Weekend musings
First let me say that I am very sleepy this morning. For some reason I didn't get to sleep till after 11:30 last night, then I woke up at about 10 till 5:00, and couldn't go back to sleep. :( So I got up, as planned, at 5:30 to exercise. I'm SO glad I actually got up and exercised. Finally! Have you ever felt tired and energized at the same time? That's how I felt when I was exercising (with Richard Simmons haha) but now I just feel tired. Moving on... :)
Friday is upon us once again. Who besides me is astonished that Christmas was 4 days ago? What happened? Well, my tree is still up, and I really hadn't made plans to take it down this weekend...bleh. That is such a drudge job to me. Its really fun to decorate and get in the spirit, but taking it all down is...depressing...dreary....ech. But it'll be a long weekend (yay!) so we'll see.
I'm going a little bit crazy with all the new presents the kids recieved. They want it ALL put together. Right now. "Please?" haha. I'm trying to watch my new DVD's kids! Give me a break! No just kidding. We've got most of their stuff put together, except for this one colossal Spiderman bath toy (really a POOL toy) that I don't even want to *think* of tackling until I've had 9 hours of sleep, a good meal, and then another nap. It's not as bad as I make it sound I guess. It just looks a little complicated and odd for my amateur putting-stuff- together skills. Jessie's the pro at that stuff. But I'm getting better. Goodness knows I've had enough practice in the past week!
Other than putting together the bath/pool toy and possibly coaxing myself into taking down a few Christmas decorations, we don't have much planned this weekend. There has been talk of going bowling (fun!) but I don't know if we are or not yet. Staying home ALL weekend sounds so so nice to me right now. We have games, movies..the kids have new toys...we are well stocked in the entertainment area. Plus there's my couch, my favorite blanket and my bed...it just keeps sounding better! I don't know about fireworks either. I like fireworks as much as anyone, but after Jessie set the grass on fire a few years ago and scared me out of 10 years growth, I prefer to go somewhere else and watch them. So we'll see..hope everyone else has a great weekend. :)

I know exactly what you mean. I cannot stand taking down the Christmas decorations. I have mine all boxed up now, but the boxes are still in the house! It's just such a mess.
Your weekend plans sound just like mine. Staying home and resting seems like a perfect way to spend a long weekend. Also taking down the decorations (double ugh!)

Since reading "anonymous' comment", sounds like your hating-to-take-the-decorations-down may be inherited. I personally love it! I do it the 26th, because I LOVE New Year and I want to 'Start Anew' as early as possible after Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas too, but for me, once it's over - it's over. And I don't want to have all that stuff crowding my house anymore! Funny how we're all different!
