I *Might* Be Insane

November 6, 2009

This is so very, very sad, but I simply can’t help it.

Each morning, it begins — these thoughts that take over my brain, consuming my day.  I think on it while taking care of my kids, imagining the worst possibilities and how they, my sweet babies, would be affected.

Last night, after Mr. Boy’s 3:30 AM diaper change, I couldn’t go back to sleep thanks to thoughts that kept swirling round and round and round my sleep deprived brain.  Did I have all I needed to be prepared?  Should I go to the store and start stocking up on the essentials?  Will Hubby be around for all that needs to done?  Will my children be safe during this time?  How do I know when I’ve done enough to prepare?

Yes.  3:30 AM.  Thought after thought.  Question after question.  All because it’s the first week of November, which means . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I.  Am.  Ready.  To.  Start.  Decorating.  For.  CHRISTMAS!!!!
 (isn’t it just so sad!)

 Yesterday, I spent HOURS mentally cataloging my trees (yes, plural), ornaments, nutcrackers, and general decorations.  I researched stocking patterns, as I’ve decided that THIS year I am making personalized stockings.  I even began making a list of the sweets and goodies that I want to make (mmmmm . . .Divinity and Toffee!).

Please, someone — ANYONE — tell me that I’m not the only one!
