SHEs Organized

What 3 things will make a difference in YOUR day, YOUR week,YOUR month?

My #1 when we get back (late) today will be to get a good start on Christmas cards. Sadly I've not done one as yet. Seems life has gotten in the way! I'll think of 2 more as the morning progresses.

Have to take gd14 to school, then dh over to dbil's, then I got to church. Our women's group is touring Lighthouse Ministries today and then going to lunch, back to pick up dh and then gd and then home! Another 60-mile day, I'm sure!

Things were somewhat better around here last night -at least until a little after 8. GD then did a complete turn around and the attitude plus was back. DD herded her out of the living room before much damage (emotionally/mentally) could be done. This morning dsonil went to work with a friend. Said he was going to 'try' it. It's the first time since June 4th! In OHO he definitely needs to be out and doing SOMETHING.

Trucks are here to start working on the road. Time to vamoose!

Good Morning!

What 3 things? Hum.....
#1 - Discipline
#2 - Gulttony
#3 - Redeeming time

An easier list
#1 - christmas cards
#2 - Gather gifts and make list of what is needed
#3 - Wrap gifts

I like Ellyphant holiday meal plan. I think I will copy it. with minor adjustment to replace the ham with brisket THANKS ELLYPHANT!

get a good start on Christmas cards. Sadly I've not done one as yet.

Dee, I will definitely join you on that one.
So...
Three things --
1. Christmas cards
2. Grade papers
3. -- I'll keep thinking... I haven't wrapped anything, either, so that would be a good one for me, too, OKay!

1. Christmas cards (1/3 done from me, 100% done from dh)
2. Make snack mix
3. Writing church service components and prayers (for the 16th and 30th)

In each case, a start has been made although with the snack mix it is only that I have the ingredients on hand.

Unfortunately, I won't likely get to any of these today since I have three things to do just to get through today:

1. drive into city and pick up Christmas video resources for meeting tonight (90 minutes.)
2. Senior's luncheon (eat and sing - 3+ hours.)
3. Presbytery meeting (50 miles away, in another 'country' - Quebec, different language on signs, different rules of the road) with a driving time of 3 hours and 4 hours for the meeting.

So just getting through today without melting down will be an accomplishment that shows I'm getting stronger and will be able to face Christmas with a bit more confidence about my capabilities.

Dee - Your better than me... I always want to send Christmas cards and never do it... (((Hugs))) to you and the DFamily.

Okay & Lucylee - Good Morning!

(((Kathryn))) - I have confidence in you, sending you strength for your day.

DS13 and I are up and ready to go. I called our Dentist yesterday and told them about loosing my job. DS13 had an appointment for a check-up and cleaning on the 28th but I believe my insurance will expire by then, thankfully they had a cancellation this morning so DS13 has an appointment at 8:30. I also need to try to get a hold of gentleman at the agency that called me Friday, I called yesterday and left a message. Need to send out more resumes and a few emails.

I've decided not to go into the city this morning. I was going to pick up Christmas videos from the library so people could borrow them from me at the meeting tonight. It is a make work project for myself which also means I have to go back in tomorrow to put them back in the library. At this time of year, I don't need make work projects and tomorrow is currently a free day so I don't want to mess with that.

Ok, with extra time, I'll go find some chores to do like watering plants and refilling vitamin dispensers.

Mystery - Here ya go.....C&P Elly's menu from Monday PWYC....

Need to plan some special meals. One will be lasagna. That was our standard Christmas Eve meal way back when kids were growing up. Then we switched to Chinese food somewhere along the way! Will have ham on Christmas day with DD here. So we will have leftover ham. Also can't go wrong with chili...just need to decide what to have when...

The 4 generations shopping adventure has been cancelled today. Two of the generations are waiting on a check that didn't arrive on Monday, so their shopping in on hold. I'm greatly relieved to not have to shop today......but acknowledge that I am just postponing the necessary task.

LO to school. I'm debating on calling his doctor. He has told me his throat hurts the past 48 hours. I looked at it this morning and it is bright red. He is still on antibodies from his surgery....so surely he can't get an infection....so WHERE DID THE RED come from? Surely...surely....surely he doesn't have strep throat AGAIN. If I ignore it....will it go away since he is already taking antibodies?

yeah helia for the registration
