Today, I was so busy it was unreal. I spent the morning before chruch trying to get pictures uploaded, fixed and ready to order. I also started laundry and changed all the bed linens. Michael had to go to church before us for a meeting type thing.

After church we took the kids to Pasta House for lunch. I love that place. YUMMY!

When we came home Michael fell asleep. He's been so tired lately. So, I let the kids go outside to play in the snow again. They took their snowman apart, moved it and made it different. Alrighty, then.

I spent from 1:30 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. printing, stuffing and addressing Christmas Cards. My printer fought with me over the envelopes so I had to settle for hand writing the addresses this year. I did do return address labels through the printer, but I was too tired to fight a program to create labels for each individual addressee. Sorry everyone, it's handwritten envelopes this year.

I did slow down to throw a pizza in the oven for Michael and Kid Quizine in the microwave for the kids. I know I'm a horrible wife/mother. I should be able to make a decent meal with one hand and work on Christmas Cards with the other. I just haven't mastered that.

I also slowed down long enough to read to my children at bedtime. Do I get points for that? Michaela did help me by putting the retrun address labels on the envelopes for me. She also taped the envelopes shut since the glue on them seemed to not be working.

I also had to type out a letter to my aunt on my dad's side. It's a tradition that I write her a long letter about what's going on with us every year. It's an actual letter. I have never been able to do those newsletter things. I just can never think what to write on them. My aunt always includes a letter specifically to me, too. It's one of my favorite things about Christmas... getting her letter.

I'm tired. Time to get to bed. I will be so happy when it's Friday this week. Then time can just slow WAY DOWN until January 2, 2008.
