I have no idea how Christmas snuck up on me again this year! I sometimes dream about being that perfect mom that bakes cookies, puts up the Christmas tree in November, and shops in October but sooner or later I have to love myself for the ridiculous holiday procrastinator that I am. We'll just call it an endearing quirk for now. I will eventually come to terms with not being a perfect mother who can sew and bake and scrapbook too, but that might take more time. Even though Mark calls me "June", he never ends it with "Cleaver". I am uniquely me and I know my kids love me for all my good and my faults! Next year I'll be on it. I swear.
This year, my wonderful sister in law is getting me into the spirit with a Christmas cookie exchange. Knowing Cristina, it will be an awesome event and if I'm not in the spirit after that, I will have to change my name to Jennifer Jane Scrooge. Unless I want to try and explain that to Mark, I better find my Christmas cheer and that fake tree in the garage! Maybe I'll even hang lights this year, you never know! I still have 14 days until Christmas Eve.....
I'm so excited that I get to see all of my Martin family in just over a week! I am finally making it to Aunt Bettie's Christmas party this year. It's been so fun spending the weekend with all of the girls every summer, now my kids will finally get to meet everyone too!
Mark and I are down to one final each until classes end, it has been a LONG semester! I am really looking forward to my two weeks off, although if the twins have their way, I might just sleep through my vacation.
Merry Christmas Everyone! Enjoy all of your blessings this season.
