Christmas is coming

It’s Monday, December 18th. Just a week until Christmas Day.

We finally got our Christmas tree on Saturday night. It’s in the house set up, but I haven’t the lights to put on it. They are “somewhere” and hubby isn’t here to fetch them out for me. I used to love decorating trees for Christmas when I was younger. I still LIKE the look I could make, but find it more tedious and tiresome to do than I can stand the last 5 or so years.

Of course, our house is still in ‘disarray’ due to not yet having the new cabinets and sink and all that for the kitchen. We still have the old ones sitting in different places. It might not be that far away that we’ll get some of the cabinets and things will turn around a bit for ease on my part in the kitchen. It would have been better for this all to have been done before now (this is really tough with me being pregnant too!)

I’m now 13 weeks, going on 14 later this week. Time is starting to fly. It crawled for the first trimester, let me tell you. (It’s the first time ‘time’ has slowed in flow for several years for me, growing up is not all it’s supposedly cut out to be :LOL: )

We ordered things from Vision Forum and are awaiting their arrival by the 23rd. I don’t want to be up wrapping presents late Christmas Eve, or the eve before that. I really like having it all done beforehand, I love shopping completed in November, in fact, but things being as they are, I’m stuck with how they have been. 🙁

We still need to get something for our youngest. Mr. Super Active doesn’t need anymore toys really, and he’s still too young for much of anything else (just 6-years-old.) I don’t like “going shopping” per se, and really dislike it during the holidays, crowds, crowds, crowds. I don’t look forward to going to Toys R Us or The Disney Store, or where ever. This week is THE week to stay home and bake cookies. I’ll do that for now, since hubby is out of town, but he’ll be here for going out on Wednesday, ugh. Too close to D-Day.
