- Present wrapping
- Change bedding
- Some printing (found a couple of sites with a paper nativity, good news booklet in various languages, 3d picture, etc)
- Hot chocolate out with dd
- A small bit of shopping (milk, eggs, bread, etc)
- Bake some mince pies

Dh is home sick so I'm not sure how that is going to completely impact my day. I do have to go grocery shopping and since he is home I can now go kid free. I was hoping to bake some cookies, I have some papers to get filed away for dh. Nothing real exciting

I have my niece today. Luckily my girls are off on Christmas break so they can help out. I'd like to clean the house up for company tomorrow. I need to throw something in the crockpot.
i have not wrapped any presents. I need to get a couple of gift cards. Still haven't baked anything. uggh!

More presents wrapped, ds still with me (i wanted my baby with me), homemade mushroom soup made and eaten, quite a chillaxing day so far.
After lunch, need to change ds (he's wearing his soup), going out for a few things and then cook dinner.

I need to:
- pick a few things up at grocery store
- make short bread cookies...some with maraschino cherries on top, some with candy cane and chocolate
- clean bathrooms
- vacuum
- possibly make nuts and bolts
- wash bedding
I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of right now...

I'm off work today. Feel horribly tired and headachy. Still, I have things that have to get done:
* buy one or two more Christmas presents
* wrap Christmas present(s)
* get a few more odds and ends at the grocery store
* go the library to pick up my holds, which are the remaining DVDs from Mr. Selfridge, season 2. I want to refresh my memory before Season 3 premiers on January 4.
* find time to visit my niece who is home from Syracuse
* find time to visit my best friend
* finish laundry
* get to bed early since I have to be up at 4 am tomorrow to get to work by 5:30.

We even have all of our things packed for our overnight. I've got one families gifts separated out for tomorrow and also have a bunch of good stuff that needs to go with us all together and Organized. I didn't bake the gf cookies and texted my brothers girlfriend and asked her if she wanted cookies or scones. She said scones so we did gf gingerbread scones instead. I'm beat! |

Thank you! I woke up headache-free. I got everything done yesterday except visiting my niece and best friend. When you have a short evening (in bed by 8:30 p.m.) it's hard to fit it all in. |
