Seasonal Highs and Lows

Highs

The Christingle Service - the children were all adorable.  There aren't many young children in our church but they all put so much enthusiasm in to their Christingle Service, it was a joy.

Boxes - which translates as our container finally arriving and being delivered.  I have my things!

School Christmas Services - today.  KS1 with Harriet at 10:00am and KS2 with Katarina at 10:45am.  Harriet hasn't slept well the last 2 nights through sheer excitement over her acting debut.  That girl is a born actress.  Katarina was a little more subdued, mainly I feel because she didn't really have an active role in her assembly and that it was a lot more low key, some poems, some readings and carols.  Richard and I appreciate what a great school our girls attend.

Doughnuts - I had a jam one with my coffee this morning.  Yum!

Crops - if I'm lucky and get myself organised, a chance to scrap all day on Saturday, to meet some new friends and get some quiet(ish) 'me' time.

Lows

Boxes - too many in too small a space.  Did I ever tell you I get claustrophobic?

Christmas Cards - I haven't written any yet.  I've received some, which is amazing considering that I haven't even properly got my backside in gear and told everyone our new address, but I have yet to write even one.  I've made them, well over 30 or so anyway, just need to find 5 to sit down and write them.

Boxes - too many in too small a space!  It's driving me crazy... I feel like I repeat myself...

Flu - recovering from but too slowly for me, especially at this time in the year when I feel I have so much to do.
