and I'm in the first car!
My crazy week has officially begun. On Saturday, we spent 4 hours setting up the Secret Santa Shop for the kids & had a brief PTA Board meeting. Brief partly because our agenda wasn't terribly long, but also because it was after 3 & we'd all been there since 10:30. I was so tired the rest of the day!
Today is the first day of Secret Santa & in true "can't say no" Laurie fashion, I'm working from 8-2. It'll probably be more like 230 as we'll have some parents coming in to shop with their children. I also need to make copies for Sunshine's teacher & get them distributed to the kids myself as the letter contains a request for donations for her teacher's gift. I'm making a gift for her myself, but I've found that if you go in on a joint gift, sometimes you have better options. We'll see if the parents agree!
Tonight is my Knit Night where I'll work on Sunshine's teacher's scarf.
Tomorrow is Secret Santa until early release at 12:30 then we'll dash home, get Sunshine into her pretty dress, head over to get her hair trimmed & then to the mall to get our annual Santa picture. I was so excited to find red frames at World Market last weekend when I was there. Now all of our pictures will have the same frames! We also have to work on her Mary Musgrove presentation. Not having been raised in GA & semi ignorant of the founding/early days of GA, I wasn't aware of who she was until Sunshine came home talking about her, James Ogelthorpe & Tomochichi. BTW, hearing her say Tomochichi is the cutest thing ever.
Wednesday is Hunter's surgery day. Prayers, please. Not just for him, but for me as he'll be restricted to 2 - 3 weeks w/ no weight on it. Have I mentioned that we're going to the American Girl Store w/ Sunshine exactly 2 weeks post surgery? In a mall. Where walking is required? I may have to get him a scooter.
The upshot about Wednesday is I'll have time to get some knitting done while I'm in the waiting room. Hopefully I can finish that day. I'm anticipating staying home from SSS on Thursday as well & will have time to address my Christmas cards, upload games/music to Sunshine's ipod touch that Santa is bringing on Christmas & hopefully do some work on the PTA Treasury records (filing paperwork & such). It'll also give me a chance to get some cleaning done.
Friday is the last day of the SSS so we'll break down & put away anything that doesn't sell for next year, count some $$ & head to the bank.
And then I'll just have 2 days of school to worry about ---ornament day & brownie tree decorating day. But those should be fun & less chaotic than this week.
Happy Monday & feel free to board the Crazy Train with me. I'll make room on the first car for you!
