The Last Day of September
Woman in the Middle | September 30, 2016It is the last day of the 9th month of the year. My goodness, 2016 has flown by! And now comes the busy months, the crazy months, the months that will fly by even faster!
In our house, October through January are the really busy months. We will celebrate three birthdays and four holidays before it is over. Then we have a month break, and then the fourth birthday arrives. Then I can go “Whew!” and plop down on the couch and relax for a while, or at least a few weeks until Easter arrives!
This year I have an election to deal with as well. I am looking forward to November 8th getting here and getting over with.
I find the January birthdays particularly stressful. Stores do inventory in January. They tend to not restock much after Christmas until the inventory is over. I have to do most of the January birthday shopping before Christmas if I am to have any selection what so ever. So, I am actually doing shopping for two birthdays AND Christmas all at the same time.
Psst….I have a little secret…..I have already started Christmas shopping! Nothing organized. I just pick up things when I see them. I don’t see them a lot as I haven’t been going shopping a lot lately.
Are you gearing up? Is this the start of a busy season for you?
