The holiday season is right around the corner. I feel it. I'm starting to think about the tree, if I'll decorate it differently this year, or stay with my normal deco. I always say I'm going to change then never do. I think THAT has a lot to do with my frugal husband. I can go and buy and get no problem but then I'll have to hear 'blah blah blah what was wrong with the other stuff blah blah blah' the whole Christmas season. Never mind. I'd much rather avoid the extra stress and keep the old stuff. One year though...
I'm buying the first few toys today online. I can't believe this means another year is coming to an end. I really am finding that hard to believe. I'm excited about the upcoming festive season, but realize more than ever, the time that has just flown by I'll never have again. Am I doing the best I can to savor all the moments? I think so, but I don't know. I'll do better to be present in the moment, enjoy the here and now.
You know, when we go somewhere with the boys, I never lose sight of the fact that I'm a mom. I don't let them roam and go, my job does not end, ever, the eyes in the back of my head are on high alert and my ears that listen for manners from the Oldest are turned way up, when we are down a toy aisle (or any aisle) I still don't let the Oldest go off by himself and my eyes are peeled for any odd strangers or loners. Remember that this season as we go running here and there with the thousands of other folks, hold their hands tighter, keep them closer.
Here comes Christmas!
