We spent the afternoon baking and decorating a couple dozen Christmas cookies.

I am doing the unthinkable this morning and going out for a few last minute gifts and stocking stuffers.

Wish me luck.

But not just any T.G.I.F.! When I leave the office today I will be on vacation for the next 11 days.

Such a good feeling.

Today would make a good personal day, and if you can reschedule some of your least-enjoyable tasks for another day, you should do so!

Are f’ing kidding me ?!?

You can tell the person who writes these is NOT a wife and mother.

We have what four more days utill Christmas.

I must have broke the record for how many times a person has hit the snooze button this morning. It’s a good thing I set my clock and alarm so far ahead or I would still be home in bed.
Thank goodness I only have to do it two more times then I get a ten day break.

Happy Humpday.

My husband and I are going out to dinner tonight and to pick up the few things I am missing on my gift list. I am not missing much, two stores out to do it.
I am really looking forward to it. We haven’t been out any where just the two of us in a while. Even if it is just shopping, it’s still time alone and time out of the house. 

Well the holidays are really here.
We had our first holiday get together of the season yesterday afternoon here at our house.
I think it went well. I know I had a nice time.

Getting together with family is what I love most about the season.

It’s 7:30am and I am sneaking in a little computer time with my caffeine before I start my very busy day today.
It’s not like me to not find the time to blog or even return emails. I am sorry some of you have been a bit worried, there is no reason to be.
My life has just been crazy with work, the holidays, basement construction and a pregnant teenage daughter.
But on the brighter side, only one more work week left and I am on vacation for 10 days. I am so looking forward to the time off this year. So far my only real plan is for lots of R & R.

Someone in my house is in sooooo much trouble!

Any guesses who ate some of our kitchen tile for lunch today?
You’re stumped right? I’ll give a couple of hints,
she has four legs and is covered in fur.

And she is pretty darn lucky that I love her so much!
My super smeller powerful chewer.

I caught most of the movie Eight Below on cable over the weekend.
I didn’t expect to really like it, I only watched it because there wasn’t anything else on at the time. Crazy I know, we only have 300 channels.
Anyway, I loved it. A very sweet film you can watch with your kids around.
Now I’ll have to try and catch it again from the beginning.

Allison has her best friend over for a sleep over.
So far there has been pizza for dinner, a game of Bingo, music, dancing and singing and now they are in the living room with the lights off watching Goosebumps.

Fun times.
Now, I just pray they will sleep after watching these creepy movies. Momma is wiped out.
