Well...we are just waiting for the holidays...the feelings havent come yet where your heart jumps everytime you think about Thanksgiving and family or Christmas how how everyone will like your gifts because you really got what they actually wanted. I was always afraid of what happened after Bryce stopped believing in Santa...i thought for sure mom would stop buying gifts and no more christmas for us....that is about the exact opposite, it was a lot more fun, she let us all wrap each other's gifts and tease each other into guessing what mom had given us...ha ha. i sure think that i will miss that...but i guess we are always starting new memories and new traditions as the years pass...i sure hope that ours are fun and our kids remember the new year's man or look forward to holiday treats. Well....since that feeling is just starting...i will mosey through this next week until the fun starts. I guess some people would call it professional laziness...ha ha. Anyway...work has been a pain...since we are a real estate company, everyone and their dog went to National Assoc of Realtors...we have a team of four people that help to manage brokerage accounts and photographers in the southern United States(the North team is not busy at this time of year, but for us, we have California and Florida still busy...errrgghh!) anyway, one of our team members left for NAR on Tuesday and the other on Thursday for sugery...so it is just me and another guy....his wife has been ill for some time and so he isnt always able to come in....so here i am trying to do the work of four people and i am becoming very overwhelmed...my boss will ask me if i need to pass some work along to the other team and i tell him that i can handle everything...i just want to show him that i am working hard and feel it important to keep going....it has only been 2 days and i feel overwhelmed...i have got two more weeks of this any then one of our team members return.....yes!! anyway...i just wanted to vent....

I can't wait for the holidays either but mainly cause it is time away form work and school and time to spend with family.
wow...sounds like a huge job you have right now- I hope you know your limits and say no when you need to!! Then again, you might surprise yourself and find that you really do just fine :) Nice holiday memory thoughts..I think since I have kids old enough to get excited, its starting to feel like the holidays again -finally. Its been hard but it feels good to let the bright eyed twinkly-ness of the season pass on to the little ones and I can almost remember what it felt like to be them when I look in those eyes. cheesy I know. oh well.
I havent felt that...excitement since...well probably before Mom died. It was pretty exciting when she was in the hospital Christmas of '87..and all the nurses got a bunch of gifts donated for us kids. It was one of the biggest christmas' that I remember. I still have one of the quilts I got. Now..I get excited to buy gifts for people..but only WHAT THEY NEED OR MIGHT WANT..not a bunch of crap to just fill up the floor. Arggh!!!
