Take heed
Sunday, December 13, 2009 at 9:37PM 
Even when you are trying to take things slow, you can do too much. I thought I was being discriminating but there are signs that I have let the season get the better of me. This is a shot of WJ in the car at 11:10 AM. One too many late night; one too many party; one too many sugar high and subsequent crash. The poor little guy couldn't even stay awake on the way home from church.
My task tonight is to look over the calendar for this week to see what I can subtract. Will you join me? Cross a few things off the list even if they aren’t finished? An obligation that might not be that obligatory?
Let me know what you subtract.

Ha, Ha, Ha. Very, very funny, my esteemed colleague.
That is a great idea! Although, I love the busy feeling the Holidays bring, I'm sure there is something we could cross off!
Kim, This is a really good point. There is something enjoyable about the energy of the season, the purposefulness of preparing your family to celebrate, and the joy of having a reason to spend time in good company. I am really thinking about this now... the balance between the two. Emily
Found you via steadymom and love this idea to find something (or things to subtract). For me it will be that we have a day at home on Friday -- no outings beyond a walk around the block or digging in the yard.
