Holiday Recovery

Currently Reading: I'm up to chapter 10 on Embezzled Love! I think I know where this is going...but it will be interesting to see how it plays out! Ginger's doing an excellent job of portraying how lonely women can excuse almost anything in the early stages of new love! And if you missed it, I posted my January books yesterday.


Yesterday was a fun day, meeting the mom of one of the teens who frequently hangs out at my house and eating a delicious meal which someone else cooked!

S and I went to Walmart and purchased a litter box, litter, scoop, combo food and water dish, and a red collar for Oreo. He seems to be thrilled to be allowed to leave the confines of the bathroom, and has been discovered investigating the pantry shelves. He also likes to hide under my nightstand when Miss Drama Queen and her brother Mr. Energy get too rambunctious with him.

He thankfully has quickly caught on to what he is supposed to do in the litter box!

Today I have to return three items: A pair of pants that are too small (K) and two packages of socks that are also too small (D).

We've also decided to rearrange the bedroom and set up another set of shelves so D's clothing is not piled on the vanity table. I had hoped to get W a toddler bed, but it looks as if the child is destined to sleep with his brother for at least the next 18 months, when K leaves for college.

I'm also sending out the last of my Christmas cards today! Will I get my package mailed? I'm not sure.

For lunch today, I'll be emptying out the fridge, and for dinner, turkey burritos are on the menu. The weather is supposed to be nice; I can throw the kids outside this afternoon to burn off some energy! Being cooped up inside the house the past two days have been hell, as this house shakes when young children are trying to play tag! And since the teens were downstairs in the basement playing Guitar World Hero, this created a tiny space problem. Jae? I'll trade you...I'll take Z and you can have my three, hahahaha....:) I keep telling myself, 'only one more day...only one more day...'

If you've not checked out The Grip this week, please do so. They have been talking about villians this week and it has been very entertaining!
