Ten days until Christmas

We are down to ten days until Christmas.  Where did the year go?  Only ten days????  Tuesday evening I pointed out on December 14, 2015 I had every single gift purchased, wrapped, and under the tree.  At that point Robert looked and noticed there was not one present under the tree...not a single one.  Technically, I had one wrapped, but literally just one.  In fact, I didn't even have everything purchased.  I still had a significant amount to purchase for Catherine, and I hate it when I don't have things ready to go for the kids.

I completely acknowledge this is life now that I am working.  Even though I was off Tuesday and Wednesday, I had kids with doctor appointments and I also had to make a trip to my hometown.  That right there is four hours out of my day.  There is just a lot going on in life.

Yesterday though, while out and about to accomplish this week's grocery list, I got several things purchased for Catherine.  I'm glad to have that handled, and I'm really ready to start wrapping.  I'm working today and tomorrow, but next week I plan to be home (other than several hours I have to put in at my church job).  The high school is on exam schedule, so Catherine will be ready to come home each day before lunch.  I'm going to allow myself to be home next week, and I'm looking forward to really being ready for the holidays!
