Tis the Season .....? + Happy Homemaker Monday


The season is upon us. The season of 2 weeks since the time changed and I'm still not adjusted.
The season of since before Trick or Treat stores were Full. On. Christmas....and just last week I seen a local store get their delivery of Valentine stuff.. VALENTINE for Goodness Sake!!
The season of trying to figure out Thanksgiving meal(s) and where do we go? What do we Fix? What 'other' day works for [insert whoever]??
Tis the season of Friendsgiving invites, RunGiving meal invites and the idea of  Black Friday [Shoot.Me.Now] Shopping - to quote Heather Land 'I ain't doing it' !
And speaking of shopping, Christmas is 37 Days away...
37...tis the Season.
Have you started? Are you a Black Friday Shopper? Online Shopper? Christmas gift Shop for yourself? This 'Tis the Season' for me will happen as I do my meal planning ahead of time by asking each what special dish do they want, there's a Cut Off time. If they respond great, if not.....well eat what's on the table or not you decide. 
Tis the Season of already working on 2020 race planning, photography &/or walk-running a few.
Tis the Season of wading through all the Medicare information, happy that the Hubby is 6 months older and I piggy-backed on his meeting so that 95% of my ordeal is complete and I finish the balance in January.
Tis the season that I work more at getting A Runner's Mom and More recognized,
with the Blog and with the 1230AM-WHIR Radio Segment.
Tis the Season that I will continue to save more, get busy with budgeting, plan ahead for 2020 home projects.
Tis the Season I look forward to doing a bit of travel, trip to my home state to see my brother, thinking about a possible girls trip, and a few runcations are already planned.
