OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO DAYS UNTIL SANTA COMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday it finally felt like Christmas....My girls and My grandchildren and myself all went on our "annual" Santa trip...we go see Santa and all the sights of Christmas around town.... Now that all sounds FABULOUS and WONDERFUL....but believe me...as much as I LOVE LOVE LOVE it...it's very chaotic at the same time!!!!!!! But...much to my surprise...we got ALL 4 kids to sit with Santa at the same time and take a picture....without any crying or fuss!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay...give me a few...I will be back......

Good morning Linda!!! Now that's an achievement to get all four kids on Santa's lap! Can't wait to see pictures.

I'm off of work until next Tuesday. Starting my day with a trip to the personal trainer at 10...then I'm going to pick up Mom and Dad and run some errands with them to get what they need for Christmas Eve at their house. The weather is supposed to get bad here so we're trying to get everything done today!

I'll be back in later to do personals!

Wow...it's taking me forever to write a decent post today.....I have kids everywhere!!!....We will bake cookies together today....

LOL...I told you the other day about mine and Cameran's Gingerbread House fiasco.....all the years I have made them..that has never happened...incase you did not read it....we got it put together and mostly decorated and then it fell apart!!! I went and got a kit that night and got one that the house was already put together...we are running out of time...so Cameran and I decorated AGAIN yesterday morning....He was so proud!!!

I finally got the rest of Christmas cards out yesterday too....my printer ran out one of the inks...they don't sell it at the stores..so I had to order..and with the snow..it was delayed getting here until Monday evening...so I printed and sent out yesterday...WOO HOO!!! Next year...I am making them a month early and printing...so I don't have to worry with it....that's what I did last year.....But I swear...this year has just been so disorganized for me.....with the MOVING for Traci, the babysitting (as a job) and all the other things .... the snow too....it just really messed up things for me this year.....But I am on track now....going to the grocery store tonight to get all of my things for cooking...we go to my Mom's Christmas Day (well we start off going to DD's house to see what Cameran and Savannah got from Santa...Jesse and Jaiden will be here with us...Traci won't do Christmas morning anywhere else)...then to DH's mom's for a while....then on Saturday we have extended family parties....two....and then on Sunday we have Christmas at our house with all of our kids....NO ONE IS WORKING ON MONDAY!! Thank goodness...we need to rest!!! We don't get to plan on Christmas Eve...since DH is a UPS driver..he doesn't get home until LATE!! it stinks!!!!!!!! He always comes home so relieved that another season is over though....I usally have the house spotless and smells of good christmas goodies and some festive "drinks" ready...and now that our kids are all gone it is just he and I .... we usually get pillows and listen to the christmas music and talk about all of our memories of Christmas past...laying under the tree....I love it!!!


Okay....next post...personals!!!

Good morning ladies! I took advantage of Gary's offer to take Cait to the bus and I got to sleep in a bit. "Sleep" isn't the right word, I have been having problems sleeping again. But it was nicer to be in bed lounging than up and showered at 6 am!

I overdid it yesterday. Who me? Gary is fighting back the "I told you so's" I am a ball of pain ATM.
Not doing anything today except boxing up the Christmas cookies to give out. And making Reindeer food with my friend, her kids and Cait.
3 more presents to wrap. Not a lot at all.
I am planning on taking some pain meds and then post here/scrap!

Have a great morning- I'll be back in a bit.

I went and did my Mom's shopping for the little kids last night....we just could not find the time to go at the same time...I have the kids and babysitting all day and she has been doing so much for her sister (the aunt I told yall about with the Cancer and the botched surgery...she is not doing well at all)....and she just doesn't have the energy to go in the evening...so I told her I would just do it for her.
