December is not a month. Months have dates. December has daily events and obligations for those lucky enough to have family nearby and lots of friends. Most of them are fun, but the strain they put on someone trying to complete their overloaded daily routine while recovering from surgery is substantial. It's a lot of stuff, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
DECEMBERWeek one: Dinner party, Toddler Christmas Party, Mike's work Christmas party, Christmas crafts, Christmas cards and Yard/Tree Decorating.
Week Two: Shopping, Jingle Bell Run/Picnic/Santa Visit, Santa pictures & story event, Baking, Christmas light looking, Cookie party(s), Birthday Party (Happy, Happy Ms La!), Finish Christmas cards, Wrap!
Week Three: LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL for Isaac, More baking and crafting, Trip to Orlando for the Ice and Snow exhibits!!
Week Four: Christmas!! Wrapping, Family events x3, Gift opening and Eating.
Non-Holiday-wise there's physical therapy, helping with friend's new baby, my dad's surgery, Riley's dance class, Isaac's homework help needs, physical therapy (it warrants mentioning twice), school ending (that's also worth mentioning twice), cleaning/laundry, the constant demands of a toddler, blog writing, wedding planning, trying to recover from surgery and hundreds of things I'm sure I'm forgetting...
I don't know how you do it...being able to keep up with all that that's awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteCookie party, huh? Does my birthday party get a little fringe benefit from falling so close to such a wondrous occasion?
