is a much more difficult task when one is sleepless. I have been struggling with getting these out since yesterday. I hope to finish them up today however I have had another sleepless night so I am not sure if this is a goal bent on failure. At this point I will just hope that I have everyones name right, have spelled things correctly and all the cards are in their proper envelopes as I am just too tired to recheck them. Given the date I will most likely have to pay extra postage too in order to get them to their destinations on time.

The agenda for today includes: a visit to see Santa with the grandson, a nice drive through of the lake area to see their Christmas Light display and checking out the Annual Gingerbread exhibit at the Grove Park (LOTS of walking). Since the daughter is still sick, and now grumpy as all get out, DH and I will travel in separate cars to lower our chances of catching her virus in time for Christmas. Although from what we both have heard and witnessed there seems to be A LOT of people out and about these days who are not feeling well.

I took some pictures yesterday of our holiday decorations but am waiting to take some of today's festivities as well before posting. Hoping to have some of them up by this weekend.

In the meantime I am praying for a speedy resolution to my current sleep issue as well as looking forward to a nap at some point today. Funny, I never have problems with naps but at night I can't get my brain to shut up long enough to sleep pass 1-2 hours if that. So wishing it was the other way around!
