200 Posts

As I was logging into my blogger account to write a post apologizing for my absence post NaBloPoMo, I noticed that I had written 199 posts.  So here it is my 200th post.  And I have absolutely nothing interesting to share.  (Well, I do but that has to wait a little longer.)  It seems like there is an unspoken rule that you instantly become busy when the calendar flips over to December.  Something about this time of year means that we have minimal down time.  We haven't had time to get our tree up or any of the decorations out.  I still have shopping left to do thanks to some of my family members not sharing gift ideas with me which has to be finished before Friday since we leave for Alabama after Kiddo gets out of school.  It is going to be so nice to have my whole family together this year.  With my brother's deployments over the past few years, it is rare that we get to have everyone in the same place at the same time.  I could almost count on one hand the number of times that has happened since I moved to Texas 5 years ago.  Now if I could just get a little Christmas spirit going in my house I would really be ready for this trip.  At least I get a few days off to rest and enjoy my family.
