Then to be with people who aren't appreciative and snarky to boot...good grief. I would definitely plan an "out to town" cabin for next Christmas where you guys can spend and entire week in pure bliss and leave the family crap behind. Now that sounds like a lovely holiday. Get booking sister!dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-15744372183486922612015-12-21T14:46:40.823-05:002015-12-21T14:46:40.823-05:00Our house is chaos- everyone wanted to come home a...Our house is chaos- everyone wanted to come home and we are moving literally the day they all leave. So I determined I was not going to make myself nuts this year and I'm not. Cards were out day after Thanksgiving- shopping and wrapping was done mid-November and under the very early tree. I even let the store buy the cheesecake this year- I know it's not the same as home made but I'm moving- so everyone can just survive this one year. I'm probably more 'over' things always being about food because honestly, I'm over THAT right now. But I'm happy for the visitors, even happy for the chaos so long as I can take a break from it. Your log looked lovely and I'm sure it was still yummo.

I think I needed it because today I feel a lot better about life in general. I waited too long to order gifts online (how is one day shipping going to take from Friday until the next Thursday?) so I'll be making a run out of town tomorrow to do my shopping. I'm not looking forward to the crowds, but it's my own fault. Mostly. I didn't get paid until the 15th and got a bonus on the 17th so I didn't really have the money to get gifts earlier, but I still could have planned better.<br /><br />I hope you get some rest and that today is a better day.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-66611645507507076862015-12-21T09:58:17.272-05:002015-12-21T09:58:17.272-05:00I understand how you are feeling about the holiday...I understand how you are feeling about the holidays. My significant other is feeling the same way. We made the call this morning that he is going to take a pass on the family festivities and take a road trip to the mountains of Tennessee (arriving the 24th) and I will do the family Christmas thing and fly down to meet him early on the 26th. We will have that cabin in the woods, but no snow, for a few days. Sometimes the hardest thing is to recognize that you just don't have the energy to put on a happy face for a room full of family and friends when you just aren't feeling it.Browrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01661145494625869227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-68920020481747799582015-12-21T08:08:59.019-05:002015-12-21T08:08:59.019-05:00Sorry about you weekend, it can be hard to hang wi...Sorry about you weekend, it can be hard to hang with family.

Wel...Good Morning! Sounds like a whirlwind weekend!<br />Well, my baby son (22) got home Thursday which is just awesome. I missed him so much! We got some great news Friday, my brother and fam from Indy will be joining us Christmas day! So excited! I was so bummed last week mailing out gifts we wouldn't see anyone open. Let the board games begin :) My Mom sure perked up when I shared the news!<br />We had a quiet weekend, watched "something's gotta give". I love that movie, first time Mom has been interested in anything for awhile. I had taped it and the ending was cutoff! I saw it was playing again so I retaped it and yep, same thing, grrrr! I've ben wrapping each delivery as it arrives so pretty much done there except for 3 items ordered in time that won't get here in time, pfft! Tonight my #1 son arrives so off to the store to stock up on all his fave foods. They are heading to Iowa until Christmas Eve so Mom and I will be busy getting ready for the food fest!<br />Only 3 days of work, then off for 11!<br />Have an awesome day!<br /> Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818785860858381950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-61727012727015031672015-12-21T07:29:17.980-05:002015-12-21T07:29:17.980-05:00Good Morning!
