I made the mistake...
...of looking at the calendar. And realizing I only have 3 more weekend days at home before Christmas!
<cue panic attack>
I'm also behind on laundry, haven't done the christmas card labels yet (the cards are being delivered today) and only got half of the christmas decorating done yesterday. Oh, and I didn't go to the store this weekend, so it will be a play-it-by-ear week of dinners.
Please tell me I'm not alone...

You're not alone. I'm freaking out!!! This weekend was madness. I decided to paint dd's room because we are getting her a big girl bed for Christmas and wanted the room painted beforehand. So that added more to my to do list. I went out for 4 hours shopping with dd in tow yesterday and still not done. I did most of my shopping online but still have things to get in store. Oh had to finally do Christmas pics and cards this weekend but will need to send those out when we get them.
still have a couple crafts to do for dd's room and putting together dh's gift (date basket) Not to mention wrapping. Ugh!! And we have no ornaments on the tree yet! And we are hosting Christmas Eve so the weekend before will be tons of cleaning . For some reason I feel like this year is so much more busy and flying by!!!
And I didn't have time to do laundry yesterday either!!
Thanks, ladies! I'm so glad to know that it isn't just me!
I didn't really want to decorate this weekend, but DH had already done all of the inside and outside lights, and put up the big tree, so I was feeling pressure to get going. Now that all of the boxes are unpacked, I want to finish so the house can be less cluttered!
It doesn't help that I found renewed interest in working on a crochet project for a friend's baby. Right now I would rather be doing that with my free time than wrapping or printing address labels...
yeah I photographed our friend's wedding as a favor 2 months ago and I have been working on editing those and still have some left. I need/want to be working on those rather than wrapping! I've done close to 300 pics so far but still have probably 100 more to edit. Too many commitments!!
I have most of the shopping for DD done and I'm done with my niece and nephew. I have a few things for DH and our parents - but I still have more to buy for them as well as gifts for secret Santa exchanges/co-workers. Surprisingly enough, our Christmas tree is up. (though we have no outside lights up or other decorations.) That's the extent of my readiness.
We had professional pictures taken a couple of weeks ago for our card, but with our whole dog ordeal
I just haven't been able to stop and pick up the disc of photos. So I haven't even ordered Christmas cards yet.

Yay!
It motivated me, too. After dinner, Todd helped me hang the stockings and decorate the mantle. After the kids were asleep, I went through my address list and emailed all of the people that I needed updates from. And I've received them all, so if I can find labels in my office, I can print them tonight. (Or at least I can print them as soon as I buy labels...)
And then I did some online shopping and got a bunch of the stuff for the kids. One phone call to order Todd's mattress plus a short trip to Target and the toy store, and they will be done. I could have ordered it all online, but I decided that I didn't want 2 mattress covers and 3 pillows delivered to my office in addition to the comforter... :-)
I still feel behind, and tired since I was up too late, but I am hoping that if I wear myself out this week, I can be more relaxed for the rest of the month. A girl can dream!
