Catch -Up

So much is going on that I just can't seem to find the time or energy to blog. The girls have been exchanging germs constantly. Makes it a little scary with B's cold induced asthma. I am trying to keep outings down to a few so that my thumb suckers are not putting germs right into their mouth. This means I stay home more. YUCK! I did get their thumbguards by the way. Hope to start theses over break.

Winter has caught me be surprise this year. I have not done most of my pre-winter list. So now I am playing catch up. I finally got around to putting plastic on the windows. Yes, old house=plastic to keep out the wind. I hate doing this. I have been doing it for the past 8 years and even Tom noticed that I am getting really good at it. It is not that it is hard work, just a pain in the butt, plus I have to cover about 9 windows. I actually ran out of the plastic so I didn't even finish. More fun tomorrow I guess.

On the plus side I am just about finished with Christmas shopping. I have not wrapped, but I have gone through all the loot and even found things to return. Some out of town gifts have been shipped too. This is really just to prevent me from buying more stuff. Once I am finished I just stop looking at adds and thinking about it all.

As for decorating the house... not there yet. I tried to do it today but, not so much. I just kept finding other things to do (like the windows). I did move furniture around to make room for the tree. I still might tackle the mantel tonight since I am tired of looking at the fake fall leaves that are on it now.

I have also been working on teacher gifts. As soon as I finish I will post.

Funny moment:
Driving yesterday past a strip mall and A asked me if we could eat lunch at Bellybuttons. What is bellybuttons? I looked around to see that I drove past a Potbellys. Bellybuttons, Potbellys totally get it now. I laughed and told her it was Potbellys.
