I love when I read fellow moms' stories about trying to keep it real and not pretending things are perfect at Holiday time. It's a challenge this season for sure!!

However in our house I think it's going to be the dumb dog who accomplishes the feat. Every day he tries to sneak into the corner behind the tree and ends up SPINNING it until he pulls the lights right out of the socket. He's knocked several branches down (artificial tree) but somehow the whole thing hasn't come toppling onto him yet. I almost wish it would, to scare him straight!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00004858570529491494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-63971966399806566702013-12-05T14:06:00.617-05:002013-12-05T14:06:00.617-05:00Holy cow Andrew is talented!

Those will be the days I plan on cleaning and putting every piece of crap, oops, I mean Christmas decorations away. I have decided that being 42 and pregnant with baby number 5 is just really, really hard. I have a day or two where I feel good but then more days where I have zero energy. I think my second trimester pop of energy might not be so poppy this time around. I have to keep my focus right and say one million times a day, "I am grateful, I am grateful, I am grateful"...this is a tough time of year!!!!
