Friday Night Leftovers
- It's a bit early (she's not due until the beginning of March), but we were really nervous to do it in January/February due to Boston's infamous winters.
- There has been a lot of preparation.
- And a little bit of stress.
- I can handle stress though.
- I feel bad for leaving Husband with the Crazies again...they'll be busy though. They have a breakfast with Santa tomorrow as well as Tae Kwon Do. That should wear them out nicely.
- I'm 75% packed...that's a miracle.
- Today is busy...grocery shopping, an hour at Hopper's (new bouncy house place), lunch, naps (I've been putting them down earlier...good suggestion, my friend), finish packing, wait for Husband to arrive, kiss him good-bye, head to the airport, have a glass of wine, fly to Boston.
- This whole week has been busy.
- Siri is definitely keeping me on track.
- I haven't taken a lot of picture of our Christmas decorations yet, but they're really shaping up. It's amazing what a few years of doing the same thing will do. It just seemed easier this year. It probably helped that we started the outside a few weeks before Thanksgiving.
- No, we didn't light up, but still...the hard part was done.
- I'm collecting for the preschool teachers' Christmas gift...we're trying to give one big gift to each teacher as opposed to a bazillion smaller gifts. It's actually a great idea and, as a former teacher, I think the teacher will appreciate it more. I always hated to get $5 to B.arnes & Nob.le b/c you still have to put out some of your own money. Imagine if you're an elementary school teacher and you get 25 different gift cards to 25 different places...it just doesn't make sense.
- I also threw away anything homemade...I've seen kids cook...it's not pretty.
- I have an underlying sickness left over from the Crazies. I'm pretty sure that after traveling this weekend with the general public (gag), I'll have a full blown sickness. All of my symptoms are hiding out until I get through this shower...after which they'll attack me with a vengeance.
- The "Christmas Closet" downstairs looks like so much fun. We're pretty much done shopping for the Crazies. I'll take a picture of it soon...it's amazing.
- Until I realize I have to wrap all that shit.
- Somehow, as we were rotating our mattress last night, I pissed Husband off to the point of him telling me to leave so he could do it himself. Nice to know I don't have to help in the future...that's a freaking hard job!
- I still give him MAJOR props for this weekend...he's a rockstar!

He is a rockstar. John was complaining the other day because he was with the kids for the day while I was at work because he was "running around all day."
Sigh. Have a great time at the shower! :)
people only do $5?? we did $20 gift cards for each teacher!
now i think that's a crap gift anyway. maybe i should organize something for the group in their class??
I throw away all of DH's homemade gifts. Can't trust middle schoolers with all those budding hormones!
Have a great shower!!
I'm so happy I have so little wrapping. Can't wrap a play kitchen! All the accessories-in the kitchen. One bow, I'm done. Odds and end gifts-bag! Presto! One day they will be old enough to care and that will be the end of me!
I need Siri in my life.
I'm glad the earlier naps are working out.
Flipping mattresses is hard work, I too leave it to the husband. I'm too short and it involves the mattress falling on me.
Have a fabulous and rub the belly.
What or who is Siri?
How often do you rotate your mattress? I am quite sure we haven't done since the babies have been born LOL
I love how you fly back and forth to go see your family - how long is the flight?
HAVE FUN!!! hopefully you don't get sicker and great on organising a decent gift (i'd much rather have one big gift than a lot of littler ones)
Thats Awesome that you're organizing a gift for the kids' teacher. Nice idea! I rarely ever get any gifts or even cards. Not sure if its an economic thing or if I actually suck, but I could count on 1 hand how many gifts I've received as a teacher in my 12 years.
I'm trying to figure out what to do this year. I usually have the kids make an ornament and give a gift card...but the kids have so many teachers this year. J&S have their Kdg teacher and aide, then have like 2 or 3 daycare teachers. Then Adam has 3 teachers at daycare and is in the process of moving up to the next room...agh!! too many to figure out!
Hope you have an awesome weekend with sister and the shower goes great. can't wait to see pics and hear about it!!!
We are doing our Christmas shopping tomorrow night!
