ONLY FIVE MORE DAYS!! WHAT?!

Christmas can't be here allready, I have way too much to do. I have three birthdays this month. Ben and Sarah's were last week and Whitney's is the day after Christmas. I haven't even been able to post any pictures for lack of time. At school on Friday I went in to help with Hannah's Christmas Party and realized that it was the last day of school before Christmas break (of course why else would they be having a Christmas Party) and I had to run home and throw some teacher gifts together. I had absolutely no time to go to the store, but luckily I had some back-up gifts. I have been spending most of my time helping Tony's sister who is a drug addict and has a blood clot in her leg. I have spent hours everyday taking her in for her shots, going to court with her (quite the experience), going to sign up for medicaid and disability, going to the bishop's store house, and countless shopping trips to try and provide her with the things she needs to survive. I have spent my days witnessing some of the saddest, most depressing things I have ever seen and then I come home and see how much I have been blessed with and I am not sure what to do about it. We have donated to many charities this Christmas, but I still feel like I have way too much when there is so many with so little. I am worn out physically and emotionally and I know that I have become completely co-dependant. I have three parties this next week to get ready for, four gifts that I am making for the kids that aren't done, a dance concert tonight, basketball games, doctor appointments for Tony sister, and menus to put together, physical therapy for my shoulder, and the kids are now out of school. All I want to do is take a nap! On top of it all, I am missing my mom horribly(something that inevitably happens when I am stressed out). Baby steps to January, I think I can make it, I think I can, I think I can.....
