C-Thru Windows

When I realized I hadn't posted anything in September and October is nearly gone it made me realize that we all lead busy lives.

Initially I thought that summer had to be the busiest time of year for everyone. The kids are out of school and there are vacations, camps, and other activities that seem to take up every minute. Then I started thinking about the other times of year when it feels as if we don't have enough hours in the day.

There's the rush of the "back-to-school season" when shopping for clothes & supplies seems to go on forever. At that time of year we probably look back on the vacation months as an easy time. We think this must be the busiest time of our year.

Just as things are falling into a routine, Halloween is upon us. Kids want the best costumes - which always involve more creativity and talent than we think we have to offer. Spooky decorations go up and pumpkins are carved. There are school parties that require us to bake 36 delicious, perfectly decorated cupcakes and adult parties that mean we have to have our own amazing costumes. And, after that one night, we have all the clean up to do. We start thinking that Halloween is the busiest time even though it's "only one night."

Next comes the "holiday season" and nothing seems to compare. First we're readying everything for Thanksgiving and before that's really behind us we're getting into Christmas/Chanukah season.

We're out grocery shopping and gift shopping for what seems like 18 hours a day. Everyone has a list of chores to get the house ready for all the holiday guests. We have to clean and decorate and cook. Then, of course, we have to clean up from all the cleaning, decorating, and cooking.

New Year's isn't quite as bad. At least it usually doesn't require a costume. It does require a spotless home and great food, more decorations, and party favors. Where would we be without those little paper whistle things we blow at midnight? Inevitably, after the old year has been rung out and the new one rung in, comes the cleaning.

Valentine's Day isn't so bad, right? Just more baking for school and rushing out to find the right cards for the kids to pass out and for us to give our loved ones. Maybe a romantic dinner for two (or 12) needs to be planned and cooked. And, naturally, we have to put up paper hearts and cupids in the windows. Then we have to take them down.

"But," we think, "It's all done  now." Really? What about St. Patrick's Day? How about Easter? Passover, anyone? It never really ends.

And I, for one, wouldn't change a thing! Yes, it feels as if we're always getting done with one thing just to start the next. We wonder if we'll ever finish getting ready for or cleaning up from the current event. But the time we spend with our families and friends during all these times makes our lives not just busy but worth living.
