Holy Cow, What a Week

Seriously. The Boy and I still haven't recovered. In the course of the last 7 days we:

• Cleaned up after hosting Thanksgiving
• Tidied after a hosting a houseful of guests
• Prepared for the next wave of guests arriving
• Experienced serious change at both of our offices
• Lived through three work deadlines
• Attended two Christmas parties
• Participated in small group Bible study
• Participated in strategy planning for 2011
• Graded papers for 40 students
• Ran a marathon
• Followed a Marathon Man to cheer him on
• Slept far too little

Like I said - it was some week.

In the midst of it all, I got a hair-brained idea to pull out our Christmas decor. I got as far as setting up the tree, but not fluffing. There it sat, in all its non-fluffed, stuff everywhere, glory for over a week.

Even now I only have 1/3 of the lights on. The ornaments are out of their respective boxes and are piled in a chair. I hope they'll stay there, safe from the curious paws of two furbabies, until I have time (and energy) to finish decorating next weekend. But I'm not holding out hope.

Speaking of the furbabies...I didn't make up our bed at all last week. {GASP!} And in the midst of our very untidy bed, Ben and Bridget decided to be friends.

I wish this new-found friendship lasted longer than a cat nap.
