So, I'm being haunted by the ghost of Christmas future...every year I think "gee, I will be a Mom by NEXT year and things will be wonderful THEN." Truth be told, things are wonderful now. I love my husband passionately and am thankful for our time together. Like yesterday when the PILL was making my BP go up, after a hour of snuggling with my cuddle bum, it was 121/82!!!! This man works MAGIC on me--truly.
But, this same man is the opposite of my hermit self--Mr. Social. So, that leads to many a people engagement compromise. Take this upcoming Sunday for instance. We're having a "holiday open house" at our house. Just the idea is enough to make me quiver in my boots. It's not so much that I don't enjoy it once it gets here, its just all the WORK it takes to get there. The house has to be cleaned, the yard neatened, snacks and appetizers picked, ordered or made, etc. Geesh, being a hermit is all the easier, but alas my hubby isn't convinced. I think if it weren't for me, he'd send out a blanket invitation to everyone he knows and even to those he doesn't really know and he'd hope that they ALL come by next Sunday. Meanwhile, I calculate how deep the hole needs to be that I can hide in.
Aren't the holidays fun....
