Time To Remove The Tree

Today, I finally took down my Christmas tree. I figured three weeks after Christmas was just about the right time.  It always seems to me that the holiday decorations go up more quickly then taking them down.  And every year  the task of taking down these decorations appears more daunting of a task.

Perhaps next year I will put up less decorations to make it easier come the month of January.  However, with this being said I probably will not take my own advice and will have my place looking like Santa’s Village once again next December.

Heat

This year I don’t have to guess what to purchase to give to my dad on Father’s Day. I have already found a great website with an awesome selection of Heat Guns, Soldering Irons and Hot Knives to pick from to order for him. Now I just have to decide on which one to actually purchase. Father’s Day is only a few short weeks away so I better hurry up and pick one. I’m sure he would love any of them.

Went off without a hitch

Of course it did, because I planned it all. Our Memorial Weekend festivities were amazing as always. Two days of fun in the sun and one day of down time to recuperate. The last day I HAD to have after all of the work I did putting it all together.

We spent Saturday at the local park that has a skate park and various other entertainments available for the kids and adults. There was live music playing, so I figured it would be a great place for us to all get together. Of course I had to get up a five am to be there by six am and make sure we got a good spot near the bandstand. I was able to even get a pavilion for us.

Sunday we all went out on the boats, and jet ski’s. We had a spot along the river where we BBQ’d and enjoyed ourselves immensely. A good time was had by all.

Monday I didn’t bother to get out of my pj’s and told everyone that they were on their own for breakfast and lunch. We had plenty of left over’s to use for dinner, so I was able to just heat up that stuff with a minimum of effort.

I told me sister that the next holiday weekend is HER’S to coordinate. I want to relax and have fun like everyone else without being a military Sargent the whole time. Good luck sis!

(it actually took me most of the week to recuperate) lol

Coordinating everyone is a pain

I am not sure how it always come to me to coordinate all of our family holiday weekend activities, but it does. When did the scepter pass from my mother to me? I am sure that I did not ask for this, let alone agree to take it. Somewhere along the way, I was tricked into it I am sure.

I thought perhaps it was because I have to coordinate with my in-laws, but that can’t be it. I know this because I end up having to coordinate with my siblings in-laws, as well as my hubby’s sibling’s in-laws. WTH? I am sure there is an evil little leprechaun somewhere laughing his butt off. -.-

Pre-Holiday Season

I love this time of year when people are just beginning to think about the Holiday Season. The last minute “I need to find the perfect gift” panic hasn’t kicked in yet, and people are leisurely putting up Christmas lights, door wreaths, and yard decorations. The weather has been mild lately, allowing a comfortable experience to decorate outside.

Unfortunately, before we know it, it will be panic and crunch time. People’s patience will be tested, their tempers short, and manners all but forgotten. Folks will be pushed and shoved waiting in lines, and probably more than a few toes stepped on. All of this insanity for a few minutes of opening gifts on Christmas morning.

I think it’s too bad that instead of one day, we can’t have Holiday week, allowing more time to relax and enjoy our family and friends.
