Time is more like a teenager

It's August already! We're in what I consider to be the last half of the year because it's only going to get more and more hectic as time goes on. It starts with the end of summer activities, Back to School shopping, the start of the new school year, Halloween, my anniversary, my daughter's birthday, my own birthday to Thanksgiving and Christmas and it all happens with no more than a week apart of each event, except for the month long celebration that is the end of the year celebration.

I have so much to do to prepare for each occasion and I have only just begun. I usually try to get a huge jump start for holiday shopping, even starting as soon as January one year, but this year can be considered a just-on-time start. We have a lot of people to shop for so it can get expensive all at once so I start early so I can spread out the shopping to take advantage of sales. I really need to get started on a list ASAP. Back to School shopping will be started today and hopefully will not be a long drawn out process if we can find what we need. I have almost no ideas for Halloween, anniversary or birthdays, so I definitely need to start thinking about things. I won't get started on the usual projects around the house that need or I just would like done. Of course, I work in the shipping department, which makes winter my busy season. 

This isn't any more different than any other year though, is it? To be honest, I love the craziness of it all. There's always something happening and I'm never bored. I will definitely admit I tend to overwork myself and I need to make sure I rest and make sure I just relax sometimes but I wouldn't change things for the most part.
