I realize it's been 2 weeks since I posted last. I can't decide if I've been too busy or if our lives have been too boring. I think I'm going to go with boring today.
I think I have a case of the "bah-humbugs." It took all the motivation I have inside to finish my Christmas cards...which I finally mailed today, thank you very much. And I did make some yummy chocolate dipped pretzels for some friends. But I think I only managed to get that done because I wanted to eat some. They are very tasty. Actually, since I'm so bored, I'll tell you about them. I found big bars of Ghiridelli (spelling?? I'm too lazy to get up and look at the box.) melting chocolate at Sam's and some inexpensive pretzels at Aldi. Melt the chocolate and spend hours dipping little pretzels, and ta-dah! you have a delicious treat. They are very yummy. Even Maryn asks for them almost everyday...but she also eats boogies, so I guess that doesn't count for much.
Anyway, back to my "bah-humbugs." I really didn't want to put up the Christmas tree. But I did it for Maryn. She's loved it. She takes all the jingle bells off the tree and sings "Jingle Bells" for us. Occasionally I find them scattered around the house and put them back on the tree. I haven't even hung up our stockings. Partly because I'm not sure where to hang them.
And enter the line that Kade would say to me: "Bend over and I'll show ya." (Can't get enough of "Christmas Vacation.")
I'm tired of shopping and spending money on presents I'm not sure they will like and I can't stand the traffic. I dread that next week I'm going to have a bazillion more toys to trip over, and the thought of having to put all the Christmas decor away just might kill me. I even gave some of it away as white elephant gifts, just so I wouldn't have to deal with it.
So, how do I get rid of these "Bah-humbugs?" Anyone got an elf I could hire to deliver all my Christmas Candy and wrap all the presents still in the trunk of my car? Maybe they could clean my house while they are at it???? PLLLLLLEEEEEEAAAASSSSEEE???
Alright enough of the whining. I am kinda glad it's Christmas. We've had some fun parties and I'm very excited to see family. It is kinda cute to see Maryn sing "Jingle Bells," and I do have some very cute Christmas decorations that make me smile. I guess it's not all bad. So, to fight off these "Bah-Humbugs," I will say: "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

I know you'll start to feel better when you get here. Just seeing my beautiful face will cheer up the most grumpy soul. GET HERE FAST, I am tired of waiting to see you guys again.
Sorry you've got the Bah Humbugs...I have those depending on the year. Last year..DEFINITELY! When do you leave for N.C. I'd love to see you before you take off? Call me at my mom's! Same old phone number...or you have my cell! :)
Maybe you and Maryn could make some chocolate covered boogies....I bet my kids would like them too. I feel the same way about xmas this year. I didn't even make my xmas cards this year (first time in like 7 or 8 years!)I didn't put up our big tree (I have a small "decorative tree" I put up instead) and instead of messing with all our ornaments I just made gingerbread cookies in different shapes and hung them on the tree. Oh yeah, and our stockings are hung on our window-yay for sticky hooks!
Watch out for those ghosts of past, present and future! ;) Are you travelling for the holidays or are you staying put??? Are you coming this way?
i'm so glad i was a recipient of some of the christmas decor you didn't want to put away. it looks cute sitting on top my tv!! hope your bah humbugs went away so you could enjoy the holiday!
Can't wait to hear how your Christmas was! Kade called us grinches because we made the kids wait until 7am to open presents. I hope Maryn wakes him up at 4am next year!!!!
