So...there are 6 more days until Christmas and I have decided to not stress out anymore. Its just not worth it. Today is Saturday and I need to eliminate some of the chaos that surrounds me, my usual weekend ritual. I spend a good chunk of it cleaning and getting on that hamster wheel...it seems like I don't ever get everything done that I would like to. For example, I woke up at 5:45 this morning...mainly because I'm usually up by then during the week. So instead of being productive, I instead sat on the couch, drinking coffee and watching Plastic Surgery Disasters on E...not going to clean the house, do my laundry or get my butt on the treadmill now is it? Big Man is sleeping in, since he gets up at insane hours during the week, and the Little Man is just starting to wake up. My day is officially beginning.
In addition to cleaning, I need to sort through Santa's sack. This year, my Big Man did most of the shopping for the Little Man, so I don't even know what we have and don't have. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I ceded that role to him...And I need to see what else is lying around that the little elves left behind.
To add to my stress level this weekend, my mother informed me that my sister is in NJ this weekend, with a blizzard looming. Mind you she needs to get back to West Virginia to pack to fly out here on Sunday...absolute insanity. So that's another thing on my mind now.
Little Man needs my full attention now, so I switch hats from author to mommy!
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld
