Well, I am feeling down to the wire for the holidays. How about you?
I made some progress yesterday- I wrapped 5 whole gifts hahah! but also finished the "guts" of two of the 6 baskets that I am doing. Two of the 4 left over are for Cait and my mom so they are easy enough to do. The last two should be almost done, the shipments of the items should be in today and tomorrow. In fact, most of my orders should be in by Monday. I can't wrap the kids' gifts until I have everything laid out in from of me. We give a few gifts and Santa brings a few, so that has to get sorted out evenly. Santa has been known to bring a gift or two that Mom wouldn't approve of. He is bad that way.
I hope to finish my brick and mortar shopping today, depending on how I am feeling after my mammo and ultrasound ordeal. I cannot wait until I don't have to do this every 6 months. Again, my rational brain doesn't think there is anything to stress about and I am usually fine until I am sitting in my robe waiting, and waiting. The dr has to read my scans to decide what additional scans I need, so it is a lot of sitting, squishing, sitting and more squishing.
I also hope that Cait makes it through school- she came down a few mins ago, saying she was dizzy and threw up a bit. But I can't drive her in to school late, nor will I be available to pick her up. Scott is going to Leah's so Gary will be without a car. His own darn fault for not getting the new battery for my car. Whatever!
But on a really good note-- my mom took the kids out for their annual shopping and dinner trip last night. They came back laughing and my mom said over and over how much fun they are. They really are and I love that they have such a good relationship with her.
Hugs and love and all that good stuff!!!!!
