I have wanted, really wanted, to post to my blog! I have been so caught up with all of our home updates (and it is really so exciting!!). Ross is in the kitchen painting RIGHT NOW and I am helping :) I will post pictures soon of our little, really HUGE, completed projects.
AND, I will admit that I have been in a bit of a funk lately . . . it's true. Sometimes the holidays are a little difficult to grasp, and love, and admire . . . its true. I even find myself wondering if I am really the Grinch! I have even wanted to post a little welcome wagon message to anyone and everyone that gets this Grinchy feeling during the holidays. I am comfortable admitting my Grinch tendencies as he is a darling little animated character and he eventually realizes he does not want to be mean! And please know that I do not look at holiday blogs or neighborhood lights and decorations with disgust. I just wish I was the kind of person that had my tree up the day after Thanksgiving! I am not! Where does this come from? Perfectionist tendencies? Unrealistic expectations? Memories of holidays past . . . the memories that fog holidays' future?
End of discussion. I made a commitment to myself this morning that there is not one reason why I cannot enjoy my upcoming holiday . . . with tons of family coming for a whole week, with menus to plan and decorating to do and sleeping arrangements to arrange--with proper bath amenities and comfy blankets and pillows. Oh, and what about LAUGHTER and FUN TIMES?! See, I am in a holiday mood just thinking and writing! Thanks for reading and I really do hope everyone enjoys their family and friends . . . always!
