Random Thoughts in my life today

via

1.) I have a migraine this morning that started right behind my eyes. The type you know that no amount of Tylenol will cure :( I know, I need new contacts/glasses and want to schedule that appointment before the end of the year, but that requires time and money and planning. Next.

2.) Everyone and their sister is pregnant right now in my life and it's making me sad. As I've shared, I was one of those lucky pregnant girls at one point in my life. God had other plans and took my son away from me at 21 weeks old :( I should have a 4.5 year old son to celebrate Christmas with and I just don't. I spoil my niece, other people's kids and my dogs, but it's not the same. I know that my time will come, but I'm getting impatient and I want to make things happen yesterday. Had a convo with Mr. P about it, he wants to do it the "right" way, which so do I, but make it happen already.

3.) I'm still having ovary pain and there is no end in sight. In order for me to work on #2, I need to get this all figured out. It's upsetting me, my doctor isn't doing more about it and their answer is to wait things out. I'm noticing I have no patience.

4.) I need to make an effort to make it to the gym. I'm paying $30/month for a membership I never use :/ I really should go, but I'm lacking energy almost every day :( I keep up with the dogs, but even that is difficult at the moment.

5.) I made a delicious dinner last night and wanted to post about it and share pictures, but I didn't take any pictures. I'm planning on making my bake sale cookies tonight and french onion soup for tomorrow. I have nothing planned for dinner tonight though.

My Christmas Planner & TGIF!

Last night, I made time to create my Christmas planner, finally! I definitely require some form of organization around this time of year and this is my solution. Last week I shared my list of printables (go here). 

Gathered my supplies (while trying to keep the pups from eating them).

(1/2" white view binder, set of 8 tabs, 1 pc cardstock, various stickers/embellishments, printed lists)

I then cut a 12x12 pc of paper down to 8-1/2 x 11. Decorated with embellishments and slid into front cover of binder.

Tada!

Now write out tabs and insert in binder. I used cards, master list, gifts, budget and recipes. I have extra in case I find something else later.

Add printed lists behind appropriate tabs.

And this completes my Christmas Planner experience. I couldn't resist a quick pic of my Mercedes :)

And since I'm the only one in the office today, please excuse me if I happen to post a couple extra entries today :/ I have some lovely gift tags that I would love to share as well as find a recipe for bake sale cookies :) Feel free to comment all day to entertain me or email. I will gladly return the favor :) Only 5 and a half more hours to go!

Also, I did receive a couple rewards (I'm flattered!) and will probably post those today as well. Who doesn't love awards? It's like saying you have an awesome blog and we should totally be friends and our friends can be friends and our friends friends can be friends. You get the idea ;) I'll be posting that shortly.
