Burned Out.

I feel like my “To Do” list is growing into a mountain. Even though I was exhausted last night I couldn’t fall asleep because my mind was racing with everything that I still have to get done before Christmas. It has been wearing on me to the point where I feel like I am perma-cranky/tired/stressed. Poor Mitch. Anyways, I have decided that it is OK not to get everything done. I need to enjoy each day and be proud of whatever I accomplish even if it is just taking a shower! Christmas cards don’t need to get there by Christmas, the neighbors won’t die if we don’t give them anything, presents are still enjoyed if they are late, and the gym will still be there tomorrow. I feel like I had to pull my head out of the ground and remember what is truly important!

This time of the year has always been my favorite and I want to keep it that way.
