It's that Time of Year Again - House of Furniture in Clovis, NM



'Tis the Season Already?

It that time again. The holiday season is about to kick off with Thanksgiving coming around the corner. While this season is all good in its intentions, it can cause some added stress to some people. With all the traveling and family gatherings, some people begin to feel overwhelmed. Cooking, driving, shopping, gifting and more can put people over the edge and make it to where they dread the holiday season. Here are some tips to help alleviate some of the added humbugs that can coalesce throughout this time of year. 

1) Take a Personal Day - While this may be easier for some than others depending on your work environment, it may be in your best interest to take a personal day out of the middle of the first or second week in December to take care of your shopping. Since you have taken the day off, you can shop at your desired pace unlike when you try to wait until after work and rush, rush, rush. You will be surprised with how stressless early morning shopping is compared to other times of the day at your local mall. 

2) Pace Yourself - You aren't necessarily being the Grinch if you don't go to every holiday function that comes up. Sit back and ask yourself if you really want to go with your Aunt to see The Nutcracker put on by the local community theater. While missing some traditions may be heresy to the majority of your family, It's important for you to determine how much is too much. Don't let guilt consume you and pressure you into over-extending yourself. Your family and friends may need to understand that you are tired and don't feel up to it so don't be afraid to voice your opinion in a respectful way. 

3) Don't Forget About Yourself - The holiday season is about family, giving and thankfulness and so it can be very easy to forget about yourself. Working for almost 2 straight months without doing anything for yourself can get you in the doldrums. One suggestion is that you make sure to buy at least one item for yourself each time you go out. You can pick out something small like a nice candle or some special candy. It's an easy way to give you a little boost and treat yourself for all your hard work. Just make sure that you don't go overboard and buy something that's on your wish list!

Those Litle Devils!

I Only Looked Away for a Split Second As parents, we do our best to look out for our children and keep them safe. The same can be said about most pet owners, as well. Sometimes, we may cross the line and spoil them a little bit... or, maybe a lot. The interesting thing about raising children and taking care of pets is that there is a dichotomy in the relationship. As mentioned before, we want to keep them safe. On the other hand, we do our best to keep our things safe from them! Pets can make a real mess of things in a very short timeframe. From chewing shoes to chewing sofa cushions, dogs have the capability to do some damage. Cats and their claws seem to think that the couch or recliner is their personal scratching post. While some people's pets behave or are docile, some can be real terrors. You may love your dog or cat, but let's face it, sometimes they can be jerks. My cat seems to think that 3 a.m. is the perfect time to tear across the entire house and across almost all

Spring Has Sprung - More Time Outdoors

Longer Days and Warmer Weather This winter has had its ups and downs. Just when you think it was over, here came another week or more of cold weather. I guess winter just wasn't ready to loosen its icy grip just because an underground dwelling rodent said it was time. While the groundhog was a little off with his prognosticating this year, spring seems to have finally come. All in all, I bet a lot of people are happy about this change of season.  Not to be a stick in the mud, but spring coming is always a mixed bag for me. I do enjoy the milder weather, but I seriously could do without all the allergies. I am sure the over-the-counter allergy medicine companies are happy for my patronage, I feel like I have to make a personal budget just for nasal sprays and pills. I look at other people who aren't allergic to grass and wonder what it feels like to be able to mow your own yard without wearing a respirator.  Outdoor Furniture Some days can be worse than others
