Well it’s Dec 20 and my head is spinning a bit.  I have a few things to still get done, including sending my Christmas card.  (well to be truthful I just finished printing them this morning) Okay you can shake your finger at me now, I have procrastinated to the last minute shame on me.

Other things on my to do list: (some I will get done today a few I know I won’t get done but I put them on the list anyway)

  • Touch up spare room
  • Make baking gifts for hubby’s job
  • Color my hair (the gray is adding up)
  • Laundry (oh dear that monster is getting big again)
  • Crafts with my kiddos to give the grandparents

I am sure there is more just have to think about it and write it down

What do you still have to do for the Holiday’s?

We have been taking it easy and having some fun staying home lately.  It is so darn cold that it makes me want to hibernate indoors where it is warm and cozy.

Doesn’t Get Better Than This For Me As A Mom

Awesome Begins But ……

Well Sunday started great, we all slept in and we were well rested.   Even our 3 yr old slept in more than usual, what an adorable little tyke, our 7 yr old followed his example and was quiet for us.  Blissful start to a day, we were all happy campers.

We had the sitter scheduled to come in at 1pm till 7pm, we really needed a date day. (trust me on that, oh and hear me whining)  We went to Best Buy to do a bit of last minute shopping, then off to the movies we went.  We went to see the last Harry Potter movie, popcorn and all.  Wow that stuff is pricey, could buy well quite a few things with that popcorn cost.  It is good almost taste good enough to make one forget the price.  (Not)  We actually went to a nice theater which we have not done in years, always pains me to pay full price for 2 hrs of entertainment.  Never the less we had a good time, truly did.

We are driving home and then it hits the back discomfort that turns to pain.  Enough to make us get home to pick up our kids and turn around and drive to the emergency room.  We got to the ER at 9 pm, my sweetie went in and we stayed in the van and slept till 2:30 am, that was crazy I know.  Turn out that since my husband had that kidney stone removed on Thursday and was taking pain medicine, which cause one to not go number two and cause terrible pain.

He was sent home after numerous test to make sure nothing else was wrong with medicine to so to speak get things going.  I was relieved that all was okay but oh oh my the kids were cranky and so was I.  We got home and by the time we all winded down it was 4:30 am before we all got to sleep.  This cause lots of chaos on Sunday and finally today it is all back to normal.

I want a rain check on our date, I want a redo.  (whine some more)
