Ugh- is it REALLY tomorrow? Ok, I suppose it is.

 

Here's my list of things I MUST get done tomorrow. Heaven help me, cause I'm gonna need it.

 

1. Bake 1 batch of chocolate chip cookies
2. Let the kids decorate all remaining sugar cookies
3. Prep the ham, and put it in the crock pot at noon
4. Dunk all kids in bath, scrub hair- or, maybe just let em use the dishwasher. Hm.. Ok, maybe that works better for chipmunks.
5. Sort out and get all presents for the in-laws set aside
6. Take kids to Nick's holiday luncheon
7. Sort all Santa gifts, and set aside (mostly done, but not completely)
8. Do 2 or 3 loads of laundry
9. Buy white rice
10. Finish filling and sewing heating pads with rice
11. Start dinner around 5
12. Eat
13. Take kids around to view Christmas lights- maybe Grand Ledge?
14. Watch a Christmas movie
15. Let kids open select gifts
16. Usher kids off to bed
17. Watch "Christmas Story" marathon while waiting for kids to fall asleep- 2 hours at least!
18. Put out Santa gifts
19. Get stockings filled
20. Get LOTS of pictures
21. Get to sleep- hopefully before 2am.

OMG, that list is HUGE.  Oh, and if I have time, get some videos posted. I tried tonight, but they ALL stopped at 99%, and wouldn't go further. :(

We have a similar list. It's so much!

You are scaring me now I haven't even wrote out my list.
Rob Appell Dec 24, 2007, 12:12am EST
The presents are bought and wrapped...the goodies are baked. All I have to do is package up a nice, big charger of yummies and take them to my best friend's home along with his presents and place them under his tree while he's at work. He's P.O.'ed at me and not speaking, which means I won't be seeing him or getting any gifts this Christmas. Just another day for me...no big deal. With no family or any other friends; I'll be spending the day alone...again.
Alison H. Dec 24, 2007, 12:34am EST
You'd better take your vitamins, Heather!! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Is it snowing there?
CyberGwen ! Dec 24, 2007, 1:26am EST
Okay, super mom, I will stop complaining about all of the stuff that I have to do!

The biggie that I have to do is write some Christmas letters. Dumb me, thought that I would save some money and be more personal by not buying ready made cards. What was I thinking??

I also have to make a dessert to bring to my mom's in the evening....I have no idea what!
Kim M. Dec 24, 2007, 1:28am EST
I don't have much left to do. I'm working until 4pm. I have to make stuffed mushrooms for Christmas day and bake hubby's bday cake so I can ice it when we get home on Christmas night. All this is pending on an eye problem I'm having right now. I have no clue what's wrong, but there's a bump under my eyelid.
Marci M. Dec 24, 2007, 9:08am EST
You can do it....I have faith in you. Wish I was there to help play Santa. I loved doing that with you when the kids were babies. Merry Christmas niece of mine!

I forgot that I also have bread to bake- and I over slept by an hour. -mutter-
Heather W. Dec 24, 2007, 10:26am EST
Sounds like you are going to be busy! I have a lot to do too but I just want to go back to bed for an hour or two.
Ok, 1 load of laundry folded, and one load in the dryer.

1 batch of pumpkin bread in the oven.

1 batch of sugar cookies in the oven.

1 load of dishes in the dishwasher.

Crockpot out and waiting for the ham.
Karen S. Dec 24, 2007, 10:56am EST

Merry Christmas Heather. I am cooking and baking right now, as this is our Christmas day. We will have an amazing Christmas dinner tonight, and I am so excited.
El Toro Bravo de Amor Dec 24, 2007, 6:07pm EST
Oh baby! You make me tired! Mine is shorter.

Put turkey in oven
Go to the gym
lunch
mop
find the extra chairs

I'm at the "supposed to be mopping part" now. We don't have kids living with us anymore. THey'll all be here tomorrow though. And my mom and dad. We're having a cozy dinner and popping some champagne. I am going to talk my way into at least one gift tonight.
donna h. Dec 25, 2007, 8:16pm EST

Nick H. Dec 26, 2007, 9:59am EST
Didn't seem like we would ever get everything done, but we did!
