Well hello, pretty
I’m avoiding work. This is what I do. I work all day, non stop, until I’ve almost completed whatever the task at hand is. The next day I start at it again, but with much less enthusiasm and it always seems to take the whole day to finish what could have been done in a good hours worth of work. I’m not sure why I do this. Maybe it’s because I get bored, or maybe it’s just pure laziness. Either way, it’s what I’m doing right now. . . and probably what I’ll be doing rest of the day.
This weekend we spent most of our time working in the yard. Let me rephrase that, Kevin spent most of his time working in the yard! I helped. I swept the sidewalk, played with Milo, pulled a couple of weeds ( that were the size of small trees ), and climbed up into the hot attic to get anything and everything Christmas related down. So for the time being, we only have a 1 car garage until I can go through it all and see what else I might want this year. The new plants we got for the front yard are really pretty. Although, I’m pretty sure anything would look better than the azaleas that were barely hanging on to the last bit of life they had left. It was sad. We still have a lot more to do in the yard. . . but I imagine it’ll always be that way.
So now I’m deciding when is an okay time to start putting up Christmas decorations. I’ve always thought the rule is to wait until after Thanksgiving, right? That just seems so far away though and sometimes I can be very unpatient. We’ll see how long I last. I will make a promise right now to at least not put up any Christmas lights. . . outside. I’ll only look overly excited about Christmas to anyone who comes inside!

I used to put up Christmas stuff in early November because I was unpatient, too. However, after six years of doing Christmas outside of my parents house, it got really irritating to have that stuff in the way so early on, and now I put it up after Thanksgiving and usually take it all down as soon as Christmas is over. Haha! The Christmas season is just too hectic for me sometimes.
Haha you are so funny! I can’t even THINK about Christmas right now! And I keep thinking how quickly Thanksgiving is going to be here!
Michelle - for some reason, the stress and chaos that can come along with the Christmas season doesn’t really compare to the happiness that I usually feel. I’m sure once kids are in the picture, I might not be able to say that anymore
Cassie - I can’t even think about your life right now! Moving, Cale’s 1st birthday, Thanksgiving then Christmas. . . it stresses me out! I hope we’ll be seeing you soon to help with anything we can.
Kids just add to both sides of the issue. They make it more exciting and more stressful all at the same time. So if your excitement outweighs your stress…it will still do that when you have kids. I think that’s a good thing because you will set an example for them that events and excitement should be more fun than stress.
