Well, November came and went quickly and now I can't believe it's already almost time for Winter Break (hallelujah)! I don't know what it is about this school year (well yes I do, it's the kindergarteners) but I am exhausted all the time. I think trying to keep my patience all day is the really exhausting part! Exhausted as in- I fell asleep sitting up watching TV on Friday with Gil...at 9:45. Saturday I barely made it to 11 and if I'm being honest, I fell asleep about three times before actually going up to bed.
Last weekend we got our Christmas tree but we didn't decorate it until this weekend.
We contemplated getting a fakie this year, but in the end, we opted for the real thing and I'm glad we did. You really can't replace the smell of a real tree. I love when our house is decorated for Christmas. I just want to sit on the couch in front of a fire for the next 4 months. I really would hibernate if I could.
Gil got me a new camera for my birthday, so I will have to post new pictures more often. It's hard to get everything done after work when my bedtime has been 9:30 lately and I have homework to get done in there too. I definitely want to post pictures of Laila more often because she's getting to be sooo big. She's 7 months old now and she is getting spayed on Friday. I'm pretty nervous about that...getting her in and out of the car (she is 70+ pounds now) and keeping her still so she can heal afterwards. Hopefully everything will go well. Wish us luck!
Hope that surgery goes well for the pup. When Sparty had his, it was in the am and I picked him up around 4:00 that afternoon and he was running around and doing everything he shouldn't have been by that point already. Hopefully she'll bounce back as quick :) And I am So there with you in the exhaustion factor . . between sick baby, hyper preschoolers, and first snowfalls . . .yep exhausted :)
ReplyDeletesue...if you ever decide to forego the real tree, yankee candle makes a fantastic scent "mistletoe" that almost makes up for missing that real tree smell.
ReplyDeleteErin,
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how you mommas teach all day AND have a baby to take care of. The puppy has been enough work for me lately!! Hope he feels better soon!!
Carrie,
I'm going to have to check that out. I have to say, we got a real tree but I really can't smell it for some reason. Sad face!
