up early in anticipation of getting the kids ready for school this morning.
First day back is usually not a very pleasant one :(
Well, it is for parents
but not so much for students and their teachers ;)
So??? Whatcha doin' today?

nothing much today. I've already made the beds and tidied up after the kids left for school & dh off to work. What I really need to do is spend time with my coupon binder!! I won 2 weeks in a row of the football pics contest and I have coupons everywhere!
Had company yesterday, so didn't get a chance to drag down the Christmas decorations, so I might attempt that later! Oh, and I need to make a run to CVS.

Right now, griping at Husband about the wastefulness of just having the tv on in the background. Dude, it's just playing the same "news" on a loop. Find something to watch or turn it off. So wasteful!
I'm still crocheting and elbow deep in other crafts I'm trying to get done before Christmas.

Monday = Laundry Day!!
Honestly, I woke up with tons of energy!! In the hour and a half between my husband leaving for work and the teenager leaving for school, I got 2 loads of clothes washed and one dried, cleaned up the kitchen from breakfast (and last night's snacks), made the bed, made my list for Walgreens, stuffed and sealed 5 trade envelopes, emailed my sister, ordered Toy Stoy sheets on line, purchased Restaurant.com certificates, and boxed up some books to sell at Half Price Books.
After the school bus left, I took a shower and headed to Half Price Books, Walmart and Walgreens. I got $11 for the books I took in. Then found 2 watches at Walmart (for the grandkids) for $15 total. I had a $10 GC, so those gifts were free!! Bought stocking stuffers and hair dye at Walgreens.
Now I'm finishing up the laundry while I make lists of the gifts I have, so I know what I still have to buy. It's raining!! I want to do more shopping...but I hate walking out in the rain!!
Well it has been a slow and gloomy Monday, the kids woke up and I got them breakfast, they have been watching cartoons. We will be going to the elementary school later for my 3 year old's speech therapy, I might get started on my christmas cards. Currently I am trying to get my 1 year old to take his mid-day nap
I cleaned some
put away some Christmas stuff
wrapped gifts
made some trades
laundry
typed in my Coke points for the week
met with a friend for a couponing chat
(another one addicted ;)
picked up my little guy from school
and now we are having lunch and watching Santa Claus is coming to Town (the old cartoon)
Basically sitting on my butt. I feel really lazy for doing it. Looking for toy deals shopping deals and catching up reading posts.. lol. I get up to change the laundry and I really need to work on getting the house in order before the crew checks back in for the day. On the bright side of things my 3 yr old has been doing really good at using the potty all day so I feel like even though I am home bound sitting on my butt we are accomplishing the potty training task. I think I am going to sign off for a while get this place straightened up figure out what I am making for dinner. Then maybe the 3 year old and I can put the tree up for the boys to decorate after school.
