Every couple of months or so, some crime drama will have an episode that features a soccer mom hooked up in some kind of meth ring. Their excuse is always that they just needed to keep up. I can see the appeal! Not that I would ever go there, but if I didn't have to sleep, I could get SO much more done!!!
I may have over extended myself a bit this holiday season. This year I decided to make the gifts I'm giving. Unfortunately, I spent lots of time planning and didn't get supplies until last Friday. Now I find myself in a crunch because I have to have most of my gifts done by the 21st, our family Christmas. I also have gifts that need to be sent off by the 17th. In addition, we are having an 'Ugly Sweater Party'. It will be the first adults party that I have thrown and I am super excited, but the prepping, planning, cleaning, decorating, etc..... I'm feeling a bit like the walls are closing in.
To combat this feeling, I have decided to make a plan that will allow me to get everything accomplished. Here it is, lets see how close I can come to actually carrying it out!!
THURSDAY
