Weekly Thoughts:
Wow, this week has been a constant run, I’ve never had such a packed week of holiday activities! We actually did both our Christmas diner and the cutting of the Christmas tree on the same day! Talk about hectic…
This will be the last year that I rush all of our traditions together. After all, it’s suppose to be enjoyable, not a chore!

Closing Thoughts:
Since I had a horrible headache while doing the first version of this post, I decided to keep it brief this week, so no analysis of the post I linked to!
-MR
Yes, this week was extremely packed for me too. It did not consist but only 1 holiday activity though
Oh well. Thanks for including my net worth post!
Next week doesn’t sound much better either!
The sooner you get things done, the less stressful it becomes! Thanks for the mention!
Hope you had a great week!
This time of year is ALWAYS so busy, no matter how hard I try to plan. At this point I just go with it and try not to stress too much.
BC powder will really help that headache:)
Thanks for the suggestion! I hate to take too much over the counter medicine
Enjoyable? Humbug! I prefer hectic… Okay, maybe not so much. Thanks for the mention!
np, hope your weekend was a great one!
It was, thank you!
I have had a headache since yesterday morning MR – I feel your pain!
Feel better, and thanks for the link.
Thanks
Hope you had a great week!
I had a week from hell, so it was nice to finally have some rest on the weekend. None of my activities were Christmas related. Only work…
Thank you for including Beaker’s article.
Your “Beaker” article was motivational! Good for you husband for breaking out of his rut!
I hope your headache gets better!
Thanks for the link
I agree, this time of year is hectic and stressful, but it really shouldn’t be. There’s just so much to do but so little time to do it in..
Yep, and once kids enter the picture, it’s constant running…
At least we can enjoy it now though!
Hey, thanks a lot for linking to my fridge
Pots and pans, and pantry coming up
Thanks for including my post! Whew! It has indeed been quite a rush this week! I had 4 finals/final papers in my graduate school program, and 3 holiday parties on top of that! crazy times!
