Slow Down??

I have been thinking about the "why don't you slow down" and the "why are you breaking your neck trying to get all of the paperwork done" and "you have to be realistic, you can't do it all the week of Christmas"...I mean, am I being too ridiculous, am I overdoing it, should I just take my time and enjoy the holidays? Well, yes, to a degree. I am going to enjoy my kids and our time together, I am definitely not going to neglect them or let this season pass and not savor our time together....No, I can't do it ALL before Christmas, but I can get the part that needs to get there asap there and that is what I have been working toward......but the more I thought about it...the more I know I am doing the right thing...I have been hitting it hard, because right now, there is a little girl somewhere halfway across the world that is probably cold, hungry, needing to be held. A little girl that probably has some kind of medical need that has not been met and she may not have ever experienced what love feels like. She has nobody ooohing and ahhing over her, no one smothering her with kisses, no one snuggling her and calming her down....she may not be born yet, but there is a very good chance that our daughter has already been born and if she is on this earth, I don't want to waste a single second "sitting back, enjoying all of our excess"...I am working like crazy because the faster I do, then the faster she can come home to us and feel what it is like to have a family...I cannot wait to see her face and get my arms around her...
