Monday - Firm Christmas Party 6:30pm - 9pm
Tuesday - 4 loads of laundry (which I would rather stab myself in the eye w/ a sharpened pencil than have to do), clean house, empty and load dishwasher - bed by 11pm
Wednesday - Pick up dinner on way home. Dinner & time with kids until 7:30pm. Get a few Christmas decorations down from the freezing attic. Ask husband to get Christmas tree from garage into house by Thursday night - which of coarse, was "WARMLY RECEIVED!" -- (my sentiments EXACTLY!)
Thursday - Wolfe Camera to get 400+ pictures edited and printed from: Thanksgiving, a project for my cousin, my fabulous "Forever Young Safari" Birthday Bash!, and the firm Christmas party (of which, I've been designated as the "annual" photographer that gets snarling grimaces from everyone at my firm! - Don't be jealous, apparently, only the KOOL KIDS get this designation!). Finish christmas shopping for my side of the family (we celebrate Christmas with them next weekend). Upon return home, organize presents for "who gets what?" to ensure no one has been forgotten! Have a "Warmly Received" conversation with husband about Christmas tree that is STILL in garage! Bed by 11:30pm.
Friday - Dr's appt for annual flu shot and FINAL series of shots from Africa trip. Renew PAST due drivers license (OOPS!). Decorate for Christmas outside before dark. Pack for Women's Retreat.
Saturday - AM- 2nd shopping extravaganza with my dear friend, Denise, she has officially dubbed me her "personal shoppper!" Hilarious - poor girl!!! Leave for Women's Retreat by 12noon.

This week has been too busy for me. Anyone who knows me is very well aware that "my" time is just before bed - I love to read and have some quiet prayer time in the evenings. This week, I haven't had any time to breathe let alone pray and be quiet. And because of that, I'm feeling it.
My body feels like I've been beaten. I feel weak, worn out, frazzled, and quiet honestly, overwhelmed.
My prayer today is that I will take some time to reflect on the many, many blessings in my life that I take for granted... because, tomorrow, the notorious "To Do List" is still going to have goobs of things on it. But my "today", I'll never get back.
