NBR: Holidays and FB

The holidays can be/are stressful for the best of us.  I have a peeve.  It'll pass I know, but I have to get it off my chest.  Every time that I go on FB right now I seem to see some of the same people "doing" an incredible amount of various Christmas events/things.  I couldn't even imagine keeping up to this, nor do I feel inclined to try.  I am just tired right now and feeling like I just want to stay still and rest, but can't.  I have to pack dd up and go get a last addition to a present for my 10 yr old niece that I forgot yesterday :(  My peeve is that when reading thing after thing after thing that the same few people are doing on FB (such as baking this, or making that, or being at such and such event one moment and a different one the next), it rises up that instinct to be in competition with the "Jones" so to speak..then I have to stifle it and get back to reality that I don't want to be that busy and am busy enough.  I'm just feeling annoyed and like I can't keep up.  Since when did I start trying to, hey?  lol...

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.  Smile  I've pretty much taken a hiatus from FB because of that.

What? You don't have time to bake ten thousand cookies, go see Santa 30 times, carol with the neighbors and have people over to your house everyday? Jeez!

Me too :]

I've been baking my asss off but it's because I'm a baker, it's what I do.  Also, everyone is getting baked goods baskets from us this year (with a framed picture of DS and a jar of homemade jam and cakepops).  As for running around and doing different events, I have no time for that.  I've got that insane first trimester exhaustion going on so I'm just trying to get through the day!

MIL is coming for Christmas Eve and Christmas so baking is keeping me from having a meltdown.  She is an evil she beast.

Keep up with this, FB super moms: today I plan to drink some coffee, wash (and fold) no less than 1 load of laundry, and play with DS. If I can get some vacuuming done too, I'll consider the day an A+. Oh, and I already showered. I rock!

LMAO.

I started a new job two weeks ago...I am just glad that DH and I finished our Christmas shopping before that.
