[StitchIsOurHero]

Wow, I sooo wish I was so close to out trip!! Wishing you great weather, and a safe and fun trip!!!

Awww, thanks!! I'm so excited--can't wait to see the Christmas decorations. But, I'm also stressed because of work, trying to get everythign ready for the trip, and then trying to get Christmas ready. . .

Perhaps this is why, 10 years ago, my mom said, "You probably shouldn't get married the week before Christmas!" Life lesson--ALWAYS listen to mama!!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Brooke, good luck on getting everything done at work today. Your WDW trip will be awesome!!!! I wanna go too!!!!

Well, it's a good thing that I went online and looked at my work schedule for this week again. I had only looked at it when it came out and didn't write down the times so I went back yesterday to be sure I had the times correct. Well, I was originally scheduled to work only 3 days this week and it changed to FIVE!!!!! That's never happened before. I wonder if anyone was planning to tell me as normally I don't check it again.

[morgansmom2000]

Workin' today. I'm already tired. I did not sleep well at all. I had a whole bunch of dreams (I never remember them, but there were a lot last night).

So, Princess is up and out.

I'm stopping at the PO to get stamps to mail my Christmas cards. And then maybe I'll get a latte. Maybe

Work until 4:30. Calendars are all set to go, so I may have to break down and do some filing. The horror!

Dinner? No idea. The cupboards are bare, I really need to go shopping tomorrow.

Dishes

Take Princess out to do some Christmas shopping? Really depends on the weather

Hope everyone has a great day!

i'm in a complete funk today. have been for the last few days. need to shake it.

 

[tinkryansmom]

Shake that funk! I have had the funk too. Now its more of a nose to the grindstone kind of feeling. Not however really Christmas Cheery.

SIOH - have a great time! I have a wedding to go to on Saturday. Someone else didn't listen to your momma either! I cannot find anything to wear. Bought 3 different shirts/sweaters last night. Today - I hate them all.But 2 of them are really cute - just not wedding-ish.

[PrincessNancy96]

Ok, I'm off to wrap presents... the gifts are small this year as they did NOT ask for anything much... what's with that... I guess that is what happens when they get older and they limit what they ask for.... DD said she wasn't asking for much because we paid for driver's ed, driver's license, increase in insurance etc... gotta love her.. she is thinking reality... LOL DS13 asked for a PSP game and DUke stuff...wait...a minute.. I'm missing a gift for him downstairs.. OH snap...where the heck is that.. that is the "MOMMY you ROCK gift!"... DS9 asked for a DS game and that was it... they all got new clothes... gosh, I feel like a failure...but they got what they asked for... now to go find that missing gift... if it is lost.. I will CRY!!!!



ETA: FOUND IT!! THANK YOU! OMG! I was going to be crushed!!!!!

 

[aroyer]

Hi Ladies!!! I just thought I would drop by to say 'hi' and I miss y'all! I fractured and sprained my right hand right before Halloween, so typing has been a challenge. It is still healing, some days are better than others (today so far has been good!), but I was missin y'all so I had to sneak on! Happy Holidays!

[PrincessNancy96]

Ok, the only thing left to wrap is what mom and dad bought the 5 kids.. everything else is done..

my back is killing me from standing and wrapping... I can't sit and wrap, need to be taller than the table! LOL

 

[ZeroToHero]

Ashley- I'm so sorry about your hand! That's a pain... now you can oversee wrapping instead of having to do it yourself, right?
