Hello and Welcome,
It happens to me every year in August. It is like I have an internal clock telling me the holidays are coming, the holidays are coming! So, I go to organizedchristmas.com and the Flylady and make extreme plans to clean my house, hand make most of the gifts, put extra meals in the freezer, bake, and be ready for Christmas by December 1st.
I know it is possible--it has to be, right? People do it. So, why not me? I am always so hopeful. And then, disappointed and guilty on December 23rd. My family does not put the disappointment and guilt on me, I do. But, I think not this year. December 25th will come and go whether I am ready or not.
Oh, I have already been to organizedchristmas.com and I can tell you there are 126 days until Christmas, but this year I think I will make plans and keep them reasonable. I am not a naturally organized person (I am coming to grips with that). I will take my time and enjoy it. Sort of like it's the journey, not the destination.
So, here, at August 53, I will keep myself accountable and organized.
I hope you enjoyed your day today and had some fun. My daughter and I went to Target and shopped the dollar section. You just never know what you might find. I found a small sixteen month calendar that goes until December 2013. Now, that is something I can use!
