The past 3 weeks since my last blog have been busy. With Thanksgiving behind us we look to Christmas and the celebration of our Savior's birth. I love this time of year. I don't however like being so incredibly busy. I feel like my to do list each day continues to grow and bleed into the next day. I also feel as though our family is merely crossing paths instead of enjoying the same path. I used to think how great it would be when this "time of year" or that "time of year" was done, but I have come to realize that one "time of year" feeds into the next. So how do we survive these crazy times of year...better yet how do we thrive? Being a control-freak, to-do list creating, slightly obsessive compulsive, clean freak-that is something I have yet to truly understand. I greatly enjoy sleep but find myself foregoing the all-important necessity in order to complete one more thing on my list. Or I find that to be my time to relax without the demands of motherhood, so I mindlessly sit in front of the tv for an hour or two longer than I should. I think my plan this year will be to not be so crazy about the housework and every little detail of our life and really sit back and enjoy everything more. My Christmas present to myself...enjoy what I have and not worry about what needs to be done every moment of every day!

That's excellent! I struggle with that too. You know what? Our kids won't remember if we had every detail done but they will remember every time that we put that stuff aside and enjoyed life with them! :)
