Getting Ready...

Why does it always seem like we are getting ready for something...today DD and I are cleaning house getting ready for her birthday party on Saturday. After the party on Saturday, then we will be getting ready for DH's parents, his sister and nephew to come visit for a couple of days. Then when they leave we will be getting ready for Christmas. One of the things I want to do in the New Year is to slow down and actually enjoy things instead of always getting ready for the next thing to happen.

It could be though that I just over stress about things....like for the party...the Mom's that will be here and me hoping my house stays straightened up until the party is over.....or stressing over DH's family being here....and there won't be anything straight about my house until they are gone......then it will be Christmas and stressing over if someone gets us something that we hadn't planned on and us not having something to give in return....*sigh*....I know we aren't suppose to worry or stress but at this time of year it is very hard.
