Let’s see…what mundane day to day crap can I bore you with….lol. This week FLEW by. I was still recovering from that awful stomach bug the beginning part of the week. Dealing with a sick kiddo (the same one who projectile vomited while we were out to eat….if we ever go back to that restaurant we’ll consider going in disguise as I’m pretty sure we’ve been blacklisted after THAT…) and then trying to get xmas shopping/details wrapped up.
The good news though is I am DONE- 100% FINI- on Christmas shopping AND most wrapping. Go me!!! Hehe….
Much to my annoyance the kiddos still have two more days of school to finish out. Which is retarded if you ask me, but no one did so….
For as long as I can remember, even pre-kiddos, I have baked for Christmas. My kiddos look forward to it. We normally spend two plus weekends before Christmas every year and dedicate them to baking numerous types of cookies, fudges, and other treats. It’s my *thing*, it’s what I DO. Well being sick since the end of November with the-cold-that-never-goes-away and then that god awful stomach bug really, REALLY, puts a damper on my desire for such things. *SIGH* I was ready to scrap ALL holiday baking but I changed my mind after all of 5seconds when I saw the fallen, disappointed faces of my children when I shared this with them. Mommy guilt is the WORST. So we began baking last night and will continue to do so through the weekend. I’m going to try to downsize my baking, but OCD ‘me’ doesn’t do that very well. I’m an ‘all or nothing’ kind of obsessive freak a gal.
The good news though is I am DONE- 100% FINI- on Christmas shopping AND most wrapping. Go me!!! Hehe….
If you need me you can find me in the kitchen!

Have a kick ass Friday!

I’ve seen pictures of you in the kitchen. That works! ;-)
Can you make me some sugar-free cookies?

Hi,
I like your post it’s very interesting to read. I also found out that you blog is related to some of my site. Are you interested to post my link to your site as a blog roll? If you do, I will also link back to you as well.
Thanks

Happy Friday to you. Our kids go to school until the 23rd – seriously. The thing that I like about it is that they don’t anticipate (read bug me )about Christmas which wouldn’t be bad, but when there are four of them they just end up fighting.
As far as the pics go, there were so many wonderful ones again this week (as always) but I agree with Sadie’s pic. The way she laid out her shot was second to none, of course Frenchie’s smile will win anyone over – including my hubby who was quite smitten with it.
I giggled that you have your shopping “all wrapped up” :)
Have a good weekend

Me?? Mad at you?? Never! Remember, my issues with favorites were … well … my issues! I am always flattered and humbled to find myself on your list!
I’ll be baking right along with you this weekend although I think I’ll be limiting myself to sugar cookies only. We’ll see …

I don’t know how people with kids manage ANY Christmas cheer at all, frankly, with all the stuff they have to do around the holiday season. I have plenty of respect for you all, you can be sure of that.

Wow! I’m really flattered…especially after throwing together my HNT in the midst of a migraine and after a very long day of work (but we don’t really admit to that do we?)! I am surrounded by some amazing company…this is my kind of holiday party! ;)
