I am having a hard week.  Maybe it is just the adjustment of getting back into the swing of things after having five days  off.  I hope that's it, because it is only Tuesday.  

I have so much to do and very little motivation to do it.

I have to unpack from our trip.

I have to finish putting up the Christmas decorations.  I made the mistake of getting all of the boxes out and starting the decorating last night but got tired and didn't finish and when I came home everything was spread out all over the floor the way I left it and it made me want to turn around and walk right back to my car and go somewhere, anywhere, but here. I live in a 1000 square foot apartment.  How is it possible that I have five large tupperware containers of Christmas stuff?  How?  I think it is time to go through and weed out a bit.

I have Christmas cards to address(which I got for $1.00 at Michael's), and bracelets to make(and send) and packages to send out and Christmas shopping to do.  I have only bought one thing. 

I knew  Christmas was going to be tight this year, but I didn't realize how tight until I sat down last night to look at our budget.  It's going to be tight. Joe and I always buy gifts for each other but we may not this year.  It's not that I am disappointed that  I won't be getting gifts, it's that I love to give them.  I really do.  I am trying to make a lot of handmade things but of course I have to sit down and actually finish the handmade things.

I love Christmas.  But Christmas is stressful.

Thank goodness tomorrow is my day off.  Hopefully I can get a bunch done then.  I'm sure I will feel better tomorrow.
