Phew! That was fun!
Pic of the Day ~ A Morning at the Park ~
Christmas was so a total blast. All the effort, worrying and fun that went into it this year totally paid off! Thanks for all the warm wishes!
Yesterday we trudged out Canadian style ready to hit the shops with a vengeance. Disappointingly, Americans do not have the same thrill of the kill shopping the day after Christmas as Canadians do. It was odd to see some stores looking still all in shambles from pre-Christmas and others not opening till 10 am!?!? I did however find some really great deals. I found some onsies and pant treasures for the boy who remains nameless at the Gap and Children’s Place for dollars a piece. And a maternity shirt for myself. I also bought myself a pair of new shoes, since I actually wore out my flip flops. J went out later to buy writable DVD’s and other miscellaneous gadgetry.
I am feeling a tad lost now that I do not have Christmas to focus on. Many are discussing New Year’s and beyond, yet I did not look past now. The future for our family is so vague and foggy it is hard to even guess what to expect. The baby is coming that is all that is for sure. All this uncertainty makes me edgey and cranky if allowed to think about it.
I need to have a focus, somewhere to tunnel this energy and uncertainty. What that is I am not sure … yet … ARG! More uncertainty! Off to sulk … wait! No! I will not sulk. I am happy kid! I am off to return some emails then do some knitting.
Glad your Christmas went well. It is kind of depressing once over & done with since you focus so hard on getting ready for this 1 day & then it’s over & you don’t know what to do with yourself.
Enjoy your New Year’s & then it won’t be much longer till baby boy is here.
By the way, got your package in today, thank you so much!!!
Yippee! I just stumbled back upon your blog - it’s Marie (of Cosmogrrl!) and I’m happy to hear that you and I are preggers at the same time! Cool! I hope you and Becca and J hada super awesome Christmas!
You’re not the only one who has the let down feeling after Christmas is over! It’s all this preparation, anticipating and waiting for it to arrive, then it is all done and over with before you know it!
Definately can to relate to that unsettled feeling when not quite knowing what next
Glad to hear you had a great Christmas!
You will not sulk!
You had a wonderful holiday and you are growing that beautiful baby boy!!! Becca is a doll face and your hubster is gorgeous!!!! Look onto the future with joy!!!
You will not sulk!!!
Ok…is that better? I think you needed that. I know I did…*hug*
Chelle! Wil Wheaton left a comment on my blog!!!!!!! Hee. Sorry…knew you’d appreciate it for the miracle it is. Go back to your unfocusing.
I too hate the unknown -this is the 1st year we’ve been settled in 3. In a year, you’ll have 2 beautiful babies for Christmas, where, of course, is less important.
I am sad Christmas is over =( I love it so much! I think you could focus on getting the nursery ready =) all the little things that you have to do, you can spread it over the next 4 months and relax for a while until he comes.
I just love her cute little glasses. They’re adorable.
