Long time, no posts but I've been busy, busy, busy. As I write, I have a basket of laundry sitting in front of me that desperately needs folding and Christmas presents that should be wrapped. Oh well....Still trying to find the ideal balance between work, kids, husband, and ME time. Nothing unique there. Of course, the stress of the Christmas season isn't helping. Hate that this time of year that should be so joyful and full of hope is full of tension and familial discord. We're still shopping and I feel as if I haven't had time to sit back and soak it in. Maybe Mass on Christmas Eve will help. I'd love to go see the new movie "The Nativity" but don't think I'll have the time and after seeing the previews, I don't think it's something I can take the kids to.

Well, better go- the hubby is pouting b/c I'm not helping wrap the presents. Gotta go! Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!
