Just a note

So it's a little crazy around here...but I wanted to post so those who read this will know that we're still here....

December is usually quiet...in fact, I remember thinking it was not fair that everything was cancelled in December because people were "too busy". Library story time would end the beginning of December, dance classes finished up a couple weeks before Christmas for "a break", even friends stop calling on you in case you're in a holiday frenzy. And I was usually bored. It's no secret that I'm a girl that likes to be on the run. I like to have something on the calendar...to me that means I've got a purpose that day. I would spread out my errands to make sure I had something to do the next day.... And then my kids grew up and I took on more responsibilities...like a part time job, a room mom, the ward Activity chairman, and rural living!

So now I've joined the "too busy" bunch that wishes just something would fall off the calendar for a while. I find myself thinking, "when does dance end again?", or "do I really have time to go to lunch with XYZ?"

And add in the fact that we're leaving town for 2 1/2 weeks on Thursday. Monday and Tuesday I have a 2 day seminar to attend from 9-5, a Christmas dinner for work, and visits to make to all those friends I will miss over Christmas....and I live in the boonies. But living in the boonies is a whole 'nother post. That definitely has something to do with our house being on the market!

So that's what we're up to...probably as busy as the rest of you....but I wish you a very Merry Christmas!!
