The tree is up, the "Nick-Knacks" are out and the lights have been hung. All without any injuries. Can you believe it? We are slowly getting into the spirit but at least we are headed in the right direction. For example on Saturday I will be going to a women's brunch with my mom and sister at 9:30am, then going to a cookie exchange at 11, followed by the
USAA's Children's Holiday Party from 1-4pm and then coming home to change, breath and dress my daughter and husband for
Debb's annual boat parade/ holiday party on the water. My guess is that I will pass out by 8pm on
Debb's couch and will have to be dragged home like a dead corpse. I hope Shawn can carry my butt. Maybe a cocktail or two will keep me going. We will have to see.
I was able to order all of Shelby's new bedding and it is perfect. My vision for her room is all coming together. I will have to schedule my personal Handy-Man to make the appropriate adjustments in regards to shelving, frames and her new
canopy leaves. It's gonna be awesome! I will post a picture when we are done. I am thinking sometime after New Years. She will finally have a "Little Girl's Room". I went way to
practical with the farm. (Although I do LOVE it) And it sounds like
practical and
neutral were
unnecessary because Shawn doesn't want anymore children. O-well.
So as much as I love Christmas I would love to push it back about a week. I bought my last two gifts today. Thank GOD! I am excited to see all of Shawn's family that are coming into town. They are a lot of fun. I had an extreme blond moment and forgot to request Christmas off. Which I totally would have got, if I had only asked. But I have a great opportunity to make some really good money: Double-time Baby! I only work 12:30-6:30. That's not too bad. Then I have a three day weekend. Fri, Sat and I got Sunday off. Woo-Hoo.
Friday is the Snider Christmas. I am gonna squeeze baby Luke soo hard his cheeks turn red. He is so stink'in cute. I can't wait to see what everyone got. Not me- everyone else. The older I get the less I really care what I get for Christmas. Talk about getting older. I jumped straight to geriactrics. LOL! I can't wait to see Shelby on her scooter tomorrow. We put it out a day early. Shawn and I are going to put her new Big-Girl Pink room together in the morning. She will LOVE it.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Make special memories with your families and take a but-load of pictures of your children (if you have them). Say "Thank you " for every singe gift you receive this year. Remember it's a Recession People. And maybe actually be greatful that you have someone and something to be thankful for this year.
