The week from heck!

This week just seemed to be more hectic than usual. I blame the time of the year. December has always seemed like a whirlwind and life seems to throw a few curve balls just to make it more interesting. My workload has increased at work due to Christmas decorating and cards that must be sent. Christmas parties have the executives out of the office and their work is left unfinished on their desks which means longer hours spent at the computer for me. I'm looking forward to Christmas this year because I've scheduled the week off WAY back in January. This is my first BIG vacation and I'm taking it at home with my kids. It'll be crazy, but I can get up, make toaster waffles and hot cocoa and we can snuggle and watch Christmas movies. My hubby has been given Christmas eve off and Christmas day which is wonderful. He will likely have a make up day, but I will love all the family time.

I did my workouts this week, Mon, a partial on Tues, Wed, Thurs and Fri. I ate well and I have had a few nice weigh ins. Here is today's

I'm so absolutely excited about this! I'm 3 lbs away from my 90 lb weigh in goal. 3! I can do this before Christmas I swear! I actually joked with my husband this morning that the only thing that would make me feel better would be a good weigh in, but that I'd probably have to lop off a limb. Glad I didn't cut that arm off after all! 

This coming week will be even more hectic and I have a funeral to attend. I'm very sad to see this person go, but his quality of life over the last several years had gone down hill and that's more difficult to see. The showing is Sunday, funeral mass and burial are Monday. I have work as usual on Monday and either Monday or Tuesday I have a TON of make up work in accounting. Thank goodness I got my work done Friday night and blew off my Friday Free Write. I have over 300 corporate Christmas cards to address and send off and I'm sure the executive secretary will want it done Monday. It shouldn't take more than an hour or so, but Monday is my day to take care of the finish division paperwork from the weekend and so now Tuesday will be worse. I try to think of my job as a balancing act. Each job is just another ball that I have to keep in the air until it's done. 

I'm looking forward to some family time this weekend. I think Grace is going to be gone tonight but I'm sure that her trip out on Sunday is canceled due to the funeral. I just hope that the next few weeks don't cause a stress binge eating spree. Food is my go to comfort item. Fingers crossed y'all! I want that Pandora bead. It's a Christmas pinecone and it's already been bought for me. Shows how much faith these family members have in me doesn't it? ;)
