December 5, 20 days before Christmas. My Christmas cards are out. All of the shopping for those outside of my house is done. In most people's standards, I am doing great. But, I feel like I am so far behind.
We moved 3 weeks ago. My house still has boxes all over the place. I haven't finished the shopping for my kids yet, and presents from others are showing up, making the clutter of boxes even worse and growing.
I still haven't finished shopping for my family. Plus, the demands for treats are starting to come around. Jade's school wants 2-4 dozen cookies. Jeremy wants me to cook in a chili cook-off. I have to make boxes of treats for all of Jeremy's co-workers.
But, that's not all. I have what every parent has to go through right now ... Christmas pageant time. Jade has a Broadway showcase and two school programs all in the same week.
But, that's still not all. My health hasn't gotten any better. 6 months ago, I had to get a filling, and after that, my tooth hasn't been the same. I just found out this week, that that dentist cracked my tooth while doing the filling, so now I have to get a crown. And, the heart problems continue. I have a follow-up with my cardiologist to talk about the medication that is making me feel worse.
But, what I'm most excited about is that my husband's office is having a Christmas party! I love getting all dressed up and spending time with adults. This is going to be one of the most exciting nights in a long time. It's been 7 years since our last Christmas party.
So, Christmas is in less than 3 weeks. I love Christmas. My kids are so excited and it excites me to see that. I just hope that I can make it there!
