Um, What Happened to November?
You know your life is moving too fast when you look up and realize you've basically lost an entire month! I looked at the calendar today and did a double take. Whaddya mean it's December already? Holy Crap, didn't we just do trick or treat last week?
I think it's just because work has been so insanely busy, but time seems to be flying by at light speed and I seem to be losing entire weeks at a time without 5 uninterrupted minutes to call my own - yikes!
I've had about 9 months now of crazy-busy work days and I'm getting pretty tired of it. Work was a little too quiet at the beginning of the year, and I spent a lot of time poking around on the Internet and taking long lunches, but then it swung back the other way and I feel like I'm constantly rushing through 3 things at once just so I can get to 3 other things that I should have done about a week ago. That got old about six months ago, but I don't see it letting up any time soon.
Then I come home and my husband who just had shoulder surgery, is bored from sitting around all day and wants someone to talk to. And then he still needs help getting cleaned up, dressed, fixing meals, etc. And he's cranky because his shoulder hurts and he can't sleep well because he has to sleep in the recliner. Bless his heart, shoulder surgery is the worst!
Blessedly, I do have some vacation time next week. I call it my Christmas Sanity Week. I save a week or so of my vacation time to do all my decorating, shopping, wrapping and mailing my out of town gifts, etc. It's just too crazy even for me to try and do that on top of a 10 hour work day. But before I get to my vacation time, I sort of volunteered to make some cards for the Troops with my group at work. Well, not just some cards - 100 of them to be exact. By Friday. Hmmmm. Fortunately, I've got a few volunteers to help me, but still 100 of them? Yes, that's the Crazy part of Adrian's Crazy Life!
And tomorrow I've got a social media event with T-Mobile. And a Scout meeting. At the same time. Hmmmm. And my husband can't drive yet. Hmmmm. Think I'm going to have to do the drop and run maneuver at the Scout meeting, cuz I'm not about to miss the T-Mobile party. There's going to be food, friends, nice prizes, just my idea of a fun social media event! And then there's the white elephant party on Thursday with the rest of my social media buddies.... And Friday I'm triple booked - Scout flag ceremony, hand out hats & gloves to the homeless (that one was my idea, so I can't get out of it), and then the youth group is going skating at the other end of town at the same time. It's Blake's favorite (because that's where all the cute girls hang out) so I'm sure he'll talk me into it. Remember that movie Duplicity? I think that's what I need, to clone myself or something. But then I'd need an extra car too.
Oh and did you have a happy Thanksgiving? We did too, although it was a quiet dinner with just the four of us and Matt's girlfriend. But "Lefty" and I managed to make a nice turkey with all the trimmings (did I mention that he's our main cook? That's been a hard one as I can make about three dishes. Maybe four...) Fortunately, he gets his sling off this week, but he still can't lift more than a few ounces with his bad arm. If someone ever says the words Rotator Cuff Surgery to you - run. Fast. Unless your arm is falling off your body, you do NOT want to do this one.
Anyway, all this is to say that I feel bad that I've been neglecting my poor blog so badly this month. I looked at my posts were lower this month than they've EVER been before in my five years of blogging, but I hope people understand that my heart is pure, my intentions are honorable, but my life is just too full of crazy right now to get the job done!
