We've had a really crazy week.
Saturday: Christmas shopping for the angel tree, wrapping and delivering those presents, attempt at going to a carnival which turned out to be lame.
Sunday: a regular day at Church. Samantha got to be baby Jesus for the Primary's special sharing time.
Monday: Went over to the Packards' for dinner. It was a lot of fun, but I feel inadequate when it comes to my sewing and decorating skills because their house is so nice. Everybody has their weaknesses and shortcomings, but it's a lot easier to see mine right now and feel like everyone else is perfect. I spent some time with Lewis making bread for Joseph's school project.
Tuesday: James took Joseph out for some one-on-one time. Joseph chose to get a hot dog at the gas station. Sometimes, it's really easy to make kids happy.
Wednesday: I took Katie shopping with me so we could spend time together and get her some new leggings. Are all kids really rough on their clothes, or is it just mine? She bought some slime with her own money and I HATE IT. Never let your kids buy slime unless you want to be annoyed for the rest of your life.
Today: Rex arrives for work, so we will probably hang out and maybe swim at the hotel pool. We will all eat dinner together here.
I guess I'm more stressed about guests than I thought, but that only hit me in the past few days, not months ago. I haven't thought of a good neighbor gift, and we leave town just a few days after everyone leaves from here. I want everything to go smoothly, but hosting parties and traveling are both big, stressful things. Despite that, it should be fun too.
