But not in a bad way.
Due to the extra days off, my schedule is all messed up. I wouldn't change it mind you, but I'm all discombobulated. It's been really great just hanging out and doing whatever we want to do. There are times that it makes me yearn to be a SAHM, but I also realize that there is something called "too much of a good thing" and after a few weeks, I'd lay odds that all of my hair would be "gone with the wind" (if you get my drift).
Meelie is at a sleepover right now, visiting with her "bestie", Chickie is snoring away on the couch where she fell asleep last night. My husband and I are sipping coffee and surfing blogs. I would say that life is pretty good here at Chez Moogie.
In a bit, after we get ready, we are going to head on out and buy my husband a suit. Yes, I know. I was surprised too. I will be sure to post a picture of him in it so you can be just as dazzled by his amazingly good looks as me. Then again, it's been three weeks since I've lost my glasses making it difficult to see clearly, so I might be wrong. Somehow I doubt it though.
After we get home from that, we'll start the task of decorating our front yard. I'm so excited I feel like a little girl standing in line, waiting sit on Santa's lap gently whispering in his ear that the thing I want the most in my life is the baby doll that pees. You know, that one with the blond hair that comes with an extra set of diapers. I had several dolls like that growing up, and as I recall, my poor dad was the unsuspecting victim more than once. What is amazing is that he still loves me. Hi Dad! I would like to add that this was the man who ate my Easy Bake Oven cakes, complete with 4 inches of frosting on the top on a regular basis. That's my kind of father.
At any rate, we are going to be decorating on the outside today. We've never done that before and I'm really looking forward to it. For some reason, my husband is really getting into the holiday spirit. For the record, Iām not complaining. We went a little overboard in getting some of the decorations, but hey! It's a start and we plan on adding a little here and there over the years to come.
In a nutshell, that will be my day. To top it off, Mother Nature is going to be gentle to us. We are supposed to reach a high of 80 degrees F. Looks like I may be pulling out a pair of shorts while playing Mrs. Elf!

I love the peaceful holiday mood I feel after reading this post. We'll never hit 80 up here in the Northwoods, but it's beginning to look a lot like christmas!
