Enjoy your pain free back and all that you have managed to get done. <br /><br />Recovering from pneumonia- I am sooooo tired and break into a sweat doing simple tasks. Possibly the least prepared for Christmas ever, but still looking forward to Sunday's Children's Christmas Pageant, all my kids being home, Christmas Eve service and of course Christmas Day. Dinner will get cooked, the house will be a mess and it will all be good. 😀Nancy Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992641479164834969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-52763923328216032502014-12-18T20:44:06.292-08:002014-12-18T20:44:06.292-08:00Unfortunately I've barely put any ornaments in...Unfortunately I've barely put any ornaments inside the house and haven't managed to put up the Christmas tree the last few years. We haven't even put out Christmas lights on the outside of the house, which we've done without fail every year as my husband isn't feeling well this year. It really does not feel like Christmas at all.<br /><br /> I haven't baked one batch of cookies yet, hopefully some of this will be done over the weekend. I have felt run down all this year and am now trying to cure a cold. I just want to snuggle next to Lulu on that comfy bed! We do what we can and we don't judge, right?annienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-88021052873498815232014-12-18T08:48:08.292-08:002014-12-18T08:48:08.292-08:00Hi Julia, I am very happy for you.

I have to dust but at least my mantle has some Christmassy decorations on it. I am going to set my little village up on my piano. My Nativity crèche is set up in the living room. My limited number of cards are mailed to the older relatives who appreciate them. The rest of my friends get an email since that is what they prefer. I haven't done much baking yet but I have a week left. At least I don't feel like you know what and I am handling the Plaquenil much better now that I found out that the generic is loaded with lactose. 2 lactaid tablets with my pill and no issues at all. That is something to be very grateful for. Have a very blessed Christmas.Suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-87805903668146886802014-12-18T07:50:48.161-08:002014-12-18T07:50:48.161-08:00Oh Julia, you are so a woman after my own heart. ...Oh Julia, you are so a woman after my own heart. I too, do lots of what I call "pre-editing" of my photos. Making sure the junk is moved out of the shot, that the dust isn't obvious for the things in view of the camera eye, lol! On the surface, Christmas looks under control at my house, but I too am secretly wondering if I can get my baking done, or send cards.mcspireshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129916102784468854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-26677664898916354892014-12-18T07:44:23.828-08:002014-12-18T07:44:23.828-08:00Amen! :)

My 11 and 9 year old kids decorated the tree themselves while I put the garland on the railings - teamwork got it done at our house...now only to work on that dust, dirty bathrooms, laundry...eh, forget it, I'm happy with the tree right now! :)Kelly Dempewolfhttp://asmybodyattacksitself.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-60812258317952888992014-12-18T07:33:17.868-08:002014-12-18T07:33:17.868-08:00I hear you!

The most important thing to do is to concentrate on enjoying family and friends, not trying to make the house look like a spread from Home and Garden.<br /><br />Besides - it's the little kids who enjoy the glitter the most. Trust me - they are blind to dust and dirty dishes!Brigidnoreply@blogger.com
