Mountain of boxes…
Today I face a literal mountain of boxes. And, I’m not happy about it.
Shopping in bulk at Sam’s and ordering most of the kids’ Christmas gifts online has piled up quite an amount of boxes in the garage that must now be broken down and flattened for the recycle truck to pick up on Saturday. We can barely get out the door to the vehicles due to all the boxes. The kids usually help me quite a bit with this as they love stomping and jumping on the boxes - but that has not generated any additional enthusiasm for me today.
Also, Tim and I decided that today is the day for the Christmas tree and holiday decorations to come down. Another one of those tasks that I am not giddy about. I’m ready for them to be put away - I just don’t want to have to put forth the effort to get the job done.
And, my kids are hollering for homemade brownies too - and my gray hairs are really showing and need to be “washed right out of my hair” at some point today.
I’m still feeling a bit weak and run down - probably because those super strong antibiotic tablets have made it difficult for me to go to sleep - I was tossing and turning until 1 a.m. last night…
I guess I’ll stop whining now and will go get busy. I’m trying to focus on making 2009 truly divine.
