Way Behind Schedule...

I knew that starting a new job three weeks before Christmas would put a cramp in getting everything I needed to get done for the holidays. But, hey you do what you gotta do. I finally got my Christmas cards done and mailed yesterday (two weeks behind schedule than past years). I finally got the tree decorated last night (it's only been up for a week now). I started wrapping "Santa's" gifts last night - and also realized that going to take a long longer than I planned (I will probably be wrapping five minutes before the kids wake up!). Normally I am finished wrapping gifts at least a week before Christmas. And I still have shopping to do, something that I normally wrapped up with long before now. I am not looking forward to being out there with all those last minute shoppers. I planned to get a lot of things done today, but of course that won't happen either. Sam was up all night sick and very unhappy. We went to the clinic this morning and he has an ear infection in both ears. He now happily sleeping with the strong medicine they gave him to dull the pain. Oh what fun the holidays are!!! But they really are when you see the kids faces on Christmas morning, then it's all worth it.
