I'm with you for the most part... I'm tired but happy - ok maybe content is a better word than happy at the moment. It is easy to feel tired, overwhelmed, rushed, etc. especially during this time of year... When I look back on my favorite memories with family it wasn't the time we spent looking in the mall for the perfect present for someone (or the cheapest price for it) but rather doing things together as a family - simple things. I have to remind myself of this, year after year, as if it were a new concept... so that I will be more rested and even happier!
Well, I've been telling people that I have developed the memory of Dori (blue fish on "Finding Nemo") as of lately and I just know it's because of motherhood. I don't look for this to be a passing phase either. I was "blonde" enough before Zoe came along. I certainly don't need to get worse....haha!
In any case, I wouldn't change the feelings I'm experiencing because overall, I have been blessed by God beyond measure to have the husband I do and the daughter I'm gaining!
I have God as my Father, Tim as my husband and Zoe as my daughter. This is everything I have ever wanted out of life. I feel complete.....and yet, I know I am still growing. If I stop growing, I may as well just lie down and die.
I am surrounded by friends who genuinely care about me and my family. I know this because of what I've seen and continue to see as God works through them in my life.
To be perfectly honest, I am just plain tired. I would love to completely check out of this holiday season, even this whole month, but I have a few certain people (you know who you are) in my life that just won't let me do that.

Jason,
I'm with you bro. -- tired and happy that is.
Julie -- thanks for a good perspective for such a busy time.
I'm praying for both of you.

I could only be happier if I were in Heaven now!
