Decorations are still up

I know I wrote early last week about taking down the Christmas decorations.  I didn't do it though, although maybe I should have.  Tuesday I worked and we had unexpected (and much enjoyed!) company.  Wednesday I did some errand running with the younger kids on their last day home.  Thursday I was preparing (laundry/packing, etc.) for our weekend trip.  We were gone Friday morning until Sunday evening.  I worked Monday (both at school and church) and Tuesday at the school, then last evening the kids had a swim meet.  Today I was trying to get laundry caught up and get some reports ready for a monthly meeting this evening.  I also got caught up on general household chores.  Tomorrow I work again, and again Friday morning.  This weekend the kids have all-day swim meets both Saturday and Sunday, and I also have a funeral to attend.  So yep, the Christmas decorations are up and might be for almost another week.  And you know what?  I am totally okay with that!  My house is picked up and put together.  I find the decorations quaint and cozy, and I especially love the trees and all the memories hanging on them.  I also love the pictures that are taken each year of the kids (or our entire family) in front of the tree and are currently sitting in our family room where we spend most of our time...I enjoy those memories as well.  I've decided life is way too short to worry about something so trivial.  My plan is to just enjoy the decorations while they are out!
