So, just a little update on our holiday. Today is the first day we could actually relax and it's been nice. Actually, I can't believe it's not even 4 yet as it feels like 6 or 7. Our house still looks pretty messy as we're trying to put away the gifts from our Christmas, then stuff from my Nanny and Poppas, then stuff from my parents and then stuff from yesterday. AHH, way too many gifts.

 

I did a big clean out of the fridge and wiped it down so it looks beautiful! Uh, we won't look at the freezer side of it as it's not quite so clean or organized.

 

I'm quite happy with what we've got done today. of course, there's still a whole bunch more to do before tomorrow.

 

How did your Christmas go? When do your boys go back to school?

 

I'm trying to not think about having Gavin and Laura back tomorrow. augh It will likely be a relaxing day with not much planned. I may get them to help make muffins for afternoon snack (though I think just Laura will want to do that.) We'll probably just have chicken nuggets and homemade fries (unless I have frozen fries, then it'll be a bit of both) for lunch. I'm dreading how they'll be with the kitten. I can see lots of fights over who gets to hold her and since I'm trying to let her be free during the day when we're home, I can picture Laura following her all over the place. We have an issue with our girls picking her up every 3 seconds so to have to add another kid to the "leave the cat on the floor" group, I'll go crazy!

 

Thankfully, I'm easing into the daycare thing again... I'll have them for 2 whole days (7:30-4:30... ahhh) and then 7:30-12 on Wed. I won't have them Thurs and I'm not sure about Friday. Their mom mentioned something about not being required to work that day but it wasn't official. her work seems to be uptight though so I can't imagine she'll get the day off so while I'd love to not have them, I'll plan for them to be here. Andrew has that day off so I could take off the day but the money is a good thing.

 

Yikes, blabbed on here too much. I gotta get moving here. Andrew has a bud (the counter buddy) coming at 7 to return some xbox stuff and to get the counter sample so he can order that. So, that's my motivation to get the main floor cleaned up sooner than later. I need it totally picked up before I go to bed cause I don't want Laura and Gavin rifiling through the new gifts and stuff (cause that's what they did last year when we piled the new toys on the basement couch.) A lot of the stuff in the living room is stocking stuff so make-up, lip stuff, candy, small things, etc.

 

Not sure I'll be on here too much in the next few days. If we have people over for New Year's Eve (very unlikely), than I may need to do some lists but that's a very minimal chance of that happening!
