I’ll be making this post to all three pages, so bear with me.
The past three weeks have been a whirlwind and I still feel like I’m spinning! It’s 3:00 in the afternoon and I’ve just reached a point where I can reconnect fully.
The instant we found out Christopher would be leaving soon, I went to work and haven’t stopped! Momma-mode kicked in to give him the best three weeks we could give him!
Preparations for a nice Thanksgiving with just us, immediately followed by cakes due and getting to the last (and only) USM game I could attend this season, immediately into COTR prep that was derailed by cell phone and internet outages and an unnecessarily lengthy trip to hobby lobby for overpriced packaging, followed by possibly the busiest COTR booth I’ve ever had, immediately jumping into prep for a going-away gathering for family the next day, followed by Christmas prep for an early celebration with him, an adventurous almost-trip to the airport derailed by a tire adventure I couldn’t even compute, watching my son leave with the kids so he could make it in time, then swinging through Poplarville and Slidell to surprise a sweet friend of ours on her 16th birthday and graduation (yep, graduated at 16!), all while doing my best to maintain home, family, meals, cleaning, decorating and barely holding onto two businesses.
Any woman who has ever hosted a single holiday function in their life has just passed out from exhaustion just reading this.
I’m not posting to complain, in fact I’m so overwhelmed with pride for my son as well as all we accomplished in the few weeks he had left living in Demopolis! I’m posting to say, I may be a little slow to respond today but I’ve gathered most of myself back together and am almost back on track. It is Tuesday right?! 😅
I will begin posting some last-minute treat offers tomorrow for your family gatherings! And if we have a running machine, some cute 3D printed stocking stuffers! I’m so glad to start slowing down enough to catch up and get back to my regular busy! Thank you all for being so patient over the last few weeks! I am so very grateful for your business and your support over the past month. I could not have pulled this off alone and I didn’t ❤️
Family, friends, customers….you’ve all helped me make this happen and I can’t be more thankful for the amazing people that surround us 🫶🏼
