Dashing Through the Holidays!

Why do holidays have to be so scheduled and hectic. Why don't we all get together more during the year so we don't feel like we need to see everyone we know right before the holidays? Although I am excited to see people I have not seen in a while and have a great time, it just is always so hectic.

I think I am writing this because I am starting to feel the gift basket pressures. I always get like this 2 weeks before the holiday. I am doing 120+ baskets this year and there were a few snags process. Which leaves be feeling pressure. I work on this a few hours every night. I am a stay at home mother and I feel guilty when I work. When I don't start to work until 9 PM, I am exhausted by 11.

Then to think about what I need to get done for this weekend on top of continuous basket work. Tonight I made a mad dash to fill 4 stockings for a party on Saturday night. Sunday morning we have church and another party right after. Sometime Sunday I need to make sure my house is in order and cupcakes are made for Maddie's birthday and playgroup in the morning. Then I am sure we will have some cake that night with what ever family wants to pop over. Ok, writing about this makes me more stressed. I know I work best under pressure and feel great when it is all over, but GEEZZZ... BREATH...
But there is some how still time to play. Tonight I took some fun pictures of Madison's eyes. I know a mother is bias, but I love Maddie's eyes. Especially when they are wet. Here are a few to share. Someday when I have more time I will scrap these and share the page.
