Finally - the weekend!

I love the holidays, but I feel like I am going non-stop most of the time! I am so very glad it's the weekend, and there is no wrestling! Christian is happy to not have to be up at 5:00 and at school at 6:00 for the bus.... Heck, I am happy not to have to be up at 5:00 dragging a tired kid out of bed to get to school and catch the bus!

Alas, we have lots to do tomorrow. The Christmas lights are still in boxes next to the front door to be hung around the front of the house. We got rope lights to go around the adobe planters in the front yard and the old school big lights to go on the house. I hope we have enough! I have a couple of strings of blue icicle lights that we might put somewhere - don't know where yet... I'd like to go back to the store and get green rope lights and do the trunks of the palm trees. It would be really cool to do the branches, but I don't think I can talk anyone into getting on the ladder to do that... I'm not a big fan of being up on a ladder, so if it's up to me, it's not getting done.

And two more weeks of work then vacation! I am so ready for a break and I'm looking forward to seeing the family. I never look forward to the drive with the baby, but I'm hoping for the best. We haven't done a long car trip for a while, so I hope she'll handle it pretty well. She's doesn't love the car seat after she's had to be in it for a while. It might take a lot longer than 6 hours to get to San Diego - yikes!

Ah yes - the weekend. It's here, but I have a feeling it's going to go by way too fast!
