That's right - ONE tidbit!! I am so far behind in getting ready for Christmas this year that I almost had a panic attack this morning! I so enjoyed having Jeff here last week, and Lauren for the weekend, that nothing got done (wouldn't trade the time with them for anything, though!). I don't have cards ready, gifts wrapped or my little trinket things done for work. I want to take something homemade down to Naples this weekend....
Warp speed in the evenings, the rest of this week!! I'm usually so in control and so much better organized!! I know - calm down, and take it one task at a time, in an orderly fashion. It WILL get done. It will get done. It will ALL get done. Ho, ho, ho......
If I told you all the things I have not done yet for Christmas, you would feel much better about your situation. I've gotten used to it, so I don't even panic anymore. As a music teacher most of my life, and now a music director at two churches, my Christmases are always taken up by Christmas music prep and practices. It's a miracle my grandchildren get anything at all from me. I think MAYBE I might be able to do some shopping on Saturday. But I gotta find time to finish this doll and get it in the mail. My work week is all-consuming. Sigh. I'd better stop before I start panicking!!
ReplyDeletegiggling]]]] I LOVE YOUR PANIC BUTTON! Sorry for yelling. lol--thanks for the smiles, Terri. Blessings
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt whatsoever that you will get all done, you want to do. I am not sending cards this year, that was a big help. Baking - now you will have to do that one, as I dont do that any longer.....fingers xxxx
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. I've just finished making a big batch of ranch dressing mix to make up into packets to give out. We will get it all done I know!
ReplyDeleteI've never been this behind. I have over 1,000 ornaments and not one has been hung. I am normally done right after Thanksgiving. However, I have a calmness over me so I'm not feeling stressed about it. It will get done. I know a lot of women who are in this same position this year......Take care and God Bless.
ReplyDeleteI almost need one of those buttons too. Until a friend told me the same thing.... calm down, take one task at a time and don't let it all overwhelm you that it hinders your joy of the season.
ReplyDeleteYou take care.
I was just saying the same thing on my blog today. This month is going by so fast! Can NOT seen to catch up! :) Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI've been feeling the same, and I too am usually quite organized. I did good today though, so am feeling better about things.
ReplyDeleteKeep at it!
