I don't celebrate Hanukkah, but I thought it would be a good idea to wish everyone a good one! I don't know why I like to wait until the last minute to do things. Actually, yes I do, I am the queen procrastinator. I need to work on my prep times and organization next year. I keep saying what ifs and whens to get me through the day and it has to stop. I'm getting better, but with us still being ousted from our bedrooms due to construction and Alain being sick, things only seem to be getting worse. She sleeps right below the living room and beside the laundry room. She doesn't always wake up when the floor creeks and when I run the washer, but it seems to always happen that way when she's sick. She's so tired these days. I hope she gets to feeling better soon. Meanwhile, the laundry is piling up and I really want to steam the carpets in the Living room! Oh well, maybe after the holidays.
I have a speech to deliver tomorrow. . .that I haven't written. I console myself with the fact that its only 5-7 minutes and I'm talking about how people should lose their fear of Shakespeare. I could write the speech in my sleep, the delivery on the other hand is the problem.
Then there's the workouts. Jeff and I signed up at the beginning of the year for a gym membership. both of us get paid back by work, but he gets a lump sum, I get paid per quarter, provided that I workout 25 times a quarter. I missed last quarter and waited too long this time, so now I have 20 workouts to do before the end of the month. take out the 4 days that I'll be home for the holidays and I'm pretty much stuck working out everyday til the new year. Wish me luck!
Anyway, I'm getting busy shopping for the holidays, collecting lists and getting gifts. I wanted to start wrapping presents early this year, but with a kitty and kid attrached to bright shiny things, maybe not such a good idea. I've started a daily ring around the tree tradition. I circle the tree looking for fallen ornaments and try to find their missing hooks on the floor or on the tree. Be the end of the year, I should be able to win a needle in a haystack competition! Post on ladies!

This will be our first year in a long time without a super little one running around trying to pull things off the tree. On one hand I will miss it but on the other..... not so much.
We have been dealing with the bug here too. Hope that Alaina gets over it soon. We are finally getting a little perkier after two weeks and antibiotics.
Pic, pic, pic!!!
