I have about half our shopping to finish and I've got almost no money to do it with! (long story). This weekend was supposed to be the big shopping finale but we've got a HUGE snowstorm expected and I'm afraid if we head down the hill to shop, we won't be able to get back home. DS and I may take the dog with us when we go and stay in a hotel (free nights due to DH's travel for work) if we can't get home.

Well, I still need to find a few things I bought a couple of months ago that I hid away lol. Also need to buy 2-3 more things. and pack up everything/finish up everything to go home. I am 90% done I would say. Our cat got accidently trapped in the present closet though , and I have yet to determine the damage lol.

I still have to finish shopping, should be done today !? I have not even begun cooking yet. I usually have at least the buckeyes made and 4 kinds of fudge. I have to get that done by tomorrow because the first "family" party is Sunday. OY! Dunno when I'll get all of this wrapped ... Maybe I'll tell the kids we are saving trees this year and not wrapping HAHA

Okay, I have a good excuse for not being done like I usually am, I JUST MOVED!!! I moved from Texas to Arizona over Thanksgiving weekend. Let me tell you, this is NOT the best time of year to move!!! Yesterday I finally reached by breaking point at work. I've been at my new job less than 2 weeks and yesterday was my first day working by myself. It was pretty bad!!! I had doctors constantly asking me to do more patients and I had NO place on my schedule to put anyone. Talk about stress!! Then one of my new co-workers called me in the afternoon and told me what I did wrong the day before when I worked with him, so I reached my breaking point at that moment. I stopped to shop the last 2 days after work and I've already worked 38 hours this week before I even go in today. But, I finally finished the package I need to ship back home so I will go to UPS today and get that out. I still have my son's big present (as soon as I figure out what it's going to be) and his stocking stuffers. I am EXHAUSTED!!! The holidays are stressful enough by themselves. And starting a new job and moving are HUGE stressers. Add all that together and I guess I should be happy I haven't had a nervous breakdown!!!!!

All I have left to buy is stocking stuffers for dh. I still have lots of gifts to wrap yet, will do that this weekend. My cards went out the 1st of Dec so that's taken care of. Plus I'm going to decorate all the Christmas cookies I baked and froze so they're ready to hand out!

I have a couple of more gifts to buy. I have to do grocery shopping to buy for my youngest dd's class party and groceries for our dinner on Christmas Eve and Christmas. I have all the gifts wrapped that have been purchased. I don't mail a lot of cards and have those ready to stick in the mail. I'm about 95% finished. |

I am done! Done with shopping...unless I do the impulse thing, which I hate. Done with Christmas cards,mailed them out last week. I'll be done with grocery shopping tonight- I'm getting it done then. I do have a few and I mean very few stocking stuffers for the kids and DH. I think the kids actually might have enough but DH only has a chilis gc in his so far, lol.

My shopping is almost done. I've wrapped a few. My kids are dying to wrap so I told them they could wrap everything for everyone else except them. I don't like it wrapped though until I'm done shopping. Christmas cards are written, but we are going to the Nutcracker tomorrow night. I like to take the girls picture when they're all dressed up to put in the cards. I haven't done any of the baking yet. I plan to do that, make 2-3 batches of fudge and buckeys on Sunday (if we don't have any showings on the house) and put together the gifts for the teachers (school, dance, piano, busdriver, etc.) We're having cinnamon rolls for breakfast Christmas morning. I make them the night before and bake them while we're opening presents. Whew. I think that's it. And to add to it all, I have a job interview Monday morning! Aahhh!!! Lisa

My gifts are all bought but I still have to wrap alot of them. I am in charge of DD's Christmas Party at school, I need to make goody bags this weekend for that. I am also making goody bags for our Native American Club Christmas party. I am in charge of our church food basket/toy drive, so next week I have to organize all the food baskets, buy items with any money that has been donated for turkeys, hams, toys, canned goods, etc. I need to mail packages tomorrow. I still have not done my Christmas cards.
