Wishing

Anyone else wishing for a less stressful Christmas? I know I am. It is so hard to keep your eye on Christ's birth when you are constantly running from one place to another, making a thousand lists and worrying about every little detail in your life. SO here I am today with a million and one things to complete before we leave Wednesday for Virginia to see my family. And what happens? Ryan gets sick. It seems somewhere down the the line he caught a cold. So today I have opted him to "stay home" with me. Stay home meaning to run to Target, Petsmart and who knows where else. I would rather him try to get better before his first little Christmas performance tomorrow. So as I write this, and looking at my watch and my list of to-do's, I am reminding myself what this season is all about. It's about the birth of Jesus. Not about keeping way too busy. So today I will make it a point to stop. Maybe snuggle with Ryan today and remind myself just how wonderful my life really is.
