One week to go.....

So, I went through the pile-o-gifts tonight and I think we're good. Santa is done, just a few family things to finish up and we're off! This last stretch is always hard. I am home tomorrow-thank goodness. School is getting out early with the impending snow so it's off to the grocery store with Paige before school. I can do that and make it back in time to walk her to school. Duh duh da dahhhhhh-I am........SUPER MOM! Cape and all. Don't laugh, someday after I get the kids ready for school, commute to MA with the other morons, work all day to implement programs no one wants to follow, commute home, drive the kids to dance, do homework, make a healthy meal, read and wash up the kids, clean off the kitchen counter for the 18th million time, pack everyone's stuff for the next day, then do a load of laundry while editing photos and post here, I am really going to wear a cape the next day. Maybe something in brown. Velvet. To match my eyes.
Back to the holidays. So we sent out our cards. You should receive them soon! I did not include a letter this year. If you are disappointed don't be-it would just be a summary of all the cool things I write here! And after last years embarassment I could do without it anyway. Oh you don't remember or didn't notice? Let me remind you.
I wrote a paragraph for each of us. Paige about kindergarten, Katie and her antics, me with photography and Mark about fishing. Oh yes, I bragged about the 42 inch fish he caught on 07-07-07. I even checked the spelling but thought I had it right. Mark proof read it too. I think he liked it that way. I didn't even notice until a friend emailed us and asked if that was her bust or her inseam. Oh yes, about 80 of our closest friends and family were told he caught a 42 inch stripper instead of a 42 inch striper. I am a pretty cool wife but I draw the line somewhere!
So happy holidays to you all in case I don't get back here. Or maybe I will write more since we won't be able to leave the house for awhile with all this white stuff coming!
Keep warm!
