I didn’t pre-plan enough to write my rituals and favorite things before Tony’s birthday and then didn’t want to take time from his birthday to do it and, well, I fell off the wagon. Now I’m scrambling to get together the stuff for our own 12 Days Until Christmas *real life* rituals along with last minute online shopping (including Christmas cards) and last minute photo shoots (can you hear my kids groan from across the world?), deal with the endless customer service issues I have *every single year* and just trying to organize the holidays and I am beat. The thought of blogging is rough! Add to that that Tony is starting a new project that will require him to work outside the home starting next week which I’m sure will be a gigantic adjustment for all of us and I just want to crawl under a rock until the holidays are over.

We still have not even finished decorating the house. 3 of our 4 trees are decorated and we have lights on our roof. But its a project in the works.  Like usual, I refuse to post pictures until its done-done. That is supposed to be my motivation although I still haven’t finished the kids playhouse and I said the same thing about that.

I’m beat. I’m holiday’d out. I want to go sleep for a month. So if you don’t see anything but random picture and video posts, forgive me. I’ll do something more substantial when I have renewed energy. Its times like this when I wish caffeine had any effect on me at all.
