Randomness

I'm so behind on EVERYTHING! My having a sinus infection of some sort for the past week and then various children being sick off and on, has just thrown my schedule off.
I had a mini-freak-out last night around 12am. Yes, that's right around midnight! I've been taking Mucinex and the past 2 nights I took it right before bed and hardly got any sleep. Well, one of the possible side affects is sleeplessness....so yeah, that's been me that past 2 nights. So on top of not feeling that great, I'm exhausted and have so many things to do, I don't know where to begin.
Ok, back to my freak-out. I realized that Christmas is 2 weeks from THIS Friday. So that brings me to my yet to be done Christmas related list.

1. Decorate tree.
-We've got the tree but can't find our lights and all the stores (4 of them) we've been to are all out of the lights we need.

2. Christmas Cards
-address them
-write letter
-picture of kids (we took some over the weekend, not real thrilled w/ any of them, but at this point it may be as good as it gets)
I'm so tempted to just do the letter and picture this year and skip the actual cards....something I said I'd never do. Although, at this point if I don't skip something they're going to be New Year's cards.

3. Bake Christmas cookies
-I'm at least starting them this weekend. My sister's coming over Sat. morning to make some...yay! :)

4. Finish Christmas shopping
-I'm almost done with the kids, but still have plenty left to do

5. Decorate the house
-got the decorations pulled out of the garage, but they're still sitting in containers in the living room.....with our bare tree. :)

6. Order bows to match Blueberry/Lulu/Lu-Berry's Christmas dress(es)

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I've had a few "Scrooge" moments where I've felt like throwing my hands up and saying forget it, but I just can't. :) I am SO looking forward to feeling better again, I know that'll help a lot....and the kids all being healthy again will be wonderful too!

As for non-Christmas related things, well, it's mainly the day to day things. Laundry, cleaning, cooking, feeding kids, driving kids, keeping track of kids and all their many "events", being a wife, and the list goes on.....

Off topic we went to a Chris Tomlin concert on Sunday night, and I was so blessed and refreshed! I want to blog about it, but I want to do it when I'm more awake, so I can collect my thoughts better. I believe the "theme" for our Christmas letter was "born" during the concert. :)

Anyway, I wanted to get on here and just get a few thoughts out and I guess make an unofficial list for myself. :)

Need to go get lunch ready.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
