Things I accomplished today.
Dec. 16th, 2006 11:31 pm1. Did morning duty with Alex, who was up too early despite having gone to sleep too late.
2. Went on a two-hour shopping spree with Alex, during which we obtained:
4. Finished plans for tomorrow's Religious Education class.
5. Helped Michael put away laundry.
6. Baked seven dozen cookies, five dozen of which go to
telerib's cookie exchange tomorrow.
7. Cooked dinner.
8. Unpacked and set up the hot-steam vaporizer.
9. Did the first hour of putting-Alex-to-bed.
10. Hit the grocery store and did a week's worth of grocery shopping.
11. Washed the dishes - not usually my job, but when I came home I discovered that there had been an entire second hour of putting-Alex-to-bed, because she kept coughing herself awake again. So Michael was a little bit behind.
12. Ordered a Christmas present for my nephew Andy.
On the schedule for tomorrow:
1. Go to church. Teach Religious Education.
2. Long-Range Planning meeting after church.
3. Hit the mall for the last two presents on our list. (This time, don't forget to buy a card for Meaghan's Christmas bonus.)
4. Cookie exchange and caroling with
telerib.
5. Finish wrapping and packing up gifts that will be mailed.
6. Start painting the little table and chairs Alex will be getting for Christmas.
Possible alterations to tomorrow's schedule:
1. Be up half the night responding to Alex coughing herself awake.
2. Do 1-3 on the planned schedule, and then send Michael caroling and stay home with sick child.
Got to love those relaxing holiday season weekends.

- Present for Michael.

- Stocking stuffer for Alex, ditto.
- Card for my sister Juanita's present.

- Miscellaneous other drugstore stuff.
