Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! It's just so crazy here right now with taxiing my kids around to whoever I can get to watch them so dh and I can work on the house of which I haven't even done the last couple of days becuase I've been sick and in be most of the past couple of days. I'm on here now because I just can't sleep...

I just hope that things slow down a little so that if we have to have Christmas here, then I want to try to be able to enjoy it with crafts, baking, etc. I don't know how much of all this we'll even be able to do, let alone a tree (dh and I were talking about maybe getting a tabletop tree.) with some trimmings.

Yes, on the brighter side, we are very blessed to have our family, our health (although I'm feeling pretty yucky right now), a new home soon and all of our necessities met. And yes, Jeff, no hustle and bustle of unpacking and decorating and wrapping all at the same time. Ane of course, the new house payment will be put off another month.

It's just been a pretty stressful week and this revelation was just icing on the stress cake.....

Thanks all again for the ideas...will definitely use many of them...and also for the kind words! You all are great!
