Pink and Green Mom Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Good morning! -coffee -finish my book (only about 50 pages to go) -wrap presents for dirty santa party tonight -lay out by pool if the sun is out today -maybe make chocolate pies for Christmas (might be better to do it tomorrow) -start wrapping gifts for kids and extended family -maybe take a walk and look at Christmas decorations people have up -make Whole30 potato salad -go to Christmas party at DS13's friend's house tonight (I am dreading this - it is a kid party and I don't really know many of the other moms; I hate going to parties when doing Whole30 and the hostess is a food-pusher; DH smartly declined the invite, wish I had too) Edited December 23, 2017 by Pink and Green Mom 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Good morning! I am car-less for most of the day, so that pushes my errands (which are the exciting ones of food for Christmas Day and maybe some extra stuff for ds2) to tonight. Like 7 pm or later. It is a little like a circus here, with everyone running in and out of the house. And somehow, I am the only one left here. But if I don't get out-there will be nothing to eat. To do: finish chores put away stuff girls got a costco last night (snacks and kleenex-no actual food) make sure ds1 gets off to coaching gig finish paper and coffee make some lists-so if I ever get out of here, I will know what to do. watch some football since I am home Mass tonight (but probably everyone will be gone and there will be no car here) get stuff at grocery store Have a great day! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Buffet breakfast at the hotel. Shopping for something the kids could wear for swimming. Kids took a swim, I found some shade and worked. Went to visit a race horse training stable. This was specially planned for my kids, but they were so tired and over-stimulated they did not appreciate it as they should have. In fact, one of them was a jerk. Feels like a mom fail, but I don't know what I could have done to prevent it. Put the kids to bed, ordered room service coffee, and I'm supposed to be working. I guess Saturday is just starting back home, but I'm whipped. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Hope you feel better, mommyof1! We are in Ohio, and it's snowing!! Yes, I get excited since we see so little of it in middle GA. Today is simple. I'm heading out soon for one gift I forgot, drop off a card at a relative's house, and to get our lunch. We eat out a lot while we're here. Our niece and her kids are coming over later, and we'll play some of our new games today. That's it. Fun and relaxation. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Cleaned two bathrooms, vacuumed upstairs, did a couple loads of laundry and tidied up the mudroom. Ds19 and I tried to clean out the hayboxes but the layer of crud at the bottom was frozen solid. We got two of the six done, but it was slow going. We went out for lunch, stopped at the grocery store, and got some coffee on the way home. Nice afternoon. Now I'm headed out to play ball with the dogs while I wait for the hay to steam. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Turns out, my mom forgot to make dinner reservations for tomorrow night, so we're getting PF Chang's takeout instead of eating there. Oh well, just so I'm not cooking, it's fine!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Got the tree up. Dd and I were crawling around under it, tightening the bolt things that hold it up. It would not stay vertical until dd discovered a low branch blocking the trunk. More crawling around, altogether too much time. But it was nice listening to carols as we decorated the tree, which looks lovely now, btw. Next year (or now), I am getting this tree stand with a foot pump. I don't care about the price at his point, lol. https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-christmas-tree-stand/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawana Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 After 10 hours of sewing, I have to call it quits. My neck hates me lol. Got the bodice done of the dress, so I am pretty sure I can add the skirt and put in the zipper tomorrow! And that doll's dress? The instructions sucked! You just never know with independent pattern makers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone here know if it really works that much better? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
