Good morning.
This has been my longest haul since Xanga that I haven't blogged basically daily. Its been a long couple months. And I think its time to get back in this habit.
The next week is going to be insane, and then I can enjoy Christmas. I've spent the last four months making purchases, and planning, and painting to decorate a tree for Awana, and told them last night I wouldn't be able to decorate it.
I'm kinda bummed, but also relieved. Now I just have to decide what to do with all thedecorations. The best plan would be to store them until next Christmas. But storage in our house is non-existent. And I resent storing pretty much anything.
We had a wicked storm the weekend of the bazaar that I'd been counting on to help with Christmas. So I have two boxes of things I made to sale talking up precious walk space. I keep staring at them completely frazzled as to what to do with them. I have no place to put them. I'd love to dump them in the garbage...but Rob tells me I need to try again. *growl*
I hate clutter. I don't mind dirt, but I hate clutter.
ON top of that, tomorrow is an Olympia baton, so that means making 3 meals today for tomorrow--gotta save that money ya know. And Saturday is our Awana tree festival, which I love and want to enjoy, but feel so stressed I keep wondering if we should even go, cause that evening we have a baton parade to go to in Forks. And I'm always dragging after an Olympia baton, and I have to coach that parade.
And the cycle of things i have to do keeps racing through my head in horrible vicious patterns. When all I really want to do is sit on the couch and stare blankly.
Basically the winter doldrums have hit me very very early. LOL I don't usually get them until after Christmas.
Rob told me this morning that I've been without one of my thyroid pills for over a week. Which is probably why I feel so bleh
But even with that, I can appreciate the amazing beauty around me. And I have to choose to focus on it. Last night on the way to Awana I *had* to take a detour to Pillar Point cause I knew what I'd find.
Moon rise! I took this with my new camera and if you enlarge it you can even see a few stars. WAY cool!

Whatever is going on hang in there and this too shall pass. Just remember that you have had surgery that wasn't just some little something recently and still have to do the mommy/wife thing. Cut yourself some slack. The world will continue to spin if you don't do some of the pressing things you and the kids think you have to do. This is advice from "Been There---Done That!"
The SunnyC is right....cut yourself some slack, take a deep breath. Your're still recovering from surgery. This Christmas season, maybe it should just be about you, hubby, the kids and reflect on what the Lord has given us all.
What a beautiful photo you have..........your're good!
maybe the blues hit early because you have already had the ''pack up the house' routine this year and that normally happens around january, february?... just a thought? Feel free to ignore it LOL
I love the moon rise picture. What made you get away from Kodak and try Nikon?
Beautiful photo!!
I hate clutter too... it keeps sneaking up on me!
