Unfortunately he may have a sprain that we're keeping an eye on. Today: wash the ski wear. There's mud on everything. take down the Christmas tree air up my tires dinner: dh is bringing home pizza from the grocery store quick-service. I'll make a pot of coffee and chill the prosecco. watch the ball drop 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 @math teacher Hoping you got sleep last night. @mom31257 I am glad you are feeling better. We were visiting family out of state yesterday for our family Christmas that got put off because 2 of my kids got sick from Nutcracker. We waited 2 weeks because we didn't want to pass on germs to our elderly family. Had a fun day and the kids either late last night or early this morning are going through their piles and piles of gifts. I didn't sleep at all last night so it isn't going to be a productive day. Praying I get some sleep tonight. Other than that just laundry, school work, getting the house back in shape, and maybe a grocery order. Tonight will be chill just a movie or something. We should put away Christmas but not feeling up to that. It is snowing a tiny amount here. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommyoffive Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Just did the last Christmas gift exchange. We started years and years ago that kids make homemade presents for each other and dh and I. It is always so sweet and creative. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Arrived. My favorite restaurants here are all closed today. Camp pick up is usually on Saturday morning, so I am usually here on a Friday night. Will leave in a bit to go explore. Lovely sunny afternoon and I could use some exercise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 The grocery store is closing an hour before dh gets off work, which was not the information we got 2 days ago when we asked about ordering ahead. Oh, well. Our other pizza place is open and dh is stopping by their drive through on the way. DS's knee looks better today than yesterday but to be on the safe side he has it in a wrap and we'll reassess again tomorrow. He's still complaining about it but it's not hindering him. Tires are aired up, yard is straightened up, and oldest ds helped me put away the Christmas tree. I may take a short nap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 No real restaurants open here at all. I got some microwavable things and healthy snacks at the grocery instead of fast food. Not bad. Called a friend. Texted with Dd. Gonna read and/or watch tv. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Tried to nap, not successful. Annoying because I tried everything to have it work out. Hoping for sleep tonight. Kids are all watching a movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
