I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but there is never a good time to go away! Sure it was a great get-away and a much needed one at that, but holy geez I feel caught in a whirlwind. My mind is racing with everything I have to do and wondering when I'm going to get to do it. I know, I know...story of my life. The best way to explain how I'm feeling is reaching up but never making it out of the muddle. I am not on top of things and I hate that.
Today we started to decorate for Christmas. We finished one tree and one room. I have never been this late getting ready. After getting the lights on the tree, I let the kids decorate it all by themselves! I am so proud of myself. I have been good too, I have not even adjusted their arrangements. There are cluttered areas and empty areas and even if it's bugging me I'm not changing it!
On a different note:
While I was away I got to spend some quality time with my sister, my brother and sister in-law, my grandmother, my brother and his family, my mom, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, nieces, nephews, and sister and brother in-law.
I made a pit stop in Ontario and spent a great day with Margie who I felt I related to on so many levels. It is so reassuring to interact with a family that resembles your own in so many ways.
Spent my last day at my old stompin' grounds in Mississauga and, although I am sometimes very much grieving through change, I was able to fully store the experiences in my memory bank and move on. When I arrived in Calgary I was both relieved and happy. I was sooo glad to be home with my immediate and extended family at South Meadows.

We are glad you are back too.
I would have a hard time not arranging the tree after the kids had be to it. Sheesh you have more will power than me. That must have made them so happy though.
It is only because I have my own to decorate hee hee!
Two trees is a great idea!
Good to know that you are back in the grind. You will soon feel un-muddled!
my decorating is well under way, i can't believe you were in mississauga, you must have been that blur i saw race by.
But we are still aloud to miss you!
I loved the time together!
Congrats on setting up your tree! And I too don't like the empty spots in my tree...but I'm not doing a thing about it! I'm done decorating!!!
