Morning my friends! How was your holiday weekend? Ours was great and I've already shared our pictures with you, so I won't bore you with them again. I can't WAIT to catch up on all of your blogs and see how you celebrated Jesus' birth with your friends and family.
On Saturday, me and the hubster and daughter got up and went to Costco to get a few groceries, ran to Wal-Mart and the mall to take a few things back (surprisingly, the mall was not that busy) and then came home, cooked dinner and relaxed watching movies and tried to plan our upcoming getaway for a few days - though we never did decide by this point.
Yesterday was a very busy day for us - I actually got to sleep in until 10:00 a.m. - WOW - I NEVER do that - I must have been very, very tired! The hubster had to go to work yesterday, so I got up and began my day - here is what my day consisted of:
1. Prepared a turkey and put it in the oven to cook.
2. Washed 5 loads of clothes.
3. Cleaned out the Large Pantry.
4. Cleaned out kitchen pantry.
5. Packed away all Christmas things except for my Christmas tree (I love my tree and want it to look at it as long as possible)
6. Cleaned out kitchen cabinets and put stuff in boxes for donation.
7. Prepared dinner - turkey, gravy, corn, rolls.
8. Ate dinner, finished laundry, cleaned kitchen.
9. Looked online to try and decide on a final place to go on vacation on New Year's Day for 5 days. (still didn't finalize as we were planning to go North and we watched the weather and we have a straight week of snow moving in on us here and all of the Northeast)
10. Took shower and dried hair.
11. Took daughter's boyfriend home to his mom's to grab his stuff so I could drop him off at his dads.
12. Made dinner plans with daughter's boyfriends parents for New Year's Eve.
13. Took boyfriend home and spoke to his dad about him going with us snow skiing this weekend.
14. Got home, finished up last minute stuff, prepared clothes and purse for work today.
15. Laid down in bed beside the hubster to watch tv - and to think, all of this was BEFORE 8 p.m.
Whew, talk about a busy, busy day - I was really tired last night and was actually in the bed by 8:45 to sleep! Even though I got almost 9 hours of sleep last night, it was very hard to get out of bed at 5:15 this morning to get ready for work after sleeping to 7 a.m. and later most days while on Christmas break.
So.... that's my weekend recap - how about yours? What all did you do this weekend after Christmas?
Well, I guess I'd better get my rump off here and get ready for work - I hope all of you have a wonderful day today and for those of you lucky enough to have this week off too, I hope you are still being able to spend it with your families and enjoy your time together - or maybe you are lucky enough to get to enjoy some peace and quiet for a change instead after the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Whatever you do, I wish you a very wonderful and peaceful day today. And since I do not like to have a post with no pictures, I thought I would leave you with a picture of what we are in for this week - again - UGH!
Old Man Winter:
Lots of love and kisses,
Trac~ :o)
