ds, up, dressed, breakfast, meds, neb, bus
work
laundry
make beds
start car to warm it up
get gas
dep $ into c.u.
make final list of what i need to buy. i think it should be just gift cards and something for dh. but i'll take bubba with me for that and he can pick out stuff.
i think i have bought every little kid on my list a border or barnes and noble card.
i told my niece that yesterday and she went and got bubba one!
oooohhhhh thank you! he also wanted the magic tree house #14. he's been dying for it. the school library does not have it, the town library does not have it. she found that too! she rocks!
now i'm looking for the crayola crayon maker for her kids. i have one for bubba, but want one for her kids. i have all their gifts this is just a little extra something. but they are sold out everywhere.

have a good day everyone. have fun and stay warm. it's a whole 10 degrees here right now.

I'm working today, but only until 3:30. DH has his annual "Goons Night Out" shopping trip, so I'll be home around 4:00 to get the Princess and head out to the comic book store. We'll get something quick for dinner on the way home, I'm thinking BBQ, and then come home and watch Elf. It's our tradition for Daddy's shopping night.

So, I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday! We are possibly getting snow (I'm not afraid of the naughty mat!), on Saturday night into Sunday, so I'm going to do my grocery shopping on Saturday and stay home and wrap and craft!

Holly, are we on for an early breakfast tomorrow morning? LMK

 

[morgansmom2000]

Holly, how was your Christmas par-tay?

Deb - I laugh every time you write about "DS21's way too cute GF" - good luck wrapping!
Lisa - What would they do without you? I think they should take you along as an alarm clock. Good luck wrapping to you too....
Stephanie- Thank you for reminding me! I need to see if I can find a Santa hat (preferably Disney) for Monday at work...
Jennifer- Oh my gosh, I cracked up at "Goons Night Out" - I assume my Dad will be in attendance then? Oh wait. It's too early for him to start shopping.


Up
Breakfast (cake.)
Find work-suitable yet comfortable clothes for day.
Call Lou @ 9 to wake him up.
Get ready myself
Go to Aquarium for the morning
Work from 1:45-6:45 (possibly 9)
Home
Try to find Santa hat (maybe save this for Sunday)
Dinner
Check in with BFF to make sure we're all set for NYC tomorrow
Sleep early!

And of course, during all this, check email and call my house to see if there is a letter from Disney in the mail for me. Oh man. I don't know how I'm going to check my email at work. Lou might have to be constantly checking it for me and text me if he finds anything out.

Oh, and I'm done!!!!!!!! (Most of you already know this. But I'm so happy! And yet up early! Why?!)

Andddd I apologize for ex-boyfriend's un-Disneyesque comments on Facebook. There's a very good reason why he is "ex" - Lou loves Disney!

 

[aroyer]

OK, you guys are an awesome way to start the day- HI-larious!

Lots to do today... no motivation to do it! (They say admitting you have a problem is the first step, right??)

coffee, coffee, coffee.... (this has been a bit of a sore point in my mornings, we like the Coffee Mate pumpkin spice creamer this time of year and we can't find it...)
make bed
dressed
DD up, dressed, watered, fed, presents packed
DS up, dressed, watered, fed
take DD to school
print envelopes for Cmas cards (figured that was the easiest way considering writing with the right hand is not happening)
laundry (didn't I just do this?)
start thinking about pack list for next week
dishes
tie bows...
take DH's coworker gift that I told him he would forget this morning to him?? or let him come all the way home to get it??
oops, forgot to put: pick up DD from school

I do need to wrap...but can't get paper til tomorrow as I have to be at school for DS9's party @ 1pm.... I'm afraid I'll get side tracked...and besides I need to take my boys out to shop for everyone tomorrow anyway...

I need to bake tomorrow too....
Dad is requesting chex party mix from me..
I need to make 2 batches of brownies for the basketball dinner fundraiser.. My boys don't play for the team...BUT the senior boys and my DsS18 used to play on the travel and middle school teams together...so these are like my extra boys & I love them dearly! This year will be a very tearful senior night!!!

Great! It will be here when I return from school. which reminds me..
1. I need to get ready to go to school.
2. I need to go lecture the little boy I watch about using dirty words @ school. I had the teacher talk to me and I called his mom. He is currently on the couch sweating it out! Boy, is he in trouble. Mom told me to talk to him now so he knows Mom, Dad and I are all on the same page and since I've help raise him since he was newborn.. he knows our family is his family & their family is our family!!!!

Deb - I laugh every time you write about "DS21's way too cute GF" - good luck wrapping!

Don't get me wrong, I love her to death! But she is like Reese Witherspoon's twin. And just sooo sweet! If anyone saw the cover of the Avon catalog with Reese on it, you have seen a pic of my son's DGF. My DH actually thought it was her pic on the cover...we all got a chuckle out of that one

 

[ddavis860]

If y'all look at the weather map on weather.com, and see the dark purple patch Yeah, that's over my house! 12+ is what they are predicting We are battened down. DH did the market run while I was at work

So, we will be good unless the power goes out... DH left the generator at the beach thinking he was going down for another hunting weekend

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Debbie, how is the weather?
Looks like your area is gonna get hit pretty bad.. Sorry!
