Christmas Break

I am so excited for Christmas break and one of the reasons is so that I can get my blog all caught up. I have two weeks off, 16 days total including weekends. Sure, some of that will be filled with holidays, traditions, and celebrating. Lots of that will be filled with taking care of the kids, and our new puppy, but surely I can squeeze in some time to work on my huge list of projects.

Top of my list is getting this blog caught up. I have a goal to get everything updated BEFORE Christmas. So then I will have time to post Christmas and the end of the year stuff so I can be ready to work on my BLOG BOOK! I am so excited to do my 2nd edition. The main reason I am doing a blog is to publish all my posts into a hardbound book as a keepsake and record for my family, replacing my scrapbooking. Last year's turned out great! (Not very cutesy or fancy, just plain and simple. The important thing is that it had all my posts and all my pictures from 2009. DONE, in a book.)

I usually get really excited for any holiday or break from school before it happens, but once it gets here, I start stressing out. I start worrying that I won't get everything done that I really want or need to get done. So far, we are three days into our 16 day break, and I am not stressed out yet. I think because I have a full week before Christmas and a full week after. Soooo nice! Wish me luck on getting everything done as well as enjoying the holiday with my family.
