Seriously!!! Does the day get any better when you spend it with your friends making chocolate covered pretzels while your house is cleaned by SOMEONE ELSE? NO. I would say that is the perfect day.
Housecleaners. Friends. Chocolate.
Housecleaners. When I had Daxton, that was the first thing I did. Get me a housecleaner. I don't necessarily get her regularly, but it averages out to be about every 3 weeks. There are many things I would give up.... going out to expensive restaurants (ya like I do that), that extra movie or 2, my right arm.... in order to have a housecleaner. It is SO worth it. With Daxton, I just wanted to spend all my time with him that I had, and it was hard with Mikenna too (Savannah was at school). I just wanted to relish in the moment and NOT spend it cleaning. Plus, if I remember correctly, 3 kids was hard!!! Only 2 is harder, but once again, all relative.
Friends. Friends were/are there when I need them most. When I am having a bad day, I get flowers on my door step. When friends I haven't seen for awhile come into town, I get chocolate and a thoughtful card. When Daxton passed away, there were so many friends. Good friends. I am so lucky to have them. Everyone that showed up at my house to clean (housecleaners), those who brought us dinners. Those who planned a HUGE luncheon for all my family when they were here. Those who bear this burden with me. And those who help me get out bed daily. PS: husbands are friends too. :)

This sounds almost perfect :).
One nativity is better than none. I do not even own one. Very pathetic I know. Oh, and the pretzels sound very yummie.
That does sound perfect. I wish we had more money. A housecleaner is atop my list baby!
Britney you are loved. I think about you all the time! I hope the holidays will turn out ok! :)

I have debated about a housecleaner. Just like once a month or something would be nice. I feel like I spend so much time cleaning that I could spend with my kids. I'll have to look into it. You are convincing me.
Oh ya, I'm with you on the housecleaner. I don't have one YET...but it has always been in my plans and dreams.
You are so funny. I would love to meet you someday.
I hope today and the coming weeks can be filled with sweetness despite the big hole.
