Seriously. The Boy and I still haven’t recovered. In the course of the last 7 days we:
- Cleaned up after hosting Thanksgiving
- Tidied after a hosting a houseful of guests
- Prepared for the next wave of guests arriving
- Experienced serious change at both of our offices
- Lived through three work deadlines
- Attended two Christmas parties
- Participated in small group Bible study
- Participated in strategy planning for 2011
- Graded papers for 40 students
- Ran a marathon
- Followed a Marathon Man to cheer him on
- Slept far too little
Like I said – it was some week.
In the midst of it all, I got a hair-brained idea to pull out our Christmas decor. I got as far as setting up the tree, but not fluffing. There it sat, in all its non-fluffed, stuff everywhere, glory for over a week.
Even now I only have 1/3 of the lights on. The ornaments are out of their respective boxes and are piled in a chair. I hope they’ll stay there, safe from the curious paws of two furbabies, until I have time (and energy) to finish decorating next weekend. But I’m not holding out hope.
Speaking of the furbabies…I didn’t make up our bed at all last week. {GASP!} And in the midst of our very untidy bed, Ben and Bridget decided to be friends.
I wish this new-found friendship lasted longer than a cat nap.
I love how you stacked all of the boxes neatly just so that they'd be in the photo.
You know me well. 🙂
