The 21st Day of December
1. These little wrist, piece at a time pull out tape dispensers have been a hit with The Hub. I put one in his stocking several years ago. Problem is, he can’t seem to wrap gifts without one now. It makes one handed gift-holding, taping, speedy wrapping nice.
2. Used books for the kids stockings, scholastic pics, like new, for $.50 a piece. Go Mom!
3. Homemade pizza. Wow. Just nothing like it. I love my bread machine(s, s, s) I’ll need (knead, HA!) two at a time for company. We may do this for Christmas Eve at Grandmas just for something fun since she is still under the weather. They may give her a pass to come out of the hospital for Christmas Eve. We tried Kroger brand “Pizza Parlor” flavor tonight…my favorite yet, and cheap!
4. Wonder Dog move tonight. I didn’t see it, but this is Red’s “WonderDog” sign afterward. I loved that cartoon as a kid.
5. Me. Whew. Only a handful of gifts left to wrap. Now, the kitchen and MUCH laundry (Today, I needed to go spend time with fam today, a great break, but I’m going to be up until midnight again I’m afraid, just hitting the basics of life. Ugh. I think I’ll fit the Hallmark moments somewhere close to 1-11-08. Someone better inform the family of this little differential between the movies and real life of a Christmas Mom. Whew.)
Whew.
At least I’m not sick. At least we have things to wrap. At least we have a warm house, and comfie flannel pajamas, and fire. At least we have food and clothing. At least we are together. At least, we are blessed. But, whew! These “little things” to do take ALL DAY!
I’m so thankful for all my mom did for us right about now!!! What a WOMAN!
