I'm currently being very successful at procrastinating my jog!
Dh and I were very successful in getting lots of sleep last night. We were tired after the long week. I think we slept for 10.5 hours. Dh has been working until the wee hours of the a.m. I've had a few days of just going straight from one thing to another with little down time, until 9 or so at night.
I have a little more wiggle room this next week, thank goodness. I don't have 3 all morning moms group meetings and 2 evening engagements as I did last week. Although, I do have 2 evening engagements this week -- 2 dinner parties, T and Th. night and W. night is cooking with ds. As long as dh is home, he actually does most of the cooking with ds so it can end up being a treat. And small group will be next Saturday night. So maybe 3 evening engagements? I do hope to get more done on Cmas shopping this coming week, though I feel pretty clueless what anyone wants. I've gotten ddad and our friends E and C in TX done. Dbro. and the kids are in process. That leaves dmom, dh, S, R, and toddler J, and my niece with nothing so far -- and dbro. and 3 kids to finish.
No point in getting a tree or decorating until we can move back into the main floor of our house, which will be in another week or week and a half. We don't do much decorating anyway.
Dd18 has been texting a lot. She technically can't stay in the dorm Tuesday night (Dec. 20) so she's looking into options. She may just change her ticket and come home a day earlier. An exam originally scheduled that Tuesday has been changed.
Successes I hope to achieve today:
- jog -- I'm hoping to go 4 miles again
- getting our stuff down here organized. We were so busy last week we pretty much just plunked everything down here without organizing it well when we moved it down Th. morning. I did organize the bathroom. Thankfully, our basement is a walk out with spacious light rooms; the rooms on the very back of the house, including the play room, are just normal rooms with nice big windows since our house is on a hill. There's an outside door in the play room.
- menu plan and groc. store, if I can. At least a run to the groc. store.
Success to you all!
