One More Week?

I'm asking, can I please, someone, anyone, give me one more week to get ready for Christmas! Raise your hand if you need one more week too? Where did the time go? I feel so behind. I feel kind of like a darn hamster running on a wheel. Constantly running yet it doesn't seem I'm accomplishing much.

Let me break it down for you...the first weekend of December Brad had a tennis tournament. He ended up unfortunately getting injured during the tourney. That weekend nothing was accomplished as far as Christmas preparation. The second weekend in December, Brad laid on the couch all weekend to rest his knee. And this past weekend, you ask?  Well we went out to get stuff done but the bitter cold temps rolled in and we soon headed for home. We did get a few gifts but certainly didn't accomplish as much as we hoped to. As this week has steadily drifted by Brad and Simon have struggled. They've had two very different problems. Brad is under the weather. He likely got sick as he did not dress properly for the cold temps that greeted us on Saturday. He seemed to be fighting it off but then today arrived, it was clear "the creeping crud" had taken a firm hold of him. His Christmas vacation though is finally here. Today was Brad's last day of work until after New Year's. He can rest tomorrow at least. As for our little Simmie, he had another seizure and is currently working through the aftermath of his vestibular disease. Poor guy falls over all the time and is in quite the fog. I actually thought it was going to be a quick one day issue for him however, Wednesday arrived and he was struggling with more symptoms. Hopefully both Brad and Simon will be doing much better by Christmas Eve.

So big goals for me tomorrow...I have to shop, wrap, cook, bake. How early can I get up? Hopefully early! People in Phoenix that get gifts from us. Expect a little something to arrive a bit late. SORRY! I know in the family I was raised in that is certainly not acceptable. Being on time is a must always. I understand my failure will be an extra topic at Christmas. I'm doing my best to make peace with that. Wish I was a superhero but I am not!
