Looking Forward to my Own Crazy Week
Woman in the Middle | December 19, 2016This past Saturday was the children’s Christmas party event I have become involved in. It is a nonprofit that provides lunch, a show, gifts, books, and a bag full of goodies, school supplies, and hygiene items for over 800 underprivileged children every year. Even though I am just one little corner of it, it took a lot of time. Our fearless leader laughed Sunday night when I said I hadn’t gotten my Christmas cards out yet, and I am never this late doing that. She said “The Christmas party does tend to take over your life.” Truer words were never spoken!
So, with the party done and over for another year, I am looking forward to a crazy week of my own making. How can the week before Christmas be anything but crazy? I will be getting those Christmas cards out, wrapping gifts, cleaning house, and otherwise getting ready for Christmas.
I keep making lists, and I check them twice, like a certain jolly old elf I happen to know of. I got most everything checked off today’s list, except for getting all the Christmas cards mailed. I managed to get the eight that had to travel the farthest done and mailed, but then my printer gagged. It looks like it just needs black ink, but we got a funny error message. So we shall see tomorrow after I buy some ink. Our Christmas cards might be New Year’s cards this year. Ink or not, that just may be what they are anyway!
What do you have planned this week before Christmas?
Sounds like you are ahead of the game! I will be making cookies in anticipation of 3 grandgirls and incoming friends. Now if I can only resist eating them.
That is the key to making cookies, isn’t it – not eating them all your self!!!
I am so damn busy this week, doing stuff with mum that I don’t have time to do stuff I need to do, also been watching grandchildren and will be doing that again tomorrow
I haven’t sent out my cards either, and so they will be Happy Holidays cards; they all say that anyway since my friends and family all different beliefs.
Basically, I will be working extra shifts and getting a new car.
I meant my friends and family all HAVE different beliefs.
