Christmas Attack! and just and update of my life
Another day! Another post! With holiday season around I get really busy. Usually not because I have too, simply because I am am crazy. My season starts out with waking up at the crack of..this year midnight and race to the shops. (Yes, I was crazy enough to tackle Black Friday) Between two hour of sleep, waiting in lines, tossing a Starbucks protein shake thingy,(which went to my stomach. I can feel the pounds packing on!) I managed to get most of my Christmas shopping done. HOWEVER! Does this stop me from shopping? Nope! So random trips to the store are always in the mix. Then of course now that I am mother, I need the perfect Christmas card to send with a picture of my baby girl!
This task is not easy! I couldn't put her in a Disney Princess Christmas Card well I am just not that into Princesses during Christmas. So I spend hour at not just Walmart and Walgreens, but also on the Internet looking for a perfect card frame for my picture of my little darling. (I am typing this up right after she decided to spew all over my shirt.) After all that time wasted, I had the big idea to make my own! I am an artist after all!...*cough* 3 days later I had my card design done, and 5 days more I had them printed out.
And does it stop there? Of course not! That would be crazy! I have to spend hours searching for boxes to put gifts in and wrapping them neatly then coordinating ribbon to make bows. And of course I have to top it off with a perfect homemade tag! And then the cookies!
I have not even started them yet. I plan on making just a few batches, you know for people like the trashman, mail lady, a few for me ( straight to me stomach again!) Maybe a batch for my mom, well hey lets toss in another batch because I have extra ingredients! But wait! look I have chocolate! Let go back to the store to purchase more stuff to make this other kind of cookie, then turn around and find I need 2 more Christmas cards printed to send, might as well swing by Walmart to get those printed! So once more I will be packing up my kid in a purple puff coat she hates, throw my green scarf over my spew covered shirt and off I go!
Over all, even though my Hubby man is not here, I am still blessed by my Lord to have a wonderful Christmas season so far. Keep Praying for my Hubby Man! So far so good!
Until another day!
