The Stay at Home Mother

This past week has been such a blur. Christmas is almost here and my tree is still in the middle of being decorated, my gifts are not wrapped, and I still have people to shop for.

Each day I get up with my son and daughter and vow that this will be the day that I catch up with my "to do" list for Christmas. I had even planned to bake shortbread cookies for the family and pass out to friends....however I can't seem to make it to the kitchen to actually bake them.

I did manage to collect items for the Food Bank last week, and somehow found a few quiet moments to myself to write out my Christmas cards and get them out on time. So at least people will know that I was thinking of them at the right time....

I am hoping that this week I will be able to get out on my own one evening to finish up my shopping. I didn't want to be one of those people who leaves everything to the last minute; but as my tree is still with only half its decorations on it, and my baking utensils are still sitting in the drawer...I may have indeed become one of them. Six days left and counting....
