Décor

I spent the whole day today tidying and cleaning, and then getting out and setting up Christmas decorations. It made me very sad to see how messy things still were, and how much that dampened the effect of the Christmas decorations. But I did the best I could with the time and energy and circumstances available to me. If I weren’t also being a full-time Mom, I could have slept well the ten months beforehand, and I could have had both the energy and the ability to tidy up all the rest of the stuff, too. But I was and am exhausted, and I had a baby getting into everything all day long and then she required me to carry her around for the majority of the evening and into the night, as I kept working. So, only so much got done.

I hope it brightens my days as I had hoped it would, and I hope my husband enjoys it. Especially despite the mess of everything else… I’m really concerned about all of that. It really messes with the effect of the Christmas décor. ::big sigh
