Too Many Lists, Can’t Do a Countdown

I had the thought of doing a “X# of days until Christmas” series of posts, but I can’t be bothered, haha! All I know is that its SOON!! Does anyone else’s island look like this the entire month of December??

I hate how messy our island gets. Its actually a pretty wicked source of frustration for me, and in the last few months, I’ve been able to keep it managed, and I’ve been a bit more of a stickler of what lives on it and what doesn’t. But that is ALL out the window in December because I need to do things with pretty much ALL of that stuff. They’re all good things, don’t get me wrong! Christmas cards, a beautiful speciality candy cane advent calendar, chocolate to pass out, gifts to give, broken ornaments to glue back together, a stack of notes and lists, aaaaaand do you see my dehydrator?! Someone GAVE it to me as a beautiful gift, and I have a few small plans of things to try before Christmas hits! Eek!

So far today, I took this little nug to school…

and bought a stack of stamps. Stamps have been applied and envelopes are sealed. I’m going to run those back and drop them off when I go pick her back up.

She’ll come home and lunch and nap. I have a counselling appointment this afternoon. I’m expecting a parcel to be delivered sometime today also. I have to feed everyone something, sometime. I definitely need to make a grocery list. And I have a giant hamper of socks and underwear staring at me right this moment, but I’m thinking I’ll leave that one for the kids to sort out after school.

Never a shortage. Ever.

Hopefully we get our local Christmas cards delivered really soon! Whooooo did what I said and got a mailbox?? 🙋🏼‍♀️
