Have made some adjustments in my head lately, and it seems to be a good thing. For one, I've put the homeschooling in less of a number one position, and since I easily feel guilty (about just about everything), that's a definite plus.
I'm enjoying puttering in the house, keeping caught up in the clothes washing, and gradually putting up Christmas things. By now, I'm usually all worked up, fretting, mailing things I've hurriedly gotten together, writing in Christmas cards, with presents hidden (and not too well) in our closet.
This year, I'm way behind the rest of the world, and only have bought one gift---a huge CareBear for the least one when it was on sale at Target.
And you know, I'm at peace with my lack of activity. I tend to be a procrastinator, and it holds true even now. I might look back at this Christmas as being incredibly joyful. I hope so. And maybe if I avoid the stores when it's majorly busy, I'll be better off.
We still await deposits (big job got canceled, but that's just fine) and I guess just knowing that things are percolating, keeps part of me from going mad. Can't do anything about it, God's in control, and it's sunny today. What more could I ask?
