1:15 and all is well!!

FB got my time this morning so no list.

Took kids to school - DD DNephew and DNiece - busses were messed up due to ice. Then took Little one to Little Gym. Then met furniture designer at model home - think I can shave a bit off the furniture budget and move to more builder options budget!

I have soooo much to do. Went to storage unit to find Christmas stockings and a few other things. Its so sad and overwhelming to me. I found luggage my friend needs to borrow, xmas tree stand, DD Razor scooter, xmas door wreath. But no stockings. I really do not wanna go back down there. When I open those doors I just wanna start throwing things away or taking them to Goodwill. Frustrating.

Anyhow...sounds like everyone is being productive today. I have a break now - gotta get some laundry folded and clean out my car. I really need a nanny Everything would be sooooo much easier without DD2 following me around! Can't be sneaky with an extra shadow. And I so wanted my Elves to arrive tonight after watching Prep and Landing....dang it. Riding lessons tonight are going to keep me from getting to town and finding any elves. Maybe tomorrow. Must put on my creative hat.

OK enough venting and feeling sorry for myself. Off to be productive!!

Well while today was only kind of blah in doing things it was an awesome mail day. I got a lovely card from Ann (my second card- the first being from Stephanie last week), an awesome package from Rita (thanking me for coordinating the secret sister swap)- very sweet and filled with little things I had not seen before but fit my life so well, and my birthday package from Oh My Crafts- a bind it all 2.0. Now I just have to figure out how to use it.

On the other hand I was trying to put all my stuff away in my scrap area and realized I so need to be on the ban wagon in the coming year- not only to save for a new car for me but to keep my stuff in my space- I don't have room for more.

What a

day from

.

I went to work this morning (right after I put Princess on the bus). My boss told me yesterday at 4:30 that a completed application that he had had since 10:00 that morning had to go overnight mail TODAY to an insurance company...Okay, I have a bazillion things on my list to do, but I'll come in for a bit and get it mailed out. Get there, he's not there, and I can't find the application...Okay...I start working on the mail merge for the annual calendars we send out because they have to go out before next Wednesday. He shows up...I need to leave by 10:30, because I'm having "lunch" (at 11:40 and it takes well over 30 minutes to get home) with Princess at her school. Well, the app is going to have to go out tomorrow...What? Why did you tell me at 4:30 yesterday that it had to go out TODAY? OH.MY.GOD. So, instead, I did a bunch of his emails and sat around waiting for him to review one before I left because I knew he would have a cow if I didn't wait for it (and he was on the phone). I didn't get out of there until nearly 11:00.

Flew home to make it to school in time and had lunch with Princess. Are you kidding me? They probably have 8 minutes to eat by the time they get lined up, go through the line (they have to input their "code" each time), and get their food and milk. Holy crap, no wonder she's starving when she gets home!

Ran out to do a few more errands and got it all done in time to come home and veg for a while, but this has just been a long long day! So glad I got my HP movie, and I got the 2nd Glee soundtrack. I Glee. I'm a GLEEK!

I hope everyone had a great day and is feeling better!
