Ho! Ho! Ho!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at my house. I have been busy with holiday functions, shopping and wrangling excited children. We are leaving for sunny Florida on Saturday and I could not be more excited.

I do have to admit though that the holiday season does have me feeling very anxious. There is just so much to take care of. Also, my depression has been kind of loud lately and I'm not really sure why. I guess simply because it exists. My sleep schedule is a mess and I am tired. The holiday season is fun but I will be so happy when it is all over.

Here is today's installment of Monday News. I hope you have a fantastic week!
