Hope everyone's day is off to a lovely start! :D We are officially on Christmas Break until January 20th...it's a long one this year due to moving. We should be all settled and ready to work by then. Ds has two online classes that start back earlier, but it shouldn't be a problem getting those done. Dd should have her bus route and will be able to take dgd with her. Dh just called and wants to meet at my favorite restaurant for lunch...also get the car inspected and a fog light on mine replaced. Yeah...chores and lunch! :party: Agenda for today: hit WM for some items we need this week pick up Ella Bella at boarders this morning tidy bedroom finish laundry and iron up everything from this weekend--the kids did this for me.

hjffkj Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 dh is heading to work in half an hour, I declared we're officially on Christmas break, and I have a lot of motivation to get things done right now. Sooo, I'm putting a Christmas movie on for the kids and knocking some things off my list. Once my nephew leaves I'll enlist the help of my children but until then they can watch a movie and run wild downstairs playing with all ds's bday gifts.

Luckymama Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Feeling kinda cruddy :( I'm definitely not walking outside in 38 degree weather! I will do a bit on the elliptical, as long as I can breathe properly. We just learned that we'll have a free gym membership through dh's work benefits beginning January 1 :party: Dh has taken that as a sign to take the next week or so easy in the exercise department ;) Dd19 is going to make some Russian teacakes for us to share with family Wednesday and Thursday :) We just have to hide them from dh as he has never met a cookie he hasn't eaten :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 We'll forgive you, Lucky. But now I'm going to take a nap because missing 3 hours of sleep is starting to hit me hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeLovePassion Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I got my list pretty much complete. Shopping was nutso. But I managed. At least I didn't feel like I might pass out while shopping like on Friday. Dd2 perked up a bit today. She ate supper but then said her tummy hurt. She is tucked in now, buy I am praying she will sleep the night and not get sick again. Me sleeping on the living room floor, even with an air mattress, is restless.
