Okay, really there is no excuse for not blogging. First, I just finished book number 440 last night, so I only have 10 more to go to reach my goal! Pretty exciting!!!
Last week, I spent the entire week disinfecting my house. I cleaned EVERYTHING from top to bottom, shampooed carpets, cleaned the walls and baseboards...EVERYTHING! I also did ALL the laundry in the house and cleaned out closets and drawers. I have a box of girl stuff and a bag of boy stuff to give to a friend over the holidays! I then went through all the toys, loaded up a trashbag full of things to donate and things to throw away. The throw away sack went out with the garbage, and the donate bag went to the drop off place in the Target parking lot. Usually I like to take the kids with me and drop them off in person, but this year...I just dont have time for that.
Right now I am trying to make some sort of plan to get everything done ASAP....so far, here's what I have.
Today - Lunch with a friend...Hobby Lobby shopping.
Thursday - HEB shopping for cookies and fill up with gas.
Friday - Bake 3 dozen cookies
Saturday morning - Christmas pictures taken...rush home, upload photos, enter photos into Shutterfly account, whip up a Christmas card, and finish up the photo books (They are complete...just waiting on our Christmas photo.) Press the order button!
Saturday afternoon - Drive to Houston for Cookie exchange.
Saturday night - Drive back home
Sunday - Take kids to Sea World...Glad I am writing this all down - becaus I just realized that I will wait to order Shutterfly stuff until after I upload pics from Seaworld!!! Duh! Gotta get the kids at Candy Cane Lane in there!
Monday - Me and two other mom's from Logan's school are taking all our kids to Austin to go get pics with Santa at the mall. I figure if we go on Monday after school the traffic wont be so bad.
Monday evening I will finalize my Christmas cart and make the purchases online. I sure hope that give amazon enough time to get my shipment here so I can wrap everything before Christmas! YIKES Geez! I don't even know if anything will be ordered in time...I swear next year, I am getting our Christmas pics done The day after Thanksgiving....I do this every year and end up stressed to the bejesus!
Happy thoughts, Happy thoughts, Happy thought!!!
Good note...I can have the photo books sent directly to my mom and grandparents...I can always go to Target and just put together a quick photo card right there for the rest of friends and family..actually I think I can do it on Shutterfly and have them print it at Target - that may actually only be prints...I need to look in to that! Grrr.
Oh man...I also need to get my niece and nephews gifts! UGHHHH AND MY SISTER! SHIT!SHIT! SHIT!
I also have to make all the kids in Logan's class little gifts and one for his Teacher...hence the trip to HOBBY LOBBY...I think I will make my sister something! Sounds good!
