12 Days Until Christmas

Hmmm. Today is the First Day of what? insanity? Perhaps. December always kind of throws me for a loop. I can say "I love Christmastime," but in reality there is just a little too much going on for me to keep track of. Between school activities, volunteering in the classroom, Christmas baking, buying gifts, wrapping gifts, ordering photos, Christmas letters, sending gifts, standing in lines and then standing in the SAME lines AGAIN when I discover I have forgotten one thing...and this year I also have the church family Christmas Breakfast to organize and execute.

My shoe broke yesterday. I really liked those shoes, too! Not the repairable kind of breaking. It had a rubber sole and the whole thing cracked, right where the ball of my foot kind of bends when I'm going to kneel or squat down low. It's not that they were expensive shoes--probably Payless or Kohl's. It's the fact that now I have to go find new ones. I'm supposed to make time for that kind of shopping, in DECEMBER. Are you kidding me??

Well, listing my responsibilities reminds me that I need to get to some of that! Happy Thursday and now it's 12 Days until Christmas!!
