I have been trying to get to my blog all weekend and this is the best I can do for now.
We went all day long on Saturday with the kids. Chris and I were both off - that never happens...
We went to Gatti's and to see Alvin and the Chipmunks.
We also finished up our Christmas shopping. So far, I have been able to keep my personal goal of not overspending. I was worried that I would begin to feel like a cheapo schmuck, but to the contrary, it's been liberating!!
I don't feel like I'm jeopardizing my kids' college education.
My credit card has seen the light a few times though. TSK!TSK!
Other than that, I am about to embark on a legendary week. If there is light at the end of the tunnel, I cannot see it.
Overwhelmed does not begin to describe...
Two separate Christmas programs - for which I am solely responsible...
You're thinking - hmmm... well, that's something to stress about, but not heart-attack worthy.
Now I'll remind you that I have 3, 4, and 5-year olds singing 45 minutes worth of music - add in instruments, choreography, a live manger scene, a foreign language (Spanish), and sign language.
Now there's your heart-attack.
We are doing our family Christmas this week on Wednesday and Thursday.
My dad will be having his knee replaced on Friday and we wanted to be able to get the holiday festivities out of the way beforehand.
Friday, we will be released from school!! YAY!
I would love to try to get a playdate together sometime during our Winter Break.
Get back to me on when is best for you, if you are interested.
We will be returning to school on January 7, 2008.
2008? Yeah.
Weird huh?

That most definitely does NOT sound like a fun week. Sorry I'm not there to watch your kids for a while so you can get something done.
I'm just a little jealous that you guys already saw Alvin and the Chipmunks. Did you cry??? Was it good? Did the kids like it?
In answer to your answer - Woohoo for you! =) Wish I could say the same, but it's my fault I can't.
The brother-in-law is actually starting the move tomorrow. I think I'll believe it when I see it though.
Love you......
Live Manger. This is a Preschool Christmas Play right? Maybe we should get a ticket and grab a seat.
2 Christmas programs, eh? Well, I'm sure that's enough to give me a heart attack, but notice, I didn't volunteer to do 2 Christmas programs. Good luck with that. I'm totally game for a winter break playdate. I think the only days I'll be busy is xmas. C could come, too if we wanted to do it over the weekend.
your energy always amazes me. Two christmas programs, wow. I don't think i could do one, let alone two?????
I know that Tim wants to do and time when we all get together and have fun at our house the time is still up in the air but I will post the information as soon as it is finalized. But believe me I will be at any play date I can do to the withdraw I am going through of not seeing any of my friends in FOREVER!!!
