Yeah, I'm About Running on Empty!!!

I'm still here, just running on EMPTY. BUSY, SHOPPING, RUNNING, SHOPPING, VOLUNTEERING, SHOPPING, CARPOOLING and SHOPPING! It's the "time of year" and right now. . . I'm a little bit maxed out and over-extended. It hasn't helped that my hubby just arrived home from being gone since Thanksgiving weekend. So, I get the whole load in his absence. It was hard on both of us. He's gone again come Monday morning - - traveling for work again.

. . . So I probably won't be blogging as much as I'd like to until after Christmas. Unfortunately, I have not been able to visit as many of my blogging buddies either, as I like to do. I do hope to get my blogging and comments caught up this weekend. And. . . I do still plan on posting additional pictures of my holiday decorating. . . if I could only find a minute to download my camera! If I could only get a minute to find my camera!

So far, I have ALL of my Christmas shopping done!! Yeeeeaaaahhhhh!! More than 1/2 of it is wrapped and under the tree (nice when the kids get older. . . you can do that!) I have a few presents to take to the post office for mailing. . . If I could just find the correct size boxes! I have all the food purchased, except the Ham, for Christmas dinner. Now. . . I will begin my baking. Next week is my "baking" and "freezing" week. Do you bake for the holidays? For gifts, parties, family? We have our few favorites that I make. Mostly for my husband to take to the office, some for the neighbors, ALWAYS for fellowship time after church. I just have to make sure I keep my hands out of the cookie jar! So, after my baking, things should go easy-peasy into the celebration of Christmas. . . all busyness put aside to focus on why we are celebrating! *Sigh*, yes, that's what it's all about folks.

This weekend. . . I'm spending with my hubby! Hope your weekend is truly wonderful too.

Blessings. . . until next time,
