As funny as it sounds, I'm actually looking forward to my surgery and having NOTHING to do afterwards but rest and recover... it'll be a nice break, and once I'm off of painkillers I should be able to spend some quality time with my kiddies and Brad... so looking forward to that.f

Anyway, enough procrastinating, off to tackle the dreaded list.
