SKL Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Not necessarily in this order .... Church. Bring home kid's gym suit for washing. Drop off check for horse lease. Drop off library books. Get cash. Ask kids' friend's mom if he can come over on Monday? Organize and "wrap" extended family gifts. Print photos and assemble & address Christmas cards. Mail Christmas cards. Clean out critter cages and pack their food & stuff. Find & pack the pinewood derby car kits and past cars. Pack up the car and drive to the folks' house. (Might need a stop at a store or two.) Hand off critters to sister for babysitting. Exchange extended family Christmas gifts. See if Dad is able and willing to shape the pinewood derby cars while we are on vacation. Kids (and maybe me) watch Pride and Prejudice movie with my mom. Drive back home. Laundry. Bills. Work. Continuing professional education (legal and accounting) - document what I've done and take online courses to catch up. Some housework and whatever else gets done toward Christmas / travel.

Possibly take-out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Second batch of pumpkin bread in the oven. Linens folded and put away. Next load in the dryer. Reading. Watching LOTR takes too much emotional energy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
