Good morning, everyone!  I need to tackle the day before it tackles me!  I was up late last night chatting with my cousin and awaiting updates on my grandfather.  The end of his earthly life is very near and I expect that he may pass today.  At this point, we are praying for a quick, peaceful passing.  (He broke his hip about a month ago and has now stopped eating and has developed an infection).  There will be travel arrangements to make for my dad to travel to NY.  I feel torn regarding my own decision as to whether or not I should travel for the funeral.  

 

daycare child (8-5pm)

fold and put away 2 loads of laundry

strip bed linens, wash, dry, and put back on beds (this will likely take 3 loads).

empty/reload dishwasher

wrap presents 

write out Christmas cards / take picture of kids / order prints from CVS / mail cards

prep dinner in the crockpot

dd16: APUSH, AP Language, finish Spanish, work on Chem mid-term, Pre-Calc

ds: work on Emergency Preparedness, Environmental Science, and Archaeology merit badges for BS

make bank deposit for dd9's GS troop

dd16: ballet class (4-5pm)

make final decisions re: Christmas baking / make grocery list 

vacuum / sweep

wipe down bathrooms / clean toilets

Good Morning, Ladies!

We've got school to get through today.

I'm going to work on another batch of Christmas cookies

Work on crocheting my Infinity Scarves

Get a few last Christmas cards in the mail

Organize the packages from Amazon I've started getting in the mail.

 

That's about it. I'm planning on having an "at home" day. No plans to go out. I hate having to go out. I like being at home!

I think I need this thread today.

 

Not even sure what I have to get done.  Suffering from a Christmas party that ran late and lack of sleep.

 

Currently getting dressed and getting Dc moving this morning!  Posting later with more.

 

ETA: Popping back in so I don't look like a complete slacker.

 

Here's what I got done besides school work...

boxed and mailed my Aunt's gifts

finished baking cookies

washed a ton of dishes from the cookie baking

cropped and printed the photo reference for Dd's latest painting project

forced Dh to make a decision about what we are doing tomorrow (we were supposed to take a day trip)

went to Kohls to make a payment

decorated the piano

decluttered our family room

put away laundry

arranged to take my mom out for her birthday

11am update:

Kids were bickering this morning and I could see the day headed downhill.  I decided to change the mood by making them a yummy breakfast (biscuits, bacon, and clementines).  It seems to have done the trick and all are getting along better now.  Phew!

I forgot my habits...I am not sure what that says exactly. And I think I have too many bad ones.

 

Turn worry into gratitude

drink water

some sort of exercise

some sort of creative endeavor

 

Maybe vagueness will help...

 

 

I forgot mine, too! Thanks for the reminder.

Finished my first aid corse early and now home for a bit.  dd14 went back to bed this morning and slept through her latin class instead of logging on after I walked out the door.  So not impressed with that one right now.  She had only 1 more class before xmas break and she missed both of last week's latin classes because we were out of town on the road both days.

Now having some lunch before I jump into chores and find the library items to return when I head back out for work in a bit.

Well, I am missing two addresses for three packages, so I might have to mail them tomorrow. It is not important that they are there by Christmas, but I just want to get it done!

 

Still doing some chores and overseeing teens. It is a beautiful day outside and so the boys are playing football. P.E., right?

Well, that was embarrassing.  I drove all the way into the big city only to find out that my doctor's appointment is actually tomorrow.  And I scraped the side of the car trying to get into a too small space in the parking garage as well.  

 

My kids impressed me by making pancakes for each other for breakfast and by fixing the digital piano so that they could have a jam session.  They didn't impress me by leaving an absolute mess in the kitchen.  And I can't walk in the living room because of the amp and the speakers and all the cords for the electric guitar.  But oh well, they are happy and occupied.

Today is the pits. 

I'm trying to talk to the library about their stupid new catalog system which does not work and creates all this extra hoops for us to jump through.  Oh - he just came back to me on hold and told me that he can't make it work either.  Just great.  I'll have to try again later.

 

Cancelled egg delivery for this week.

I think that I ordered new checks but I'm not sure since the site doesn't make it clear whether it went through or not.

I am just bone weary tired, I can'[t wait to get everyone back home and inside and head right to bed tonight.

Back home to good news on the college front. Last school heard from, accepted with merit aid! :party:  

I am still missing one address, but I hope to hear from them tonight. I think we are almost done for Christmas, got the winter break swim schedule today, and dh is doing judo pick-up!

 

Just chillin' here with a glass of red wine and a piece of dark chocolate.  A healthy snack....
