man, strep throat! A thank you note sounds like a good thing for the dr :) Now, if you're like me, you won't get around to writing one and sending it for another year and by then, he may have forgotten. lol

 

Does your MIL want that as a Christmas gift or just wants you to do that for her? I think that's such an awesome idea but yeah, does she realize that it could be pricey and time consuming for you!? Ack! Though, maybe if I had to do that for someone, I'd be more inclined to make better meals for my family rather than the leftover junk we had last night (and it wasnt' even good leftovers and it was pretty much a fend for yourself thing cause I was feeling blah.)

 

Yeah, that's pretty much how I'm feeling now about my family stuff. I talked to my mom yesterday on Facebook. So, we're all going to the family Christmas party in 2 weeks. It's usually chaotic and busy so Andrew will blend in. lol Not sure what we'll do for Christmas Day cause there's less people so it would mean people might have to talk to Andrew. ack! But, my Nanny, who is the one who can hold grudges big time, actually bought presents for us, including Andrew! So, that's a good sign. We'll likely end up going Christmas Day but we'll see how things go at the party first.

 

Ok, gotta deal with stuff here. I did a tiny bit of tidying and got the dishes done, finally. Looks like the 21st is a go, just waiting to hear from his sis. I'm having a bit of a panic attack about money but at the same time, i want my counters done. It's a bit of a back and forth thing for me. They don't NEED to be done but yet, they do. With all the mold under the counters (you can smell it when you open the cupboard door), that makes it more a need but it's just the 2 cupboards and I technically dont' need to use them but I am cause I dont' have enough space in my kitchen. sigh I guess i need to decide ASAP and sadly, i want it done before the dinner as well as more 'superficial' things so that my house can look nice and not junky.

 

I feel a major to do list brewing...
