Too Much To Do

Gift buying.  Done!

Cookies baked.  Done!

House decorated.  Done!

She laid in bed with her eyes closed, trying to fall asleep, her list of things to do scrolling through her mind.  The past month had taken its toll, with all the events and obligations, the studying and working while caring for two young children and the press of the nightly news.  Will it get easier?  She wondered.

She listened to the creaking of the house as it settled in for the night.  All was quiet, except for the snoring of her husband.  She smiled, relaxed and drifted off to sleep.
