Hustle and Bustle

As the Christmas is quickly approaching my sister and I are feeling the stress that comes a long with the preparations for this next week. My whole family is traveling east to Colorado for a "White Christmas"... HA HA! It hasn't snowed here in a long time, but I'm crossing my fingers! We have slacked on the blogging this past week because we are all over the place. I am trying to get my house in order, wrap presents, get it clean and tidy before 6 other people come into my house and "mess" it up :) My sister has been busy with work, school holiday parties, holiday plays plus trying to locate all of her family's winter gear for the trek to Colorado. From our hearts we are truly sorry to the people that follow our blog...which still blows are minds that anyone is reading what we post :) Thank you all !!

My sister's family arrives tomorrow and my parents the day after that. It's so exciting to have the whole family together again, we get to see each other twice a year, but this summer we were unable to see them. I haven't seem my sweet nephews for one whole year!! If only money grew on trees :) While my sister is here, we plan to sit down and blog, blog, blog away! We will catch up from the weeks we missed.

Just to give you an idea of how crazy life is..it has taken me two days to try to get this post done. I can't seem to finish it. I will post this today damn it! I will!! My mind can't seem to turn off. There are constant lists being made in my head, when one lists is complete the next one starts. I sit in bed, exhausted trying to fall a sleep, but I can't stop thinking. My energy is slowly running out, my poor kids feel the stress seeping right off me. They too are stressing out. UGH.. If only I were the type of person that could just sit back and take a deep breath. Enjoy the life I have been given, the moment I am in, embrace the obstacles and the hurdles... That is the person I am striving to become!

May this Christmas season bring you clarity, love and warmth! God bless each and every one of you and your families. Amongst the hustle and bustle this consumer culture wraps us up in may you be able to see what this season is about!
