Tuesday's Mission Cool, I actually did this one today. I haven't quite decided what I'm doing tomorrow, other than my aunts later in the afternoon. Den, living room, and bathroom, but those will be fairly quick rooms to clean. Also going to start beef stew in the crock pot. I really don't know after that. Probably more laundry I guess.

Well, I am not feeling well, came home from work yesterday, got into bed and I am just getting up to have some chicken noddle soup. I ran the recycling and trash down so that my foyer is not overflowing, and I cleaned up the sink. Now I am off to take some advil and crawl back into bed.

Oh no, Dipo! Hope you feel better very quickly! I really haven't done much of anything. Picked up the living room and vacuumed it and that was about it. Ran to Michaels and now I'm home again. Darren's working ot today, kids have drama after school, so I'm on my own til 4-4:30. Realized earlier this is really the first chance I've had in a couple weeks to sit and enjoy the quiet for a while.

Wednesday's Mission I can't say I accomplished all that much today other than the living room and the trip to Michaels. The kids drama club was cancelled so I ran to pick them up. Took them to my aunts where sis and I strung lights on the tree and then the kidlets all hung up the ornaments. That was really about it except helping Kota with some homework later in the evening. Tomorrow, different story. Kota's getting an award in the morning so I'll drop the kids off at school, then go sit and wait for 20 minutes or so for the assembly to start. Need to get back home and throw dinner in the crockpot and then go to my aunts to help her with a shower, she has a dr appt Thursday. Need to do a little more cleaning around the house (nothing major) and some laundry. Darren has school, Caleb has robotics. Busy day.

Feeling much better, thanks. Didn't do anything but cover my plants again with a sheet to protect from the frost last night.

I think that's about all you can do, Dipo, well cover them and hope and pray! I'm glad you're feeling better! So far today, Dakota's award assembly, home for a bit, then went to my aunts to help her with her shower and do a bit of cleaning up there. I'm going to eat a little lunch and ponder about what I'll do the rest of the day.

Thursday's Mission I got a little cleaning up done, but that was about it. Really didn't have too much to do anyways, lol. Tomorrow my aunt has a dr appt so I need to be to her house around 9 - 9:30. Don't have too much to do after that I'll probably wrap a few Christmas gifts and do a load or two of laundry.

Friday's Mission I'm going to Caleb's awards assembly tomorrow morning, then getting gas in my car (I've got just enough to get the kids to school and stop by the gas station on the way home, lol.) Plan on cleaning the house and doing some laundry the rest of the morning and afternoon. Sis and I are going to do Christmas shopping, but we decided to do it later rather than earlier. With my morning, if we waited til I wasn't busy, we'd have to rush to get through before it was time to pick the kidlets up from school. Going later means we won't have to race around. I'm planning on picking up dinner when we're done, so not worried about being too late. That's about all I have planned for tomorrow.

My sister cleans today! I asked her to finish changing the sheets since I only got the pillows done. I got rid of recycling, cleaned out the fridge, ran the dishwasher, wrapped all the presents, straightened out the closet (so Lisa can deep clean it), cleaned the kitchen and that was it. I felt very accomplished last night.

Wow you did get a lot accomplished! I feel like a slug, lol! Lets see, I went to Caleb's awards assembly. Was so hungry I was shaking by the time I left so ran by Mcdonalds (yick) where they totally screwed up my order and I didn't know til I got home. Wrote out my Christmas gift shopping list for later, picked up the living room (not much to do,) and cleaned the kitchen. I'm kind of in a twitchy mood right now, not sure what I want to do and can't keep focused too long on anything. Darren had a half day of work, was supposed to go golfing with his buddies afterwards if it wasn't raining. It's actually halfway nice outside, not raining, not freezing, but still pretty cloudy and soaking wet so I thought they probably wouldn't go, but he's not home yet so guessing they did. I kind of want to be out shopping, but I know I'm better off waiting til later so I don't have to rush.

Monday's Mission Weird, Flylady talking about disposing of old medicines. Lancaster recently started collecting meds (prescription and over the counter) in special white mailboxes. Read about it last week, I need to find out where they are (though for some reason I think it's in front of the sheriff's station, but could be wrong.) Friday and yesterday was Christmas shopping. I got most of it done, hit some awesome deals, and think I did fairly well. Today, grocery shopping. Was rather surprised to go into Costco this close to Christmas and find it not too busy, especially since I'd gotten a late start and didn't make it there til after 1. Was also a fairly cheap trip because I didn't have to buy any meat today (might go back later in the week for a pack of chicken, but if not, no biggie) and bought a lot of fruits and veggies. Came home and seperated and put away the groceries and planned out the menu for the next week or so. Did a couple loads of laundry and wrapped some presents. Also decorated nieces piggy bank. Was a pretty productive day, but I didn't get any cleaning done. Tomorrow is cleaning and gift wrapping (only have 3 days with both kids in school all day and I'd like to have the wrapping all done then.) Sis wants me to take her to recycle cans which works for me since I have a couple bags that could go over too. Should be a pretty quiet day for the most part though. The kids have a minimum day Friday, so they're only in school 4 and a half days. Dakota has a drs appt later this week (Wednesday I think.) There's no robotics for Caleb this week, but they're having a party in drama club and Caleb has his Christmas concert Wednesday night. I'm hoping to get quite a bit of heavy cleaning done, along with the wrapping, this week so that when the kids and Darren (his last day is Friday too) are on vacation we can spend more time doing fun stuff.

Have fun wrapping presents. I enjoyed the weekend, we had rain and it was fun to watch holiday movies and listen to it rain. I swept the front porch, cleaned up the balcony a little - swept some leaves off between rains, cleaned up the kitchen, changed the sheets and just hung out. I need to start making my plans for the holiday week - I am off and don't want the whole week to go by without accomplishing something, LOL.

Tuesday's Mission I got almost nothing done I'd planned on today, lol. Took my sis over to recycle and then ended up sitting at her house for a while, middle niece is sick and she was wanting company. Once I got home and ate lunch I ran to cash my check then finished up the Christmas shopping, except for one gift. Then ran and got that one this evening. I'm all done, all done! Well worth not getting anything at home done, lol. So tomorrow will be the wrapping and cleaning day. I also need to get Caleb's dress clothes ironed and his shoes spiffied up for his concert Wed. night. Dipo, are you off next week or the week of Christmas?

I am off the week of Christmas, yeah! Mailed out all the rest of my Christmas Cards, redid the litter locker, filled my water and soda bottles, changed the filter in my brita dispenser and cleaned up the kitchen, I had some hand washing to do. Did the office mission already, brought in some stuff to put in our shredders here at the office.

Wednesday's Mission Those Christmas week vacations are awesome. I joke about Darren driving me nuts when he's off for the holiday, but that really is a huge perk of his job that the plant shuts down for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I was a bum today. Woke up with a headache I just haven't been able to shake and that seriously sapped my energy. I did get some done, picking up and what had to be done (dishes and ironing Caleb's dress clothes) but that was about it. Tomorrow Dakota has a derm appt. I'm going to keep her out of school for the morning instead of dropping her off and then running back to get her. Haven't really given too much thought to what else I'm doing after I drop her off at school, though I'll most likely do the cleaning and wrapping I didn't do today.

Last night I cleaned out the fridge and ran the dishwasher. This morning I hauled out the trash and some recycling. I also worked on my holiday plan, pulled some recipes I may want to try. My sister is coming over for desert on the 26th to celebrate and I was thinking maybe I should have some sort of appetizer that isn't sweet available, so now I need to figure that out.

I took Kota to the dermatologist. He's pleased with how the combo of stuff (pills, cream, lotion, etc) is working. It's not doing as well as accutane or as quickly, but she's still too young for that. He was also pleased I'd scheduled her for a facial next week, saying he thought that would really help. And told us she didn't have to come back for 2 months this time. Dropped her off at school and I came home and just finished a quick lunch. Haven't decided what I'm doing next but I need to get to it soon.

Thursday's Mission Haven't thought about my day tomorrow yet, but probably will be staying home most the day. I think it'll be a pretty quiet day, just doing housework and laundry, wrapping more presents, that kind of stuff.

Ok, don't have to do that mission, LOL, my shower/tub were cleaned last Friday. Just unloaded the dishwasher, swept the leaves off the balcony and made some dinner last night. I need to take out some more recycling but I have dinner plans tonight so may not do much.

Skip the recycling tonight and relax and enjoy dinner! I've been picking up here and there this morning. Did a few dishes. Haven't done much else yet. I need to go get gas in my car before the kidlets get out of school and need to get some dishsoap, should have picked that up the other day while we were out. And then need to finish picking up around the house.

Friday's Mission Tomorrow will be more cleaning at home. Then maybe to my aunts later in the day (or late morning/early afternoon Saturday.) Darren's going to work early so he'll be home right around the same time the kids are. He's off for 2 weeks, the kids 3. The kidlets will be cleaning their rooms, getting their laundry caught up and getting rid of anything they've outgrown or don't need/want anymore over the next few days. Christmas tradition. Saturday I think we're taking them, along with our nieces to the Griffith Park Light show. Older two nieces will spend the night, but we'll drop the baby off when we get back, give the older girls a chance to do older girl stuff. Then Sunday night we're going to see the Christmas train, which was a lot of fun last year. I also have some gift wrapping to finish, some, hahaha! Ok, I have a lot of wrapping to do. I may make some jewelry, bookthongs, cell phone charms for presents too before Christmas. I haven't done much of that this year which is pretty strange for me. That's going to be my weekend.

Had a great dinner last night, ended up with some roasted pecans and a huge wreath for my door, from the birthday girl, LOL. I told her she wasn't supposed to give us presents. Anyway didn't do anything at home, got in late and just stuck the wreath on the floor by the tree so the kitties can sniff it. I leave early today to start my vacation, so once I get home I will put out the wreath, and make my christmas cinnamon buns (the flylady recipe that has to rise overnight) and do a couple of thank you cards.

That was really nice of your friend! Sounds like you had a good time. Heh, I forgot that with my nieces in elementary school and my kids in jr high, my nieces day is shorter than my kids. I've been teasing sis and bil all morning about the fact I get an extra 30 minutes before Christmas vacation starts in my house, lol. I ran over to my aunts, did a few things there and also dropped off the Christmas present sis and I have for her. It's one of those corner shelf units, smaller than the curio cabinet she has (which is about to fall apart,) but still big enough I had to drop it off now instead of taking it with us on Christmas. It's hidden in the girls closet for now. While there, a buddy of my bils stopped by with another friend and his wife. Small world, his wife was an old...well, not friend, she hung around our group of friends way back when. Then took sis to the store, fine by me, I needed salt and hamburger buns and we planned out aunts Christmas dinner since her and her companion don't join us for Christmas dinner at bils uncles (too far for her to drive and too many kids for her to enjoy herself.) Now I'm getting ready to go pick up the living room and vacuum, also going to carpet clean a small area...Darren knocked over a soda last night and all I did at the time was blot it up.

Living room and bathroom are done. I vacuumed, but haven't carpet cleaned and I haven't mopped the bathroom yet because I plan to do the den and kitchen too. And can't do those til I do the carpet cleaning cuz I ususally make a huge mess on the kitchen floor, lol.

You are way too busy Wargod. I am leaving here at 2:30 and my plan is to hang my wreath on the door and then sit on my balcony IN THE SUN (it is a miracle that we have sun) and read my book. Can you tell I am excited. Well maybe I will take the recycling down to the bins, but I am not doing many more chores than that.
