My niece was born on the 14th! I'm so glad she finally made her appearance, as we were all anxious to meet her. It's nice to have another member to the family. It seemed like we were shrinking as a family, and not growing. I'm excited to watch my brother and his girlfriend grow as parents. I'm excited for the joy little Marlee will bring them. I'm just all over happy and excited for them!
Marlee also has her middle name after my grandma who passed away a few years ago. It's so touching. I'm so proud (if you haven't figured that out yet).
Christmas is fast approaching and I still have quite a bit of Christmas shopping to do. If the kids were in school, I'd do my shopping and wrapping while they are away. But they aren't, so this Friday and next Friday I will probably do most of my shopping and wrapping. Yes, Procrastinating much, I am. At least the house is done being decorated, and the Awana party is done. That's two major things no longer on my plate!
I look on the calendar and we don't have things planned, but we have so much to do! Two more days of schooling, a visit to Marlee, dropping off socks at a friends house, maybe picking up the van from the shop, taping a friend's Christmas Choir performance at their Church, Genius's 10th birthday, cookie decorating with a large group of friends, then a few days to relax before Christmas! Hopefully the van is fixed and we can pick it up so we can drive and go see some Christmas lights.
So today is schoolwork, laundry, and cleaning up the huge mess I made yesterday in making gingersnaps and peppermint bark. Princess threw up all over her blankets and didn't say anything until last night when we went to tuck her in, so that's top on the list- cleaning blankets and Lysol her room (again). I know it's been awhile since Doorbuster got sick, but I am paranoid now that it's flu season. I carry a full size bottle of hand sanitizer in my diaper bag, sticking out for easy access.
And I'm stuck at 84 on Warcraft, just a few bars from 85. Thanks, Blizzard, for putting a new expansion out right before the holidays when I have tons and tons of stuff to do. I could of waited until January. I still would of faithfully paid my subscription and finished the rep I was working on...but no. My hopes of being one of the first raid-worthy people went down the tubes. Oh well. I guess I'm just getting more bang for my buck by stretching out my questing!
Now off to get my kitchen robots humming away, and the dryer tumbling. It's actually rainy and cold, so out went the leaf raking I was planning on having the kids do. I suppose we will settle on their favorite game, whine and bother. Maybe I can get them to color some when their work is done.
