Happy Monday! I have one kid in preschool with a runny nose, one infant sleeping in his bouncy seat, and one 8 year old home sick with a stomach bug that she got last night. I am baking cupcakes for a Brownies meeting tonight, sewing a fake Snuggie for my godson, and trying to get my chocolate cookie dough truffles blanketed with melted chocolate. I am going to lunch with Jenna and Alec and meeting a friend of hers from preschool and her mom and sister. Michaela has an orthodontist appointment at 2:45pm. I finished mailing out my Christmas cards today. Michaela has Brownies tonight (if she makes it), and we have Jenna's preschool Christmas Pageant tonight at the exact same time. I have about 5 presents left to wrap, fudge to cut up and package, and a few more desserts to make for Christmas. I have a load of laundry in the washer, a load in the dryer and a load in the basket that needs to get folded and put away. I have to go shopping one more time for one more person. I have to frost the cupcakes for tonight. I have to unload the dishwasher and clean up from my baking.
I am looking forward to Thursday and Friday, when all of this nonsense is done.
Christmas WILL come and it will ALL be worth it as you see M and J's eyes light up with what Santa brought them! It IS a tremendous amount of work but, thankfully, we know it is NOT about the trappings but about our Savior's birth. And you, Danny, and the girls know this and I am thankful for that! My children know Jesus-the best gift a mom and dad could EVER have! Love, Mommy
ReplyDeleteI think Mary and Joseph's first Christmas wasn't all neat and tidy either.....though there probably wasn't any cupcake baking for Brownies! Christmas blessings to your dear gang! Love, LW
