Countdown Chains

I have always made little chains to count down school days until Christmas Break. This year(and the past few) I have been too tired to actually care and to be honest, time is actually flying by. There are only four days of school left.  

Having something to countdown to actually seems to make the time go faster and the wait less painful though. I am very excited for my trip to Wisconsin, even if it comes during a very busy time as we prepare to move. There are only seven wake ups until that day!!!

My sister’s family always counts time in wake-ups. I didn’t quite understand that concept until I had kids of my own. See, little kids have no concept of time. They are very good at living in the now! But they can get the concept of wake ups because they can measure time by how many sleeps are in between this day and that day. We are very excited for our adventures to Wisconsin around here. 

What are some things you are looking forward to right now, besides the holiday of course? 

I am also looking forward to moving into our new house, which will then become our home! Inbeteeen then and now , I am looking forward to the end of my day long training today(trainings aren’t my fav), signing day, the end of being just a tenant in the home we have owned for five years(it’s just weird), hugging my mom, my cousin’s Christmas get together, the Ficklin family Christmas party, my school’s Christmas party at Brick Oven, the White Elephant extravaganzas at both parties, and rest, I always could use a bit of that. 

But who’s counting?
