Hola. Writing that out gave me quite a jolt! I feel mostly ready but time is running short.

Kids have the crud, nothing too crazy but it's been an exhausting morning because of it. S was up early and didn't sleep well because of a stuff nose so she is cranky. And C wow dude he is a mess. Same symptoms but he cried more than he didn't this morning. Shows kept him calmish as long g as he could sit on me, preferably my head...

It's quiet time, and I hope to get my lists together.

Your title scares me aggiebug. Must actually go Christmas shopping...

DH just got his schedule for the new job, four tens. He is really excited. Now we just need to talk to daycare to see if we can add an additional day for a couple of months.

Other than that work is quiet. Year end is coming so trying to prep for that and catch up on things. V has been waking up and complaining that his body hurts the past few nights, I think it's just mild growing pains though.

aggiebug, hope the crud is short lived and your kids start feeling better soon.

Eta, fixed words

aggiebug sorry! Sitting on your head is priceless.
kartish that's great for your DH!

Today was grocery shopping and I was so focused on getting out of there before it got too busy that I forgot some things...even when they were written on my list... So tomorrow I have to run some errands for that stuff. I have to get gift cards to finish up my presents! I also need to get cake ingredients for N's birthday request. Bday presents got wrapped today while she was at school! Next it's time to clean the house...ugh.

I think I might make beef bourguignon for Christmas. Because I am a little nuts. This is on top if homemade cinnamon rolls (actually 4 batches since I make them for friends too). Also I use speech to text to write out the name of the dish, I don't even try to sort it 😆

DH has done all of the Christmas shopping this year. Yay! Except I still don’t have his present sorted... yikes. Also need to have the boys do some crafts for the grandparents. MIL put out the one I did two years ago, and it reminded me. Last year’s was a bust and I was too sick to try again.

aggiebug hope everyone is healthy soon. I only have a vague idea of what beef bourgigion (should’ve done speech to text...) is

Thinking of the movie Julie & Julia now. I think this wouldn't be so bad if you already cook which I think you do.

lilyelayne whay kind of crafts do you do for grandparents?

[aggiebug]

lilyelayne it's basically a stew but it has a lot of steps to create amazing flavor. @dreekin I don't think it will be bad just a process. I think I can make some of Christmas Eve and finish it on Christmas day to reduce the intensity of the meal.

The one MIL put out was a handprint Christmas tree on canvas.

I tried handprint snowflakes last year but it just looked weird & messy & neither like snowflakes nor like handprints.
