Merry Christmas to All

Christmas Eve

I am in denial that it is Christmas Eve already.  I guess I am ready (doesn't really matter if I'm not because it is coming and I can't stop it!). . .the trees are up (no real tree this year  :(! ), presents are bought and wrapped (most of them anyway),  Christmas cards are almost finished (I know, I know) food will be ready after I get off of the computer and get it started, all Christmas parties attended and enjoyed, Christmas on the W side of the family done, and Christmas with Dad, sisters, b-i-l and the kiddos done!  Today will include Christmas on the P side of  the family today and with the in-laws on New Years.  Like I said. . . .it is coming like it or not!
I finished school on Tuesday of this week and I do not have to go back until January 10th.  I am so excited about the long break.  I will be able to get caught up on school work, house work, sleep and I will be able to get ahead with lesson plans (at least that is my plan).
Well, I had better get off this computer and get some work done so we can eat!!

Merry Christmas Eve to you all (I do hope there are at least one or two people who stop by even though I don't blog as often as I would like to!). 

Weather. . . . .or Not!

It finally feels like we are heading toward the holidays weather wise.  We are having a beautifully cloudy, rainy, cold day today.  I hope it is going to help push me into the holiday spirit.  This month is so overwhelming to me.  I have so much I need/want to do and no time to do it.  Add to it the fact that I miss my Mom during this time of the year (she loved this time of the year) and that we are quickly approaching the "birthday" of Baby Giggles who would be 4 years old.  Sometimes I can picture myself with a four year old but most of the times I can't.  I wish it were something that I didn't have to picture but were actually experiencing.

What are you wanting for Christmas this year?  I have no idea what to ask for but I have got to come up with a list for Mr. Giggles and my family.  Any suggestions?

December. . . . . .already?

So much to do. . . . . . . .so little time!  You probably won't hear much from me until after December 20th.  I have way to much to do with grading papers, Christmas shopping, host a Ladies Christmas party at my Dad's house, preparing for a Christmas program at school, shopping, cleaning house, and the list just goes on and on.  I am still not in the holiday spirit but I am enjoying the Christmas music I have been listening to on Pandora.Well, I had better go for now.  Gotta hit the sack so I can get to work on my to do list tomorrow!!

Hope you're having a good week.
