GOOD NIGHT

LInda - I am confused - you refer to your DH as best husband in the world but have ex MIL?  Does this mean you have a new model?:

Chris - I also do as much in advance as possible.  I even set the table and pull out the serving dishes and utensils and put little stickies on them so I know I have it covered - I do this days before.  I try to make the actual day as stress-free and last minute as possible by peeling, chopping and cooking for the days prior - because, there is no question that something will come up.  I think you have just convinced yourself that you are bad and have become a self-fulfilling prophecy.   Either way, we can't be good at everything, right?.  

I will try to be more organized in the future.  My house is always a mess - kids are messier now than ever - so I put off cleaning 'til the last minute and then run out of time.  (I vacuumed the downstairs 3 times in 2 days - stuff just keeps getting tracked...) So I'm rushing around cleaning and trying to get food started.  And my DH tends to collect papers and things on the dining room table.  We have a new computer that he's been transferring things to from the old computer and it has been on the dining room table since the day after Thanksgiving.  Just put the Christmas tablecloth on the table yesterday morning!  Maybe next year we will be more organized.  Definitely can't be good at everything - I'm still trying to find something at all.  No career - not domestically inclined...  maybe something someday.

I still haven't taken the annual kids-in-front-of-the-Christmas-tree picture for Christmas cards.  Guess I'll have Happy New Year cards made instead?  I'll have to insist we take a picture tomorrow so I can do cards on Tuesday.  I didn't do cards at all the last 2 years.  First year because I was pissed that no one wanted to help decorate the tree and last year I was waiting to see if they learned their lesson from the year before.  Tree went up last minute.  So I didn't bother.  This year, I decided I was going to do it, but was so busy with my project, I didn't get around to it.  Happy New Year cards it's going to be.  

Chris, if you have to vacuum three times in two days,no matter you don't have time to cook.  Time for those males to take off their shoes and help out....

you guys have been busy and that is what happens i guess when most of you are snowed in, lol.  RCN  I never put up a tree cause the boys (17 year old twins going on 15) refused to bring the decorations up stairs and I couldn't carry them this year, so I brought the fake tree I bought them years ago and put it in my room and decorated that.  I have ADD so I have things scattered all over the diningroom table cause we don't sit there.  They are really immature with the ADHD and the twin thing.. they are sleeping now at 10am thought they would shovel for people to make money, guess not.  Want to go out cause I have to take gifts back to Walmart and KMART cause don't want them, sounds mean huh...would rather have the money to pay bills cause I haven't worked in 3 weeks. I am going to be the one to go and dig me out, it is about 12 inches is what I hear or at least that is what it is at Philadelphia airpot...

The teenager girl thing is way annoying, my oldest granddaughter is 15 other on 12 and on her way to being a teenager at 12...would never wanta go back. Oh and I hate to cook!!!

First day in a week to be home alone, so I can clean.  I can't do it the way I like when DH is home, because i tend to clean deep, which means everything gets moved, emptied or cleared off.  It also means things look a bit messier until they get completed.

I have just a wee bit more to do in the master bedroom, then to the master bath.  Ants have been coming into the house when tit rains and I have bait all over.  I want to sanitize the counters and get everything back in it's place.  

Busy, Busy Day!

Have not gone out yet it is still snowing hard and blowing hard, maybe another hour.

Good Morning.

I don't have any complaints so far.

Snow stopped so all the public transportation including buses and Metro North where I live.

Its cold and blowing but the sun is out.

Linda...Do you have power?

TV is ony covering the weather.

I dont know how many hours more we have to hear the same thing over and over again.

All 3 Airports are closed.

My neighbor/friend brought me a delicous sandwich.

My father as usual he is complaining about everything,

neighbor must have taken a break cause he did my driveway and sidewalk, and George went out and did the rest.  Went out cause had to get the money in the bank but they gave me gift cards from the stores so had to borrow the money from george to pay the cable bill......does it ever stop!!

RCG, FIL (who is NOT the best) was married 3 times so I have 3 MIL's.  LOL!  The current one is the same age as DH who is the best DH in the world!

Sandy, get those kids to help you!

STOP vaccuming or I may have to refer you to the housecleaning thread!

Been out in the snow for hours, playing, shoveling and snow blowing.  In to warm up and then back out.  The wind is unbelievable!

Sheila?  do about what?

Having a cup of hot chocolate. My legs are numb.

Are you bored, Sheila?

Good Lord, I am surprised the trees in my back yard are still standing with this wind.
