The tree is up as are most of the decorations and Noodlebug is loving it. I connected the tree lights to a foot button on/off switch and the first thing Noodle does in the morning is to run and push the button to turn on the tree lights.
I have all the materials for my handmade gifts but I can't muster the energy or enthusiasm to make anything. As soon as Noodlebug goes to bed, I tell myself I'm going to get out the sewing machine but then I just end up sitting on the couch watching the REAL HOUSEWIVES. (I'm not proud of that but, for some strange reason, watching those shows makes me feel better about my life)

I hope things will get better soon. It is hard to get in the Christmas mood if you have worries like that. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Our family has been hit hard too in the work area the last couple of years. something is coming your way, i just know it!!
keep your priorities straight, and always, ALWAYS, repeat to yourself ALL the things you are thankful for. even down to the littlest things (i.e. warm water, a car, birds singing)
you're in my prayers!! -emily
