November is Nearly Over?!?!?!

Wow!  How did a whole month fly by??? 

So here I am trying to remember what all happened in November, even though it isn't technically over yet. 

Friday Fun started - so there went most of my Friday nights
Spent lots of time planning and organizing the Craft Fair at my church.
Spent not as much time working on the BVCOB Women's Christmas Party.
I had a Thirty One party.....at my house!! (Yes, I allowed people in to see the chaos firsthand)
I attended a Miche party  (Now I'm torn between Thirty One and Miche.  Decisions, decisions)
# 3 broke his collar bone at Friday Fun
Thanksgiving
Black Friday Shopping (WOO HOO!  I love it!!!)
I participated in my first craft fair as a vendor.
Dearest and I spent the evening with a very dear friend of mine who is home on leave.  It was an awesome evening that ended before I was ready for it to end.  :/

Those were the highlights.  Of course there were lots of the daily humdrum of regular life. 

Oh yeah, I went  to a meeting.  I was totally frustrated with things that are far beyond my control.  I don't like feeling that way.  I just don't understand people in general.  Why are some content to allow others to take on more and more responsibility and then complain when things aren't exactly the way they want them or expect them??  I know it's the age old question and there isn't a good answer but one of these days I'm afraid I'm going to open my mouth and all this frustration is going to come tumbling out.  Woooo I hope that doesn't happen.  Pray for me to be able to hold my tongue. 

I am going to try harder to blog more consistently during the Advent Season which started Sunday by the way.  I know many people talk about what they are thankful for during November but I'm not one to conform to peer pressure so I'm going to think about what is important to me and why during December. 

Getting a head start....
~I am grateful for the family that I have.  My husband and my children.  My extended family.  Dearest's extended family.  I value the time I share with them. 

~I also value maturity....even though I don't always possess it.  :}  Maybe I should ask for that for Christmas??

~~Blessings and Merry Christmas~~
