Work all week just so you can have two days off to do whatever you want! I decided it was time to put up Christmas decorations!!! Problem is, my house is always a wreck by Saturday morning since I am working full time...baskets of neglected laundry, clean, but waiting to be folded and put away, half emtpy glasses of coffee and water laying here and there, newpapers, school books, dirty socks on the floor, mounds of dishes on the counters, etc...you get the idea, basically a MESS!!
Still, I pushed past practicality and decided to go downstairs, haul up the boxes containing festive items to bring holiday cheer to our home.
I put on Christmas music, brewed some coffee, and began digging through those boxes to find treasures that were waiting to be discovered again...Oh how I love Christmas!!! I spend most of the morning unwrapping glass bulbs and remembering the years that they represented. Each ornament carefully picked out by the kids so that they could hang it up on the tree. Then on to other boxes filled with beads and candles, snowmen and gift bags. Oh how fun it was....
and then.....somehow in the midst of my glee I realized this had happened...
and this....
SIGH!!!!
I kept on at it all day long, and its amazing to me to have to say, it pretty much still looks like this as I type this morning! UGG!!!! I will press on until its done...but for now...this is what I have planned.
Coffee and Country Living!
