Its that time of year again where the holiday spirit is starting to take shape. Turkeys, shades of orange, green and red, and holiday music playing in all the stores. I love this part of the year but for some reason I am just not feeling it this year. I am looking forward to indulging in the food and family but just the hustle and bustle of it all has me in the dumps. Maybe because I am broke this year. I have so much that is going on this holiday season and the only thing that I can think about is waking up Christmas morning in my new home. My girls are looking forward to the season and I am looking forward to seeing their little faces as well. I just hope that it is all under my own roof.
So now that I am living with my mother for the time being I know that I will be up just as long as she is, cooking. I wanted to make my little dish and contribute to the Thanksgiving feast but it looks as if I'll be in there elbow deep tomorrow night. I know that I need to get in the rhythm of doing that anyways because I need to start cooking for my own family for the holidays but DANGIT, I AIN'T FEELING IT THIS YEAR.
I must say that I have so much to be thankful for and I try to hold on to that feeling, but when I think of all the work that is involves, I just think about pulling the covers over my head until someone screams for me to come and eat. I am assuming that the pressures of the house and being exhaustingly (not sure if that is a word or not, but it is perfect for this situation)ready to move have finally taken its toll on me. But in the meantime I will grin and bear it. Happy Thanksgiving!
