Woman On A Mission!

I have been thinking about Christmas shopping and I have also known I didn't have any done. I also knew that I was going to run out of time!
Last week Brian and I tried to shop. It is a blur now but I don't think much happened. I think we got started too late. Thursday night he said don't worry about it I will help you next Thursday! Ha, I appreciate the centiments, if that is the correct word, but I told him by Thursday I would be done and have everything wrapped.
Guess what! I do! Except a couple of things I have to pick up in town that weren't going to be ready until today!
Needless to say it has been a busy week. But a good and productive one!

Monday-JB had ball practice. He is so cute. He is loving basketball. Except I am not sure white children can play basketball! The girls went to the basketball game at school and I picked them up at 9:00. They had a good time so I didn't mind. Plus I knew they didn't really want to hang out at the gym during 5 year old practice. I shopped all day and had McCallister deli for lunch. Yummy!
Tuesday-G had ball practice. I shopped all day again this day!
Wednesday-G had a practice game. She was nervous about it. Those other girls are so much bigger than she is but she will get right in there and grab a ball from big hoochie mama! This year she is eye level with most of the girls elbows so she has to be more careful. I shopped all morning and then helped out at the car lot.
Thursday-Brians day off. He didn't go hunting. We went shopping early we were doing good, planning to eat lunch together. Cydney called at 10:05 and said the power was out at school and I needed to come and pick them up! There went our lunch date!

Now that I think about it I wished I could get a burst of energy to clean my house like I got to do my Christmas shopping!

I am still going to curves three times a week. My dear husband suggested that I go for an hour instead of 30 minutes a day. I think he lost his mind. The curves program says 30 minutes a day three times a week. I hate going. It is not fun. I don't want to talk I just go and do my thing and leave and then he wants me to go for an hour. No way. He wasn't being rude but I am not going any longer than I have already committed to!

My grandmother is doing really good. She has sounded better on the phone this week than she has in months.

Melissa isn't having such a good week. She had a secret santa all week and the person kept doing things that were supposed to be funny and they hurt her feelings. She hates onions and her person sent her a pizza with extra onions. She gave her a diet coke one day. That kind of thing. Finally last night at the Christmas party her friend confessed and said she was sorry.

We don't have anything to do tonight, yet! The children and I are going to the nutcracker in Macon tomorrow. Cydney isn't thrilled but she agreed to go with me!

My house looks like Katrina hit it but at this point I am just letting it go!

It has rained so much the last two days I can only think about Noah and he must have gone nearly stir crazy on that Ark in the rain for 40 days. Cydney said "mom he was dry and I have to get my hair wet getting to class". I meant just the point of the rain continuing to fall! God is Good!

Our elf on the shelf is still busy. He has checked on all the children and watched them play video games and one morning he was even in the Christmas tree! One morning he was there when G woke up, everyone else was still asleep, I was in the shower and when she woke back up he had moved. He is a sneaky little thing.

Did I tell you my new favorite show is CSI. Well it just so happens that yesterday it was on all day long. I think I watched three or four shows in a row. I didn't really sit in front of the tv but it was fun to be interested in something for a change. The bad thing is it is too bad it can't really be that simple to solve a crime!

I am not having as much fun blogging as I was when I started. I am feeling like Crystal, no one ever comments anymore!

I have to go work on my "list of things to do today"!

May the force be with you.....
