Brief

The mundane details of my life are not worth writing about, but as an FYI I was traveling for work this week and spent most of my time in very long meetings with few, and not long enough, breaks in between.

Today I am hosting a consultant for one of my clients so I will be shuttling him around town (actually to one place but still).

I have a cold I can't shake, a cough that is just often enough to keep people away but staring with very angry eyes, dear AF is due any time so I'm exhausted as all get out, and I find myself just wishing I didn't have to pull out the holiday crap and decorate my pig-sty of a house this weekend.

I can't believe that Christmas is in two weeks. TWO WEEKS.

Ugh.

I am sorry you're feeling so down. Christmas is the hardest of the holidays, I think. So much of it revolves around children, and if you're like me, you've spent your life - every holiday to date, in fact - imagining what it will be like with children of your own to share it with. May this be the last holiday season we spend without our children.

Sending hugs and bloggy love your way.

i am not too thrilled about the prospect of christmas either.. maybe becuase we are squandering away all of our money to save for the adoption (which means no spoiling each other). my only highlight is that i bought a few people sum "as seen on tv" merchandise because i think it will be really funny to see their expression when opening a snuggie!

Boy...two weeks is really soon. I guess I didn't put that into perspective until now. Christmas is really hard when waiting for a child...we have done it now for so many years, you think it would get easier...but it doesn't. I get two four-day weekends (one at Christmas and one at New Years), so I am holding on to that.

First, I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather, but glad that he is now at peace. My grandfather is also suffering from Alzheimer's and it's just awful to watch. He's still in the middle stage of it but we can see it getting worse - he didn't even remember that I was pregnant or delivered twin sons two weeks ago. :( Ah, such is life...

Christmas can be a tough time of year when you're waiting. I remember the feeling all too well and empathize with how you're feeling. I hope that this is your last Christmas without your baby. A lot can happen in a year's time, right? Sending much love.
