Monday-Work,clean house, and Christmas Party
Tuesday-Work, Parker School, and Christmas Party
Wednesday-Work and Church
Thursday-Parker's pre-school program (say that 3x fast), and dinner with friends
Friday-Work, clean Grandparents house, and host a game night.
Saturday-All day downtown trip with Crew
Sunday-Church, Leader's Christmas Party, and a woman's christmas cookie exchange in the evening.

If I make it to Christmas Day in one piece, I'll be pleasantly surprised. I have purposefully not planned anything for the 22nd and 23rd. I'll need those days to relax before two days of hustle and bustle. I want to enjoy this time with my husband and children, and I don't want to be a stressed out grinch. I have learned that I have limits (something that my 30th year has taught me), but I don't know how to keep myself from pushing them. Maybe I'll learn that in my next 30 years. The problem is that I WANT to these things...well, most of them. They all just fell on the same chaotic week.

You will make it! Those two days off with your kids and hubby will make it all better in the end. Have a great week and enjoy it!

Limits are always made to be pushed...I am constantly re-learning that I have them.

I am trying to be ahead of the game... with cards out and presents done.. but even with all of that, it still seems like there are a ton of things going on to keep me crazy busy... I keep telling myself, "if I can just get past this next event, I'm good....." and then another event pops up!
