I feel overwhelmed. I don't like to be overwhelmed and I think that getting some things off my chest and out of my mind may help. So here goes....
-This is my 2nd Christmas as a married woman. 3rd Christmas without living at home with my parents. I thought hubby and I would have started our own Christmas tradition by now, but we haven't. This makes me sad.
- Bronx has been up on his leg more in the past few days than this entire recovery process. Its scaring the hell out of me and I'm afraid he may be doing damage by not resting like he is suppose to. I'm just completely out of ideas on how to keep a dog lying down for 24 hours a day. I have to work. I have to cook. I have to do laundry. I can't lay with him all evening (which is the only way I can make him lay down and stay off of his leg)!!!
-My MIL is driving me crazy!! I love her to death (I really do!) but this week/weekend she has called me at least 50 times about getting my hubby stuff for Christmas. I don't stress over getting gifts because I think that gifts are the less important things about Christmas. I enjoy being around family, eating, playing and spending time together and celebrating the true meaning of Christmas much more so than the gifts and it tends to bother me when people freak out over the perfect gift or the monetary value of gifts.
- I've been secretly eating lunch out and even stopping for breakfast on the way to work in the mornings and its starting to catch up with me. I've gained 10 pounds in 2 months. Ohhh Mmmm Geee!(I am not pregnant, I'm just a fast-food whore)
- I haven't washed my car in months. Nor have I cleaned out the inside of it. I'm pretty sure I have a science experiment growing in an old food box in the back floor board. Its starting to smell too. I should probably do something about that.....soon!
- I still have to figure out what I am cooking for both of our families Christmas Eve dinners. I'm sure the grocery store will be out the ingredients needed for whatever it is I decide to fix because sadly, I'm a slacker!
- I have 4 pounds of pecans and 2 pounds of almonds that need to be "candy coated" because if I don't hand them out with presents at Christmas people will give me hell about it for weeks! I've only made that mistake once and don't intend on doing it again....but when will I do them?? Where will I find the time??? Ahhh!!
- I have baby fever! Please don't tell hubby! Ha! We've discussed babes here and there lately and I know that we are not financially or emotionally ready yet but I still can't shake the feeling. In due time, in due time.
-I can not keep a budget!! Not one on paper or a logical one anyways. I can keep a mental budget of how much we need to save and how much we have for groceries, bills, etc but I have made numerous paper, spreadsheet, handwritten budgets and expense tracking sheets and they all fail. What is wrong with me!?!?
- I love to wrap presents. I don't want anyone else to do it! I'm not the best at it, but its like a tedious little task that is soothing to me for some reason. I'm thinking of becoming a "wrapper for hire" next Christmas...no really....ok, ok, just kidding!
That's all the randomness I have for today, but give me a night to dwell on the other things going on in my life right now and I'll be back for more soon!
