installment #2 of snakes and sweet peas

It's been a while since my first installment so I figured it was time for another round. :)

Snakes:

*Christmas cards...I haven't done one thing for them and this stresses me out a bit

*the cost of window treatments! I still haven't purchased them yet but am getting close and am overwhelmed and how expensive those suckers are!

*its getting cold in Waco, my heat is on a lot more, my house is 100 years old so no insulation, aka: expensive heating bills!

*the last week of pre-school for B until next year! (my precious 2 days a week gone for a month-YIKES!)

* allllllllllll the shopping I still have to do for Christmas

* mail carriers breaking discs that I send clients, boo!

Sweet Peas:

* a medical bill that was from my honeymoon 10+ years ago just got refunded to me! Hooray for random money coming my way! (I was super sick on my honeymoon, a fun story for another time perhaps)

*Cute Christmas cards that keep coming in the mail from friends/family who are way more on the ball than me!

*Finally having our Christmas tree up and being able to smell it all the way upstairs...mmmmm

*Baking Christmas cookies with the ninner

*having a house that is put together (FINALLY!)

*getting into a groove and feeling normal again

* The David Crowder Band singing Christmas music on Sunday mornings (its awe.some.)

*Being married to a professor and the time off that comes with that -yipee!! (we're going to a movie in the middle of the day on Thursday while the ninner is in school because WE CAN!) :)

*being intentional about not stressing too much about all that needs to get done and taking it a day at a time and just relaxing and breathing.

and b/c blog posts need photos, here's a photo from a California session that I will get blogged later this week!

Sometimes it just feels good to write all that stuff down, huh? and I like hearing about it all. You sound happy and content :)
I love you,
Mom

Glad you are getting some down time, and a movie date w/ Adam in the middle of the day! I don't think we're gonna get around to Christmas cards this year.... we'll see. Sigh.

Yep, you could cross Christmas cards off your list but I would sure miss the adorable picture of B that I know it will include! Love reading your snakes and sweet peas.

Being on a school calendar completely rocks, right?
