...........
I can't believe it's only thursday. For some reason I have woken up every day this week thinking to myself "it's gotta be at least thursday", but to my dismay realize that it isn't. I don't have any huge plans for the weekend that I'm really anticipating, nor has this week been any worse than the rest, but for some reason it just seems like it will never end.
I've been living in this "thursday dreamworld" now for the last 3 days and so you'd think I'd be happy when I woke up this morning and realized that it FINALLY was Thursday, but really I'm just dissapointed because now I just want to it be Friday.
Does anyone else's mind work like this, because sometimes I'm starting to feel like I'm insane!
Anyway....on to other topics. Holiday shopping.
Another reason I feel like i'm going crazy is because for the last week or so I've really been stressing out about my Christmas shopping. Yep....I do realize that it's just November 7th. No need to remind me. Let me preface by saying that I know Christmas isn't about gifts. I just didn't want ya'll to think that I'm really as shallow as I sound.
Now that we've got that taken care of....I just don't get why I'm stressing out. Normally I kind of do my Christmas shopping at the last minute and then stress out about getting all the gifts to my family in the mail and to them in Montana by Christmas time. All that stress is unnecessary and really just because of poor planning on my part. Regardless though, I'm thinking about it NOW, and am stressing about getting this crap in the mail - almost 2 months before it has to be there. What is wrong with me?
I am one of those people that get REALLY annoyed to hear Christmas music or to see anything that has to do with Christmas in the stores before Thanksgiving. Every year it seems like Christmas seems to come earlier and earlier for all these retailers wanting to make lots of money. I remember walking into Costco a few weeks ago and hearing the Christmas music blaring while people were just barely getting ready for Halloween.
All that is to say I'm not sure why I'm stresssing about Christmas this year. Literally every day I find myself thinking about who I need to get Christmas gifts for and what they'd like. I feel so pitiful and don't know why I'm thinking about this. I'm acting like the kind of people that I like to mock. Is it just because I'm getting older? Is this normal? I can't figure it out.
I think part of it may be just being married to Steve. I've always been somewhat of a planner, but he is totally NOT at all. He likes to fly by the seat of his pants, lacks follow thru, and half the time doesn't even know who we got a gift for and what it was. Could it just be REALLY overcompensating for his lack of planning when it comes to this stuff? I've never been like this until I got married. I would like to think of myself as healthy planner.....you know the kind that plan and like details, but not too much where it's unhealthy and you don't freak out if plans happen to change? Now though, with this whole Christmas planning feeling I'm starting to feel like a real pyscho planner stressing out about Christmas gifts and details with our schedule when Thanksigivng is still weeks away.
Anyway...so those are the pitiful thoughts running through my mind on this fine Thursday, nope, not Friday yet....still just Thurssday.
