I am SO happy that I have taken these 3 days off of work. I have been more stressed about this Christmas than anytime I can remember! Why? I'm 49 years old. I should be happy about the Holiday Season....I should have money, I should be stable, I should be content. But I'm not. Wow...my life has kind of passed me by, and now that I really think about where I am, I'm not so sure things are where I want them to be!! I know that this time of year makes us reflect on our lives, our family, and everything we hold dear....I love that. AND I am very lucky!! I have an amazing family and I am blessed. However...I still get stressed. Plain and simple. Stress sucks. And I know for a fact, that a lot of people feel the same way as I do!! Right? So.............I have taken these 3 days off of work to kind of de-stress so I can get everything done. My job is stressful..but I kind of like it that way. However, I hate the fact that the first day I have off, I get a call at 7:35 am needing me to do a parts order! Really? So, the trooper that I am, I went in at 8:30 and took care of business. I DON'T GET PAID ENOUGH!!!! HA HA! Anyway, I know I'm venting, but I really haven't really blogged about anything substantial for awhile. I feel better now that is off my chest.
Anyway, here are a few more of my decorations. Oh, and I got the DTV up and running today. (Wow...I had 3 guys here at the same time and all 3 were cute and very friendly! Because I have a nasty cold, it was nice to have a few cute guys around to talk to and joke with. They were awesome and I was very pleased with their service. Very professional.
Ok....pics...yadda yadda yadda
My star in the front window
Lights outside. It looks pretty bad...I couldn't get it any better by editing. Man I have a lot to learn!
Santa face. Love the blue eyes!
Excited about going shopping tomorrow and getting all finished!!
I love this time of year, but I think we all need to de-stress and think about what Christmas is all about.
Yay JESUS!!
Merry Christmas to you all!!
I hear ya on the stressful part Mom!! I LOVE this time of year but at the same time its so crazy hectic that sometimes I feel like I can't even enjoy it!!
ReplyDeleteAlso very hard knowing that we are spending yet another Christmas without YOU:(

Your house looks great! I wish I could come over and sit by your tree with some hot chocolate in our jammies watching Christmas movies.....the holidays really make me miss you not being here......it just sucks.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a couple days off, just wish we could spend the holidays together....and why again do you live HOURS away from all of your family?!?!?
