Christmas is coming!

Christmas is coming!! I can't believe how close it is and how much I still need to get done. It's all a bit overwhelming and I'm running out of time very quickly. I did get lots done over the weekend but there is still lots to do. I have not even started my Christmas baking yet and that's going to be a few days in my kitchen to get all that done. I am baking for other people as well as my family. I've really got to get started on that soon. I didn't get much sleep last night because I was thinking about the holidays and what I want to get done before the end of this week. My kids are out of school on Friday and there are a few things that I want to do while I still have my days free. I had a very nice long weekend with Anakin. He was off work on Friday and we spent almost the whole day in bed. We played and fucked and had orgasms and cuddled close. I'm really glad that we had that time together. It felt heavenly. I was very relaxed afterwords and had a sore bum too from the play time on the darkside. He gave me a long strapping with his belt which was needed. We had some family time too and watched Elf with our kids on Friday night. Saturday was Breakfast with Santa. I tried to convince the teen to come but she wanted to sleep in. lol. So we took Skywalker and enjoyed some pancakes with Santa Clause. My FIL even came to it so we could visit. It is still strange not having my MIL at events. We are all still adjusting to the new family dynamic. I miss her so much and have been thinking about her a lot. Today is the 3 year anniversary since Anakin's grandma passed away. Who would have thought that 3 years later and my MIL is gone now as well as my Dad. There is many people who will be missed a lot this year during the holidays. We went to Metrotown Mall to do some christmas shopping with the kids after Breakfast with Santa. We spent most of the afternoon there. There is so many neat things there that you can't get anywhere else. I'm excited to see what Lush goodies that I will be getting this year. Metrotown wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be. It was good to get a lot of neat things that you can't buy at our local mall. I wish I could say that I'm done my shopping but we still have a few places to go. I still need to get to Pet Smart and go shopping for my kitty. It's her birthday on Christmas eve and we still need to get her a gift for that as well as a Christmas present. My mom and I are going shopping in the States today to get some neat stuff that you can't find in Canada. I also have a big grocery shopping trip to buy supplies for the Christmas dinner and holidays. I admit that I still have not bought Anakin a gift yet and need to do that too. Yikes!! My to-do list is pretty big this week. I also need to do a lot of cleaning to get the place ready for all our visitors this Christmas. It's a lot of work to host a big dinner and lots to get done to get ready. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to blog between now and Christmas. Things are starting to get very hectic and my time is going to be a lot less once my kids and Anakin are all on holidays. I know that I'll be feeling a lot less stressed when everything is done and I can relax and enjoy the time with my family. :D May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala
