DS17 got the call last night. No School Today! His school is in the city, and I think they are having a prob with s*ow removal. They might cancel tomorrow too. I think they should, the dismissal is at 1130...what's the point

DH warned me that the walks at work are iffy at any given time...so I hope I don't break anything important!

 

[morgansmom2000]

Everyone be safe!

I'm working today. Got a line on the Mother-Daughter ornament over near where I work, so I'm going to run over there this afternoon...Here's hoping!

No delay, no cancellation, so Princess is going to school! Only the 3 days this week, so really, why miss it?

Hope everyone has a super Monday!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

My list for today:
It's a hot chocolate day for sure
Make DH's lunch

Bake a batch of cookies - I revised and added more Disney dining reservations for our trip (less than 2 weeks to go!!!) instead
Prep dinner and write directions for whomever gets home first to put it in the oven
Work
Come home to dinner on the table!!!
Help DS make his GF's gift
Wrap presents
Bake 2 batches of cookies

Have a great day everyone!

 

[PinballFamily]

Card-making factory today!

Gotta get the teacher gifts done... The primary teachers and bus drivers already got their gifts from us, but we now have to finish the speech therapists, OTs, inclusion specialists, homeroom teachers...and on and on! Each is getting a cute little lunch box tin of homemade greeting cards.

The good news...and the better news... Good is that I finally found the box with the tree skirt in it so the kids can do their handprints on the skirt after school today. Better is that I can actually get stuff done today instead of sitting by the computer and mailbox waiting for Z2Hs info to come from the Disney College Program.

(She does seem to have rebounded nicely...isn't it funny how booking a great vacation at WDW can do wonders for your spirits?!?)

Also, dog walking (or sledding!) and another batch of fudge needs to happen today...

[PrincessNancy96]

The little boys have theirs to wrap..and DH needs to take care of mine (I already wrapped a few of them).

Tomorrow I need to wrap the gifties and stuff the stockings and I'll be done.. (2 days early, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!)

I'm getting ready to take DS13 to basketball practice and I'll come home and bake for a while.... got lots I want to make..another batch of chex mix for sure because my dad was stingy and would NOT share, he hid the container in the car.. BRAT!

 

[bigbabyblues]

I'm WAY ahead of you guys.....you're still wrapping, and I already GOT my Christmas gift!!!

DH had my the diamond from my engagement ring reset in white gold for me, to match the band he got me for our 10th anniversary a couple years ago! He gave me the new ring with the empty setting last week, so he could take my ring and have the diamond taken out. I got it back over the weekend.

To do list (way late on this today):
Worked today
DH drove afternoon bus
dinner (DH)
DS9 to basketball practice
work on laundry
clean kitchen
start getting house ready for Thursday night

Have a great week!

Ooooooh, I've been dying to get my rings dipped in platinum! White gold sounds good too Merry Christmas to *you*!

 

[bigbabyblues]

Thanks! The only reason I got it early is because he knew he couldn't get mine away from me without me noticing it was gone. He said he's thought about taking it while I was in the shower and just not telling me, but he knew I'd freak.

No more wearing a yellow solitaire with a white band, lolol!
