once a month

wow, i've posted at least once a month for the past few! new record!
am i feeling overwhelmed! i've had our "prelit" tree up for a week now, and i just finished replacing lights for the second year in a row! it's six years old this year, i think. ugh. my youngest was thrilled when he woke up this morning. we can finally decorate it tonight! he says, "yeah!", i say, "ugh".
friends over tomorrow. crazy day sunday, but that's okay. such is the season.
