Holy crap, it's December. When in the world did that happen? It's going to take a whole lot of elbow grease to get Sammy's room finished by my self-imposed deadline of Christmas. Oh, and then I'll need to find a place for all of Captain Husband's books and other stuff currently residing in the office so that I can get rid of a bookcase and move all of the furniture around so that I can fit in the new trundle day bed that I bought on my Thanksgiving trip home, which will make the office double as a guest room. And then I need to work on selling the furniture from the former guest room on Craigslist so that my garage no longer resembles a used furniture shop; anyone interested in a full-size brass bed from the 1920s? Yeah, and then there's picking out a Christmas tree (and carrying it up three flights of stairs) and getting all of the decorations out and multiple road trips to New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and Western Pennsylvania. Don't forget wrapping presents, sending out Christmas cards, and mailing out my MilSpouse Secret Santa gift. I'm tired just typing this stuff out. Anyone know where I can get myself cloned?

It's gonna be next year before you know it!
Yikes! And you have to do this all yourself? Make sure you drink a little eggnog while you're at it (and add whatever might be necessary to help you along ;)
That sounds like a lot to do. Don't forget to schedule some ME TIME in the midst of it all when you get a chance! :)
