It's that time of year again. I am actually not to stressed right now. I've already completed the inlaw Christmas. Which is infinitely easier with Little d being able to take Dramamine. Plus we don't HAVE to spend the night over there since we can actually travel during the day. And since it always falls on a school weekend, that makes me super happy.
I have gifts bought and I just need to take a few minutes to sort organize and wrap them. This weekend I caught up on laundry and am catching up on dishes.
The down side of this last week is that I have some type of cough/laryngitis thing going on. I pushed through last week and now I think it's catching up to me. I literally collapsed on the couch this afternoon attempting to shake off extreme fatigue. Here's how last week went...
Monday I attempted to fun all my errands and get all the supplies I would need for the week/parties. I think I was mostly successful.
Tuesday Little d had her little Christmas dance recital that was so adorable. I actually recorded it and posted it on YouTube, but I don't think I'll link to it here, just on FB. BTW it took about 8 hours to load the two minute video.
Oh I forgot most of my spare time Mon-Wed was taken up making deer/hog sausage with my dad. It turned out great, but the processing was W O R K. The grinder had issues! But now we have meat for a while. I digress...
Wednesday, Little m had her dance recital and was also so adorable. It too will be uploaded, maybe by tomorrow morning...
Thursday, pretty much all day I spent making these:
{for some reason blogger is only showing html so I don't know how to move that photo at the top to this spot right here. awesome sauce}
Which were adorable and time consuming. Plus my mom helped by pretty much getting the party craft project (a paper plate wreath) cut out and bagged for 36 students. Yes did I mention that the other first grade class didn't really have room moms, so my partner in crime and I did both classes' party.
Friday, we had the school party at one and then came home and got ready for the Girl Scout Caroling and Christmas party. Both were fun for the kiddos. And a relief I think for the adults that everything seemed to go off without too much of a hitch. (Excluding the drama that one mom caused over the three dollar cost.)
Saturday I cleaned all day long. I did four....that's FOUR....loads of dishes and who knows how much laundry. Being that busy all week means that chores fell WAAAY behind.
Meanwhile I have this cough going on. I am not running fever, but it is annoying. And pretty much lost my voice on wednesday and it's not returned. Little m was up most of the night with her own cold, and Little md spent a good deal of the night restless. That means guess who was dead ass tired today. I did manage to get two loads of dishes done, and another load of laundry. (Are you keeping count that that is 6 dishwasher loads of dirty dishes in 2 days. And guess who is still not finished??)
Oh my Little d is whining about me typing and not rubbing her back to sleep...off here!!!
