WHAT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hey Peeps! It’s worse than jet lag – that’s how this time change is hitting me.<\/p>\n

How are you doing with the new time? Truly, I hope you are doing better than me.<\/p>\n

Honestly? I feel so jet lagged and we haven’t gone anywhere. I was wide awake last Sunday (Time change day) at 4:30am. You know, this sleeping another hour bit is\u00a0not working. I think 5:30 is\u00a0the latest I’ve been able to sleep in all week. What time do I go to bed? Before the chickens! Last evening I could feel my body begin to shut down at 7 o’clock. My head was on the pillow by 7:45 and out like a light before 8 o’clock. Just like clock work, I was wide-eyed with a happy little jingle in my step at 4:45 this morning. I guess I’ll just snub the time change and let my body do its thing.<\/p>\n

So it’s Thursday and it feels like Friday. That could have something to do with \u00a0 catching up on Friday chores. I have the last load of laundry in – the ironing should be done soon. Since tomorrow is the hubs Friday off, I much prefer having the household\u00a0caught up such that I can play and work with the hubs over the weekend.<\/p>\n

On another note, Christmas is taking over!<\/p>\n

Seriously? Yup! The stockings were hung today. Mantel # 1<\/p>\n

Mantel #2<\/p>\n

It was 5 years ago when I opened the Christmas decorations and found this little church. We still don’t recall how we acquired it, but it’s been a fun little piece for the mantel ever since.<\/p>\n

This is as close as we get to snowflakes in So Cal. Although, we can see snow (in the winter) on the distant mountains from home.<\/p>\n

From the inside – I’ll refrain from hanging the wreaths outdoors. We wouldn’t\u00a0want the ‘hood\u00a0to think we’re\u00a0crazy or anything.<\/p>\n

I’m starting on the Christmas tree in the family room tomorrow and hope to have all the finishing touches done over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Wishing a happy weekend to all of you who stopped by.<\/p>\n
