With Ben off to the Dual in the Desert I was left at home to hold down the fort. He claims that I gave him permission last night when he woke me up...but as I have no recollection of this, I am pleading the 5th. Either way I took the opportunity to serve an oh-so-healthy dinner of pizza and juice, throw on a couple of Christmas movies compliments of Netflix, and sneak away to start wrapping up a storm. As I was setting up I realized that there are no labels to be found throughout the house. So...each kiddo picked out their favorite paper and I went with it. Now there are 4 matching presents under the tree for each kiddo. A good start for only the 2nd day of December. Here's hoping that Sugar and Spice leaves them alone when he gets up for his nightly invasion of my bed.

YOU ARE AWESOME!! Does that sound like I'm yelling?!?! I was trying to be you tonight and that's why I am still up at midnight. I watched Paul's kids so he could go do military stuff so I had to leave school at 3:15. We got home as they drove up and then I raced back to school as I forgot my phone. I fixed homemade soup for dinner and Jennie helped me take down Thanksgiving and start putting up Christmas...start is the operative word. I watched the BIG game, graded papers, and remembered that I am helping serve a staff breakfast tonight so off I went to the store at 10:30. I made a hashbrown casserole, a danish and poppyseed mini muffins. Am I done yet?!?! How do you do this all!! I still need to decorate the classroom, oh and catch up on my gradebook. Thank heavens sub plans are made. Now to clean and hit the bed!! Ach!!
