It's actually already Christmas Eve. I'm still awake from the 23rd. It's been another long, busy day. I did laundry most of the morning. Michaela had to go to the doctor late this morning. It's nothing serious, but the doctor has put her on meds for a spastic bladder.
After we ate lunch I cut out the cut out cookies and the kids decorated them. I also made some instant pudding cookies. They turned out pretty good. I think next time I'm going to add a little bit of sugar to the chocolate ones, though. They are not as sweet as I'd like them, but they are still good.
I finally took the last sheet of cookies out of the oven around 3:30 p.m. The kids went to deliver cookies to our four neighbors that live closest to us. I had to sweep and mop the kitchen floor along with cleaning up the baking mess because we had sprinkles all over the floor. Those may be small but they hurt when you step on them. Since I'd done some cleaning as I went I was finished cleaning by 4:00 pm.
I took a break at that point. I laid down on the bed and watched Gilmore Girls. It's on in re-runs on Family Channel at 4:00 here and I love that show.
I made pancakes for supper, but I was not hungry so I didn't eat. Once supper was over and dishes cleaned up AGAIN, I left to go get a few last minute things. Of course it was crazy out. There were people everywhere and all of them seemed in a panicked daze. It had gotten over 32 degrees so we had cold rain falling. With as much rain that fell, if it had stayed cold we'd have at least a couple inches of snow.
The rest of the evening I spent wrapping presents. I didn't think I'd ever finish that. But, everything that is going to get wrapped is wrapped. I did not want to have to do any of that in the morning.
I will still have a few things to do tomorrow, but I'm not going to rush myself around at all. I'm hoping the kids will let me sleep in a little.
