Just stuff...

My last posts showed the kids playing in the snow. The snow is long gone and I'm a bit sad. I really like the snow and I really do like snow days. It gives all of us (me especially) a built in excuse to slow down and not get everything done. It's like Gods way of making us in the Midwest take a breath. I single out the Midwest because I know my friends in Detroit the snow does not slow them down a bit. LOL! Anyway, I'm hoping for a white Christmas but I will go as far to say that I'm wishing that only at my house - so I don't interfere with any one elses holiday travel plans. Aren't I nice?!

Ok, so I really should be stressing at this point. I am no where close to being done with Christmas shopping. Seriously. But, I put in a major push at work today and I'm off now until the New Year (so I heard my dh tell his Grandpa this evening on the phone. Patti - do you really think it's true?!). I am making a full charge ahead attempt at finishing my Christmas shopping in the next three days - like I really have a choice. I'm supposed to be upstairs right now updating my Christmas shopping list but I'll admit I'm procrastinating. I really have no idea why. I started updating it but then I realized I needed my daytimer which was in the office. That led me to sitting at my desk to reach for my daytimer and I got sidetracked by my computer. It made me check some blogs I frequent, then check my personal email, then check my business email and then update my blog. Ugggh. No wonder I only have a few gifts purchased. Even with all of this procrastination, I really am not stressing. Even with the pending Christmas Eve event happening at my house where I'm cooking dinner for nine people. My house has to be clean and presentable. I absolutely refuse any longer to stress these things. It will all get done. May not be perfect but it will be great none the less. I'll let you know how it goes.

I hope anyone who reads this is leading a stress free holiday season. We all deserve it!

Happy Holidays to all. Merry Christmas!

    Cathy,
    I'm soaking in your stress-free vibes thru the computer screen. Ahhhh --- that feels better :) What really needs to get done does get done, doesnt' it? The rest can wait. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas, enjoy your family and time off. Merry Christmas!

    I say lock that computer of yours that always seems to leer you away-at least until the New Year. Enjoy, enjoy. I know you will and I don't know that I've ever really seen you stress-you're an angel!
