I finished shopping for stocking stuffers yesterday. I also ordered one more thing for each ds. Dh is supposed to go out and finish his shopping today. I bought most everything online this year.
I am not anti-gun but every time I see anything like this(these types of stories and posts are all over FB) I get the sickest feeling. I do not think this is a good idea.
our children
my 2 nieces
my 2 sisters and bil
my parents
my grandpa
ourselves
Most years I make good friends/dh's co-workers cookies/candy or a meal but that did not happen this year and I don't have time to worry about it.
This respiratory virus has kicked my butt. I really wanted to to just sit today but some things really needed tending to...I swept the kitchen, did 3 loads of laundry and wiped down the kitchen. I am done! Forgot I cleaned my bathroom, too.
I got my 2 year old bubbles, hex bug, candy cane M&Ms, hat/mittens, crayons, matchbox cars, toothbrush, sky toob toys, a yo-yo and a giant Christmas pen

Christmas Vacation is the only one I would worry about being age appropriate
I"m sorry you have a sick one. Dh and both boys are sick with some kind of sinus like virus--I am not good with sick people. I feel stressed and I am perpetually sleep-deprived as it is. It has not been the best day at our house. Right now they are all in my bed watching TV--thank God for small breaks ;)
My agenda was to deal with the sickies and get laundry done--DONE. I'm glad we are on break from school.
I've tackled just about everything that I plan on tackling today:
Made the bed
Cleaned bathroom
Vacuumed
Wiped down the kitchen
I need to wash diapers but that will have to wait until #2 to gets home from spending the day with the grandparents.
I started yesterday. The last few weeks I have started my Monday chores on the weekend and it has helped me tremendously to ease in Monday mornings.
I did 3 loads of laundry including a load of diapers--all folded and put away
Swept, vacuumed, dusted, mopped(3x--thanks to #2 and a red icing incident and then an apple juice incident... ;) )
Balanced checking acct
#1 woke up sick this morning so I had an unexpected trip to the store to get some meds. I try to keep a good stock of med but I had one cold tablet for him to take.
I need to make the bed
I need to stay motivated to cook dinner tonight--planning on enchilada soup
I have plans to paint snowmen with #2 sometime today--right now he is occupied with a babyfirst cartoon
I want to stay awake long enough tonight to watch a Christmas movie with the family
Sometimes I cook breakfast for him. If I make a lunch for him it is leftovers from the night before--meaning when the kitchen was cleaned I put some leftovers in a container that he can take to work.
Yes, this would be me...my other options are driving around by myself, walking around Target or getting a coke from sonic, some kind of junk food and watching mind-numbing tv...
