First I had to check every other site imaginable to make sure I was getting exactly what I want along with the best deals. I do the same thing while shopping in everyday life too. For example if I am looking for shoes I will look at and try on shoes in every store within a 2 or 3 city radius taking weeks to decide on the perfect pair. Actually half the time I just give up and don't end up buying anything even though I spend a tom of time looking.
But not today, today I am not just a browser, I am a buyer. In the process I have gotten nothing else done today and even though I had grand intentions of going about my normal Evolving Mommy business and sharing some Monday Yumday yumminess with you that all went out the window, but at least I have Luke, Maddy
and a few other people started or completely taken care of! I know, score right?! All this after getting the Christmas cards sent off to be printed yesterday.I am totally feeling Christmas this year. Whoa, that never happens. Maybe I should go check my temperature but I don't feel any of the normal holiday stress and anxiety that normally plagues me this time of year. Maddy and I will be baking a boat load of cookies with my grandma this week and I am thinking about breaking out the Christmas decorations too.
What is happening to me? Usually I'm a bit of a stressed out grump this time of year.

I feel different too.
LOL gosh we are similar I shop the same way. I will check out every possible place online, look for coupon codes etc etc. But it has helped me get great bargains for Matts christmas presents this year. With Little One we got more excited and just purchased things except for his leapfrog tag jr which I got a good deal on yesterday. Enjoy the season especially with Maddi getting older.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who checks and checks and checks again before checking out. I did that very same thing at 1am on Black Friday. I was saving over $500 but I still looked very carefully everywhere else for a GPS first.
Merry Christmas!
I check everywhere online first but when I'm out shopping I tend to get the first thing I see because shopping wears me out!
I'm so glad you mentioned Christmas cards--I totally forgot!
i congratulate you on your calmness and lack of anxiety! i am sort of right there with you in feeling pretty good about the holidays. lord, lord, i hope it lasts!
but don't think you are getting off easy! i expect a yummy and easy recipe on your blog at some point this week!
I am loving Christmas this year too! I had a amazon cart ready for two weeks, I finally hit submit on "cyber monday".
How ya been,girl?? I've been so out of touch with the bloggy world. I bet your little monkey is getting so big!
Yeah! I am on top of the Christmas card thing too but still stressed. I guess you can't win!
I swear this summer my kids and I are going to spend most of our 8 weeks off sitting in our pajamas just relaxing. That really sounds heavenly!
Why is it that no matter how hard you try to keep things simple life gets so busy, so quickly!
I feel the difference too. IT is the kids, the fact they are old enough to get that twinkle in their eye, that we made it through this horrible year okay. It just feels hopeful this year.
