I used to LOVE wrapping gifts. Now--it's a major chore. Once I became a mom it just seems an annoyance. My skills have been dwindling over the last 4 years anyway, but the last couple years have been terrible. 2007--TERRIBLE morning sickness; 2008-- tired from a 5 months old; 2009--more tired from a 16.5 month old all by myself most of the time. It's sad to lose something I once loved, but I don't think I'll really like it ever again. Now I know why my mom was always excited when I wanted to wrap gifts in high school. I need a daughter to do this and about 16 years or so to pass by, so whe would be old enough. That's a lot more Christmas wrapping in the meantime.
Cooking. This has not been so much fun w/ little C running around and mostly demanding my attention the entire time he is awake. He hates for me to be engaged in anything except himself. I think I will regain this one though if Scott and I ever live together again (Side note--still no lookers for our house--not even one showing in 2 months).
Too tired to think of other things right now.

I found this age to be the hardest with Cora. It get's better.
I don't think I've ever liked wrapping presents... :)
If you would rather use an alternative to gift wrap for us, that would be fine. Pretty dish towels, sheets, placemats, sewing fabric secured with safety pins - I promise we'll give them back!
I have a bunch of paper to use up, otherwise I would be looking around for alternatives, too!
