is it supposed to be this difficult?

Just a quick post tonight, I don't have much energy to post pictures or deep thoughts. I'm recovering from being sick, we ended up being on the go most of the day and honestly, I'm just draggin. For some unknown reason there is a force of nature that does not want us to decorate our Christmas tree, so there it sits, naked as a jay bird, in our den. My poor husband has put lights on that stupid thing twice, yet it is still not lit up. First time, smoke was involved, don't ask, but don't worry, all is well. We needed new lights, three stores later, we have new lights. Great, we get the kind that twinkle.....up they go. Crap, that twinkle looks more like a strobe. Take em down, we don't want anyone to seize over Christmas. Off we go again, more stinkin lights, but I don't have the nerve to ask him to put them up tonight, and goodness I don't have the energy to do it. I can only imagine what must be going through Taryn's mind regarding the strange plant mommy and daddy moved into the den?? She must think we've lost it. And poor Ty, "are we decorating the tree today?"...."are we decorating the tree today?"..."are we decorating the tree today?"...poor kid. Tomorrow buddy, I promise.
