I see it . . .

. . . finally, the light at the end of the tunnel, (better yet, the forest through the trees!) is approaching! Christmas Village now just 8, no 7, days away . . . it's already Friday morning.

I don't think I've gotten to bed before midnight any night this week. I've been doing okay, until this afternoon it caught up with me. After working all morning for Stacey, going right straight the entire 5 hours. Not to mention I was rearranging the workout room of all places, which required countless lifting of various weights. Hellooo! I don't do this on a good day, let alone today! Well, after I finished that project I began polishing more silver things, so that was a little more my speed today.

Was very, very upset'ed that the original date Nashville Christian had posted for Kindergarten graduation has been changed. Messing up our once-in-a-lifetime Florida vacation with my family. Uuuuugggg! Yeah, that ruined my whooooole day. And I guess I ruined Dave's too, since I wasn't being very kind about this kink in all our plans. His thoughts: skip graduation. Uuuugggg!! Why can't life just be a little easier?

Picked up Charity from school, and really needed to go out and get more "things", but crashed on the couch. Don't remember too much, until Gramma came up stairs to tell me something. Whoa! What happened? Had my little nap, got up and ate some food and drank a big cup of sweet tea . . . and the rest is history. It's 2 am and I'm still doing good! :D

The bags are complete! Hallelujah! . . . and well, that's about it. Oh dear! Well, the remaining tasks, I'm praying, begging God will go by quickly and without a hitch.

Here's what's left (to clean my head, because I do need to go to bed at some point!):

~ Cut out 25's (16 black/14 white) & glue to "Tomato Cage" trees.

~ Cut out 12 White Poster board stars for Allison to make tree toppers.

~ Paint bulbs white.

~ Throw some white and black glitter on our white and black bulbs.

~ Make flower arrangement.

~ Sew 2 Aprons (One for Allison, One for Me . . . obviously).

Friday (this) afternoon I'll finish Christmas Village stuff and into the evening, hopefully not Saturday morning!

Saturday will be clean the house, iron clothes for next week, prepare ahead meals (lasagna/soup) all in preparation for crazy next week.

Dave will be in classes everyday to become TN licensed insurance agent. And though I'm thoroughly excited about this for him . . . I sure wish it would have fallen on a different week. We'll all be glad when this week is over, I assure you.

A little sneak peak and for Allison, too. I love how everything is looking so "party-ish"! Next Friday and Saturday will be fun, but I'm always so tired from the week's work, that I'm only half there in body and mind. Who knows? Maybe it will be different this year? But at least half my mind and body will be enjoying that party @ Wonderland Closet!
