A Glimpse: Christmas is Finally Over...For Me That Is....

I have finally finished Christmas of 2008! But you say...Tara isn't March 5th, 2009? Shouldn't you have been done as of December of 2008?

Well, the past 5 months have been kinda hectic for me! In October my best friend Sara got married! (Also the same day...magical moment...)! We raced home after the wedding and it was back to life...Homeschooling, Church, extracurricular activities. At the end of October we found out that magical moment we had resulted in Baby#4 which explained my lack of energy and constant nausea! At this point we move into November of 2008 which Hannah's progress report was due, getting ready for the Christmas Musical with the Choir, and Thanksgiving! So much to do, so little time and thanks to my first trimester so little energy! The first part of December was race back to Va for my brother's wedding which I was the photographer for. Once that was over it was race back home and get caught up on the days of homeschooling we missed. By now the morning sickness is at its worst! Also when we got home we discovered that our computer was acting funny! So we took it in and come to find out we had tons of trojans and viruses! So needless to say we were without our computer for 3 weeks! SO by the time I had a chance to breathe it was Christmas! Papa John and Uncle Dwayne were in town! I literally shopped for them and the kids on Dec 23rd! Christmas came and went and then New Years came and went. Then it was time for Hannah's B-day, then Lilly's B-day, then Lucas' B-day! Now we are already into February! So now its time to work on brother's pictures of his wedding. Finish that and send to printer! In the mean time my husband has given me some projects to do for the Naval Hospital! Did I mention this is all going on amongst the daily task of homeschooling and extracurricular activities? Oh and then I started watching the neighbor's kid on Tuesday nights! Then it was time to work on the kids Awana Derby Cars! That race took place this past weekend! Which was March 1st! So today is March 5th and I have finally mailed off the rest of the family Xmas presents and the wedding pictures and the 100 Xmas newsletters/Xmas cards! Christmas is now over...YEAH!

Guess I better start working on Christmas 2009 if I continue to go at this rate...Oh wait did I mention that I have for the most part finished my Christmas Card for 2009...Hey maybe I am getting back to my old self again! We will see how long that lasts especially when that "magical moment" arrives in June!

Here enjoy some pics from Christmas....
