As most of you know, December 23rd is Charley's birthday. December 24th is Christmas Eve. December 25th is Christmas. While this is merely three days in the grand scheme of things, preparing for these three days has taken weeks. And this week is particularly busy, as I'm sure it is for everyone.
I had so many things to do this week, that I had to come up with a schedule. It's hard to believe that even though I'm not even working right now, I still have to come up with a schedule to organize my time. Maybe the kids make things busier? That's what I keep telling myself anyway. If nothing else, they make all these menial tasks more time-consuming and chaotic. The portion of my list that I've completed so far includes grocery shopping for Charley's birthday and Christmas (yes, grocery shopping with two little kids is absolutely NO fun), finding party favors for Charley's party (which included three different trips to three different stores), last bit of Christmas shopping for Brian and wrapping his gifts, wrapping gifts for a Christmas Eve party at our friends' house, baking some Christmas cookies, laundry, and cleaning up some of the mess outside from Brian's yard project. And what's left? Cleaning my entire house, assembling Charley's birthday gift, baking and decorating Charley's cake, preparing food for the party, and decorating for the party. And this is just MY list.
The good news is that Brian (along with some help from his buddy Robert) got all the sod laid down in the yard, so we are hoping the yard will be in good enough shape for all the little kiddos (all 20 of them) on Sunday. However, he still would like to put up a gate on the steps in the backyard, clean up all his yard gear, haul some garbage to the dump, assemble Charley and Zander's new swing set, and hopefully help me with the birthday present assembly. Oh, and he only has one day to do all this (tomorrow) because he has duty at work today and Saturday. Hopefully I'm married to Superman!
Can anyone think of anything I'm missing?
