It's the most wonderful.....

Or possible stressful time of the year. I'm sure most everyone feels pressure during Christmas, I usually feel more relaxed then I do this year. But next Monday I'll be 4 weeks away from delivering a 4th child, I'll have a husband that will leave the next day to go back to work, working away from the girls has been difficult for them, at least Maddie, and I have no idea what job I'll have after the baby comes and no child care lined up if I do get another project. Pile that list with I've done nothing to get ready for baby and trying to make plans for 4 Christmases to make everyone happy is leaving this mama overwhelmed.
I need a break, but since that's not happening maybe I just need to spend some time in prayer. Also I should remember that I'm lucky to have families that want to spend time with us over the holidays, even though I'd just like to stay home; I also have a great project right now that I do get to semi work from home; and so far an extremely healthy pregnancy. I know things could be worse! We did manage to squeeze in shopping for a tree and breaking out some Christmas Jammie's! Cooper gets to wear his to school tomorrow for a Christmas read in and singing and party! I don't have great pics of decorating the tree cause we squeezed that one in Tuesday night after basketball homecoming! See it's a busy time of year.






So while everyone might not get their way next week sometimes you just have to make sacrifices; possibly it'll work out better then planned.....
