Good Morning Buddies!

Just want to wish you all a great day today! Hope you are all ready for christmas! Just a couple of loose ends left to tie up here, then I'm done. Ahhh There is light at the end of the tunnel!

Thank God for that light.  Im at work this morning and then off and running.  You have a great Saturday as well.

DH are "digging out" the mess of this house today and tomorrow.  We have been gone a lot and things just don't put themselves away, so guess we better do it ourselves.  Between wrapping paper, extra food that won't fit in the cabinets, Christmas decorations, etc., the house looks awful.  I can't stand it anymore!  DH is going to work on the kitchen,  He cleaned out a couple of drawers Thursday and left all kinds of crap sitting on the counter, so he gets kitchen duty.  LOL

I'll start on the bedrooms to make room for company.  All the extra Christmas stuff has been stashed away in there, so I've got to do something with it. 

Then we'll bake cookies together.  We have a Christmas party to attend tonight at the home of some good friends.  Then tomorrow, back in the kitchen for more pre-holiday cooking. 

We will both wor****il noon on Monday, then head to Kansas City for the WLS seminar Monday night.  It won't get over until around 9 PM, so we decided not to drive back home (2 hours).  So got a hotel room and will head back home Tues. morning. 

So much to do and so little time....

Things must be invented that put themselves away...this housecleaning business is for the birds!  

I too am digging out the mess and getting ready for the holidays...except I'm also trying to get rid of a lice problem brought in by my 8 year old's little girlfriend!  Oh...and get my shopping, wrapping, work projects, and packing done before my surgery on Wednesday morning.

So basically....

The cleaning and digging out seems to be a theme for today.  Exactly, what I am doing but am taking a short break to eat!  So hard to believe that stuff just does not magically go back to where it belongs

LOL.. I have a corner in my living room that is filled with wrapping papers, bows, robbon, decoration boxes, etc. Have to get that stuff taken care of! AND today is the day for me as well. I will have both of my grandchildren for the afternoon , night and until 9:30 am tomorrow. The 14 month old will just have too much fun in all the stuff in that corner! Still have to make use of a lot of that too! Have to get my wrapping done. That will NOT be today but probably tomorrow.

Lucy.. lookin good! Love the photo!
Wanda..what wls seminar is it that you are going to there? Just curious...lol. always too curious I think.
Chris.. my heart is with you on getting the extra overnighters out of yur house! I had the same thing happen once when a friend of mines daughter spent the night years ago. She hadn't realized her daughter had picked them up at school. Hows the process going for you by the way for WLS?
Sea Queen..I have the hardest time figuring out the same thing! Not only why don't they put themselves away, but how the heck did it ALL get out??? lol

 It's going great. Had my pre-op appointment last Thursday where I was warned by my Doc that I had better briskly walk twice per day and only liquids until the surgery on Wednesday morning.  I use to be allowed one small cup of veggies or salad per day -- no longer 

Well, only about half my house is under control right now.  We'll see how things go tomorrow.  This is certainly a busy time!

What an awesome Christmas gift you are giving yourself! Congrats! You can get through these last few days.. just stay focused on the long term outcome and how great you are going to feel!

I see that cleaning was in order for many of you today.  I have the cleaning planned for Sunday.  Enjoyed hiding from work and visiting family today.  Sleep tight everyone.  Hugs, Kathy
