Make It Monday... or NOT!!!!!

I had my 33 week OB appointment today and we were talking about that final stretch and how I'll be going every week and then in a few weeks I start the non-stress tests at my appts, which I LOVE btw. It got me realizing that I've been spending a ton of time working on Christmas decorations and stuff like that when I really should just let this Christmas be super simple and easy and start working on the things I still need to do to get ready for this baby's arrival and enjoy my last month cherishing my two kids before their brother arrives. I figured that since I've done paper birth announcements with my kids that I have to do the same for this one too... but now I'm thinking I'm going to go the digital route... mostly because it's cheaper and so much faster and my life is about to become totally chaotic, lol.

So, instead of having a project done to show you... I ended up putting my half done projects away and will maybe work on them sometime in 2011 to have for next Christmas. Gosh, it feels good! And my tree with just the lights and star on it is going to remain ornament-less and all the decorations will remain in the rubbermaid tub they are stored in. Gosh, it feels good!

I am working on one project though... I want to have amazing memories of this year's Christmas, so I've joined a class that will help me journal my Christmas. I'm really feeling the need to do that. I've also joined another class that started today to help me with inspiration and hope to be able to keep an art journal and memory journal in 2011 and this will help with it. I seem to have so many things in my head that I want to do but then lose steam and I'm hoping this will help me be inspired by what's in my head and what's around me... like my kiddos, who make me smile soooo big every day.

Gosh, it feels good to take care of myself so that I can be a better mother and wife to my family. No more trying to get a million things done that I think NEED to be done, and enjoy this short life on earth.
