Today we are getting together with my side of the family to celebrate Christmas. We are so spread out that we only see each other once a year (always at Christmas time). I'm so excited! This will be the first time in 3 yrs that my son (and my new DIL) will be with us. We don't leave for another 4 hours, but I wanna go now!! LOL!

~Good title for today. Everyone, I'm sure is busy busy! DH is busy tackling his long Honey-Do list which includes gluing broken dishes, cleaning up yard trash, hanging curtain brackets, and hauling furniture and totes of clothes out to the storage shed. My list for the day includes sewing the last set of Sesame Street sheets for my niece, wrapping presents, vacuuming bedrooms, sweeping and mopping kitchen, and hanging curtains. I'd also like to bake cookies, but that's lowest priority. We're spending Christmas Eve with my in-laws and the house is LOADED with goodies! I don't have to bring or do a thing!~

It's a great day here in PrairieRose land. Ds and ddil are here, dd#2 is here and dd#1 will be here later in the day. We have several days of togetherness and we're thrilled. I've got a few things to do today other than just enjoy them.

~workout (omg what I ate at 11 last night....

)
~shower/hair/makeup
~straighten up
~unload dishwasher/reload
~2 loads of laundry

That's about all I have to do.... . Hope everyone has a great day! I know I will.

I've been up since 3am when I had an asthma attack. No fun going to my sons girlfriends house to do Christmas. cause the grandboy will be with their mom. Then to do Christmas at son#3 house for the same reason. Then home. Waiting for my sister to give me the # to the hospital where my brothers at. so we can all take turns calling. I have 4 sisters and 2 brothers. 5 of them are in North Dakota and Montana and my older sister and I are out here in Ca.

Get last load of laundry done.
Start getting some prep work done for my Christmas Eve and Christmas dinners.
Make centerpiece for Christmas table. (I picked up a half-dozen red roses for $3 at Aldis. I'm going to add some fresh greenery from the yard such as pine, holly and spruce.)
