Feeling lighter

Today marks the beginning of my real countdown to Christmas as we do the last gym session of the term today, and I free up more of my time for other things!

This week ahead just has school and church responsibilities to think about, and I can spend some more time on home and family - cleaning up for Christmas and getting some more decorations up, writing that Christmas letter and sending out some photos to the older relatives, catching up on the laundry so we don't have airers everywhere over the holiday, and generally getting in the mood for the celebrations!

I'm off to wake up the FH to start on the morning medication routine, and get the YFG up to come to gym with me.  The chooks are waiting for their breakfast too, and I'm off - see you later - have a good day x

This blog is called Growing in the FENS, so the FH is the Fen Husband, the EFG is the Elder Fen Girl and the YFG is the Younger Fen Girl. UJ is also mentioned quite often and that is simpler - Uncle John!

At the moment, the EFG is 17 and the YFG is 14....

Hope that helps. I will get around to putting the abbreviations in the sidebar somewhere - that is a good idea. Thank you xx

RQ - TEN cakes?! Gosh, I am not looking forward to dealing with the three I have made and the staff gifts for school that I am planning to make.....

Your comment about not thinking about things and just doing things is exactly right, it seems to me! If I think about things too much, I get overwhelmed in planning in too much detail, so it is sometimes better to fly by the seat of your pants and just go for it, when appropriate! I haven't dared to do that with a sermon yet, though I know some who have...
