Help me get my *you know what* together! I feel like I should have all my Christmas shopping done by now, but I haven't done ANY of it! You'd think I would have all this time to do it, being a sahm, but I can't seem to find any time during the day. I have all these grand ideas of what to get everybody but for some reason it's not coming together. I want to give my mom and MIL a photobook of Jacob, something you can make online and it's really neat but it's driving me crazy trying to figure out which pictures to put where. I also am trying to buy my DH some pants online because he is a special size, extra-tall but I can't figure that out either. I don't want to stress over this. I love the Christmas holidays and spending time w/family but I'm starting to lose it. I'm worrying about what to get everybody and getting it all on time. Why do I do this to myself!?

I find myself much more ambitious now and I always want to do these grand projects.

Hi Jenny,
It will be ok! I haven't started my shopping either - unless you call calling my dad and asking him to pick out some shirts for my husband shopping! LOL! So you are not alone. I know this time of year can be stressful - but try to step back, take a deep breath, and remember - it's all about enjoying times with friends and family. The presents are just icing on the cake!
I'm sure everyone will love what you get them - so don't stress sweetie. It will all come together in the end!

Hugs,
K

You have got some good advice from the other ladies...I just wanted to send you some (hugs). I too have tons of stuff to do and feel like there is not enough time to do it in. I am just making a daily list and doing a little at a time. It feels good to cross even one thing out on my list.
