Right now, I'm waiting for my husband to finish getting ready for his Christmas party. I swear he takes forever and is constantly asking if this looks okay or that looks okay.

RN you can read about my very interesting yesterday in my folder. RN I am taking enough cold meds to put down a horse so I'm only here in between bouts of sleep. It was all the cold meds though that allowed me to have a blast last night.

Rn, I watched Finding Nemo for the first time. I think I'm in love. It's hard for me to be able to watch animated pic, dh thinks they are just for kids. But he really liked it. Rn, I think I've got my Christmas schedule under some type of control. Sat. evening - about 100 round trip to sis in laws (she feels left out if she can't have things her way) for Christmas. Ran into my brother out shopping (that same sis in laws husband). He just goes with the flow, but did say when it comes to Christmas, she wants to be the Alpha (his words) and pouts if she can't control when, where and how things are done. Sunday evening 50 mile round trip to mother-in-law to be with dh's "outlaws" for Christmas exchange and finger foods. Monday 50 mile round trip to my Mom's house. I volunteered to do all the cooking and all she has to do is provide the house. At least Sat. evening I will be able to play with my brand new (3 month old) great-niece, 3 yr fun great-nephew and 1 1/2 year old great-niece who is one of the happiest toddlers and lots of fun. Whew, I'm tired already. But I can pull this off if dh helps. And he will help if he knows whats good for him (insert laugh). I also bought a cute new outfit (for me), navy pants and nave and white wide stripped top. Has that nautigal (SP?) look which I just love. I really need you guys to send positive thoughts and good luck my way. With my low energy levels, this will be a bit hard, but as long as my relatives are OK with it, all the hard work will be work it!

RN, Thanks Mamapors! Any help is greatly appreciated and I do know that those positive thoughts work. It's rediculous, but I have a spiral notebook started with all the things I need to do each day this week! Otherwise, I'd probably just sit there and say "I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START". Don't mean to yeal, but I'm one of those people (I'm sure there is a clinical name for it) that I start one task, reminds me of another task, semi-start it, and have to rush to get back to task #1, try and finish it, so on and so on. It's strange, when I worked outside the home in an office (30+ yrs) I had no problem multi-tasking. But now, it's just too easy to get distracted. And then to top it off dh asked me tonight if I was going to clean (really clean, not just the normal stuff) the house this week. AGHHH! He does help, but I want to go over it again after he "cleans". Oh, Scrooge, I'll get er done, but after Christmas, I'll need some me time.

Right now Landi, I am listening to it on my Direct Tv so the channels don't match. It's called A Classical Christmas. It's up with the classical music channels.

RN, working in an elementary school is deadly on a diet at this time of year (that's if I were on one, which I'm not yet, cuz it's this time of year). I have a desk full of very fattening goodies ...

RN luckily I went to bed just after midnight, I was VERY tired and wanted to be cheery for a Christmas lunch today. Around 4am ish I woke up and found that my LUXE double throw had slithered on the floor and that I needed to make a trip to the powder room downstairs. So I sleepily threw the throw on the bed, and went downstairs. Didn't bother with glasses. So I'm ready to come back to bed but think I'll scoop up the cat and bring her up too. Can't find the cat. Looking everywhere downstairs, hmm she wasn't in the bedroom, go upstairs, put on robe (it is VERY cold), glasses, look in bathroom and third bedroom upstairs, look in linen closet, look under my bed, calling for her all the while. Back downstairs, lights on, looking under, over, in back of and inside furniture, boxes, behind, etc, even places she couldn't have gotten to. Back upstairs, etc. Finally I look at my bed for the umpteenth time and pick up the LUXE throw. Right.. She's been under there all the time. ACK. Put the throw back under the duvet, crawled into bed and we both went back to sleep but only after I'd been up a couple of hours.

RN Thanks. THe little one promptly started crying right after that picture was taken. I mean absolutely squalling. The snowsuit she has on was a little bit small. It's a 12 months size, and she was only 9 months in the picture, but who knew that she'd be almost 23 pounds and 31 inches tall at 9 months? Big girl. Then the bigger one started crying because she couldn't feel her hands. I had to put them between my hands and rub the life back into them. ETA: The snowsuit the bigger one has on was mine when I was her age.
