This Christmas is very different from any other for me: it is the first year that I don't have finals (yay!) and it is the first with a baby. Any hopes that I had of this year being stress free and of having my shopping/baking done early and without much effort on my part have been . . . dashed.
Don't get me wrong--this holiday season has been AWESOME and Natalie has been a champ as she's been dragged along on all day shopping trips (yes, trips as in plural trips) with my mom--but I am so worn out now that I'm finding things to do to avoid wrapping presents. Shopping? Check. Baking? Check. Wrapping? For some reason the pile of presents that I'm excited to give (don't get me wrong--keeping them a secret from the recipients has been KILLING ME) is like a black cloud looming over my head. Sooner rather than later, I've GOT to get around to it, but not right now.
For now, I think I'll brew another pot of coffee and enjoy this delightful face for a while longer.
