The Holidays...and Hope

I know this holiday season will be busy-crazy-fun. It already has started. In our nest alone, we've been through 4 birthdays since September. That leaves one more -- lil' ol' me -- in December. My son's bday party is Saturday, and my daughter's baby naming is 3 days after Thanksgiving. We have family coming from out of town and I'm no where near having the house in the shape I would like. Oh, well.

I hope I remain calm, cool and collected over the coming months, and not react under stress with my kids. I hope my hubby gets a job soon, (and has a short commute). I hope I have the willpower to eat all of the wonderful holiday treats in moderation this season, and lose some of that baby weight once and for all! I hope I get a massage for my birthday! I hope for peace in the Middle East.
