To do, to do, to do!

  1. Decorate tree - Asia set it up for me last night
  2. Help kids decorate their tree when they get home from school
  3. Go to S's class to help with the holiday party and gingerbread house decorating fun
  4. Touch up paint in kitchen
  5. Vaccuum
  6. Dust
  7. Clean downstairs
  8. Wrap presents for extended family gathering this weekend
  9. Make cut-out sugar cookies to decorate with family this weekend
  10. Make peanut butter bars for big ugly brother who is visiting this weekend
  11. Create a mini album for my design team gig - this is one I really wish I could get out of
  12. Pick up Gracie at the vet when they call. She vomited numerous times this morning - pieces of sponge. Purple sponge. The vet did x-rays and is keeping her for observation today. Can you say $$$?
  13. Do Costco shopping so I can feed my family
  14. Plan a menu for this weekend
  15. Keep a happy heart and a serene spirit through it all

The kitchen is really and truly almost done. The refrigerator has gone missing - they are looking for it and said they hope they can deliver it Friday morning. Ugh! I'm waiting until it's in place and then I'll post the pictures.

We got everything moved into the cupboards yesterday. My three girlfriends were invaulable to me as we sorted and organized and found some really old stuff in the back of my downstairs pantry! You know your friends are true when they see that you have 6 boxes of Captain Crunch stored away and not one of them says anything about tooth decay or healthy alternatives for breakfast. I honestly don't know where they all came from. (The cereal, not the friends.)

The good news is: I brought everything up from my basement storage area and into the kitchen, and there's still room for more! I have five empty drawers and lots of upper cabinet space that's still empty. I LOVE that.

Okay - I'm off to decorate.

Happy happy day.

    WooHoo... pictures of the tree please (grin). I leave on Wednesday and I won't have internet access that first week. I want to see your tree before I head out to your part of the country (so close, but yet so far, doggone it).

    Giggling over the Captain Crunch. For us, it would be Cinnamon Toast Crunch... must be something about the word crunch that sells cereal!

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
