Holiday Crash

Oh the Holidays! Decorating. Baking. Hot Cocoa Starbucks trips with the kids.  Fire pit nights. (OK time effort and thought of trying to get those together this year. We tried). Shopping. Wrapping. No School AKA kids home 24/7.  Keeping them a little busy.  Meeting up with family and friends. All the Christmas stress that comes along with it. Money. Keeping in contact with all. Christmas Cards (takes me 2 days somehow). Getting everyone looking good for holiday get togethers (ok that's a lie my kids choose what they want to wear and they haven't had hair cuts since the summer). Having everything baked and what am I gonna bake. Can't forget to decorate cookies and gingerbread houses because if I didn't I would feel I neglected my children somehow from something they absolutely love the "thought" of. Then we pull it out it and in just 5 minutes they are done. But all worth it right? I mean we do it every year can't stop now!  And lots and lots of wine to keep up with all that comes along with Holiday Craziness. That's the easy part considering I have never forgotten to buy a bottle of wine when I go to the store. On the list or not. I have forgotten eggs, tampons, prescriptions. and why I even went into the store in the first place. Never wine. I feel pretty proud of myself. Wow that's an emotion I haven't felt in a while.
OK OK back to the blog...

After all that what are you left with? Memories, Happiness, Love.. yes. But also Holiday Crash as I call it.

What leads to this crash? Hmmm.. Let me tell you how it starts for me. Starts with is it time to clean up the decorations? Is too soon when is too late?  How are my neighbors and friends gonna view me because I wanna keep up the tree year round? It's my only JOY right now. The pretty lights with my coffee in the morning. The happiness it brings to play games underneath at night with it all lit up. I just really love my tree. The holiday hype is over and I do need to start decorating for Valentines. But I spend a lot of time putting up those Christmas Decoration and Tree up and I wanna get the most out of it.

Holiday crash is...Have I even done the laundry since the kids have been on vacay?! Cause they literally haven't changed there clothes as often as usual. Wait a second thinking about that. What does my house smell like? There sheets? OK let me make a note in my phone to do there sheets today. I am pretty sure I'll forget by the time I'm done typing this I am sure. Just glanced over at my kitchen sink. Dishes again?! I just did 3 cycles yesterday. Wait when and how did I even let that many pile up?! Holiday Crash. It has hit me! The holiday emotions of joy, love , and excitement have been replaced. The reality of hello you somehow ditched all your scheduled daily chores and to do's for 2 months and now it has become overwhelming with all that you need to do to get caught up and back on track. Kind of makes you want to go back to bed until next November right?! With a Mimosa in hand of course.

Holiday Crash! You have got the best of me this year. But I'm gonna put my big girl panties on(oh wait let me check something. OK my granny panties will be just fine ;). Preheat my Keurig and get my s%&$t together and myself put back together.  Oh wait umm I think there is a new episode of 90 day Fiance' on. Hmmmm. OK in an hour. Or maybe better yet, tomorrow.
