Good morning!

today I have:
....coffee
....fold all the laundry that got washed yesterday
....take DS to pick out a gift for one last friend
....sew stuff now that my sewing room is all clean and freshly organized
....DH is cooking tonight -- turkey burgers
....possibly go to fencing tonight??? Otherwise, stay home and watch Matrix 4 
....write/stamp/mail some cards:   friend's dad's 90th bday; friend for xmas; thank you to the vet
....text a friend who sent a card, see if she has time to call/chat
....anything else I think of (maybe take those who want for their booster shots, and then decide if we are or aren't going to risk going to Disney and if we are, call and get the tickets sorted before it's too late/they book up)

Have a great day!

Recertification-went to the website, but it must be too early

Lesson plan

Listen to Christmas music

Read a Christmas story

Pick up test kits from Wal Mart-dh gone for them right now

Good morning, all! 

My mom's surgery did not go well.  It went from a 2 hours tops procedure to Dr stepping out to call me several times.  Everything they tried to do fell apart, so they went with an alternative that will require lots of extra care.  She is upset, on lots of pain meds, will probably understand more of what happened today.  Dr said she should be able to come home in 2-4 days, given how well she adapts.  In the long run, it is probably the best outcome for her.  

To do today:

• coffee
• drive, visit with my mom, possible meeting with team to learn care routine
• maybe pick up a few gifts on the way home, finish some items for Christmas dinner
• more coffee, lesson plan 
• pork chops and bbq sauce in the crockpot for dinner...maybe make some cookies 
• read, relax

Have a great day!

Good morning! Way more to do than I like, but oh well. I’d like to just read books all day!

Dd is off with my sister in law and a cousin for a makeover and lunch out.

Ds is still at a friend’s house. 

I am making breakfast and listening to Christmas music.

Later:

Flank steak into marinade ✔️ 
Pick up milk ✔️ 
Pick up boy ✔️ 
Call mom
Make bread (fed starter early today, so it will be ready)

Budget!
Register Ds for youth group retreat later in January.
Wrap gifts?

Read!

3 hours ago, math teacher said:

I had to google these, never heard of them, and they sound very good.

@readinmomSorry your family is having to deal with all this.

Still catching up on my previous lists.

Butter is on the counter getting soft for baking cookies.

laundry is going

organized a couple pantry cabinets- started out as looking for molasses and turned into organizing and cleaning out.

 

[mom31257]

@readinmom, I'm so sorry the outcome is not what you had hoped for!  I pray she continues to improve and the continued care plan is something easily managed. 

I went out and got all the shopping done. 

I put together the neighbors' gift bags and delivered 3 of the 4. 

I started a load of laundry. 

We leave in about 40 minutes to go see Eternals. 

[ScoutTN]

Went to the bank
Got bball shoes for Ds and he got gifts for Dh and Dd while wr were there.
Watered the poinsettias.

Eating lunch, then back to my list.

 

[MooCow]

Cleaned the kitchen 

Delivered stuff to most of the neighbors, have 2 left 

Defrosting meat for tacos 

Cleaned off kitchen table , found a place for all of youngest stuff 

Trying to decide what tablecloth to put on, my table is really large and I'm going to have to use two LOL

[TheReader]

@readinmom, sorry to hear that the surgery didn't go well, but hoping/praying the recovery and path forward is smooth. 

 

I took DS shopping, and we successfully picked out a gift for his friend. 

Came home, wrapped said gift, and the 2 for the other friends. 

Put away all the wrapping stuff. 

Took a (way too long) nap. 

Folded towels. 

got some progress done on a sewing thing. 

Dinner plans have changed, so thawing that out now. 

Fencing is on - last chance before the holiday. 

Going up to sew some more. 

[MooCow]

Went to go start dinner and "someone" ate most of the homemade tortillas I bought this weekend. Sigh. I'm so over it. Dd is going to the grocer and said she'd pick some up. 😩 

[TheReader]

Decided to actually be good, and fold the remaining laundry. Done with that, and 2 of 3 kids have collected theirs from the laundry room. 

Hanging out for a bit with DH. 

[ScoutTN]

Did deskwork for a while - not done, but done for tonight. 
About to work on dinner. Earlier than I'd planned bc I forgot that Dh and Dd have choir.
Wine!

 

[MooCow]

The person who ate them decided to wait until dd got back because they really didn't like the homemade tortillas. Smh 

I better get alone time at a reasonable time tonight

 

[ScoutTN]

Kitchen is tidy. 
Butternut squash is roasting. 
Need to put the fresh baked bread out of sight or Ds will eat it all! 
 

Reading.

[MooCow]

Got some chill time w/ my neighbor bestie. I feel much better. 

The kitchen is not gross. I am ignoring the pans on the stove and I'm going to bake cookies just for me in what flavor I want 🙂

[TexasProud]

@readinmom Sorry the surgery didn't go as planned. 

@MooCowSo glad you got time with your bestie.  I haven't had time with mine in 4 months or so.

@ScoutTN I miss choir practice.
