AS PROMISED

Photos from the Concert! Little Big Town was AWESOME! Now, you can see just how good my seat was!!!!


LOVED Carrie Underwood!
Can't wait to see SugarLand next!

Slacker!

I'm done shopping!!! That is ALL I've accomplished. I still haven't worked much (aka - at all) on my projects. I'm pretty sure that I need to stop slacking and get moving on that because they are SOMEONE'S Christmas presents!!!! I just feel so worn out by the time Little Hauss goes to bed that I don't want to get all the supplies out and paint. Hopefully tonight will be better beacause Hubby is home to help! Might even persuade him to cook dinner and do bath time!

I've been told a few times in the last week that I'm slipping! By whom, you might ask? Hubby!! He woke up to get ready for work las night and went to get his dinner out of the fridge to take to work, and all I heard was, "Mac and Cheese?, Really?" with Salmon, no less!!!!! Well, Little Hauss wanted mac and cheese. I had salmon on the menu. I prepared it with a balsamic and honey dijon glaze! Sounds fancy right? Well, it kind of was. I LOVE to cook and usually have a whole meal planned with complimentary side dishes! I'm getting lazy! After this week, I PROMISE to cook a great meal - without "kid" food!!!! Ok, maybe next week, AFTER Christmas! At least he's not taking peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He should be thanking me!!!!

I have nothing....

Any Ideas?

Think I'll mull it over and see what I come up with??? Hmmmmm!

NO TOYS.....

WAS my motto for Christmas. Little Hauss is 3. He's really starting to understand that Santa will bring him a few things on Christmas morning to play with and he's asking for things! Things that I'm a little confused about but oh well. He is relentless! OVER AND OVER AND OVER! Don't worry, I won't forget! I promise. He tells Nelson, our Elf, what he would like, so Nelson can tell Santa.
He's been mentioning drums for a while. Um, yeah right! I want him to have a great Christmas, but I also want to hear myself think! No brainer!!!! Well, Mauggie (Mother in-law) might get him some "drums". If not, we are considering it. They are ELECTRONIC!!!!!! It has VOLUME control! SWEET! I can deal with that!
Here are a few things that Santa will be bringing him. Also is a handheld Diego game that we can take with us on trips in the car and places that he'll have to wait (Dr. or restaurants) as well as Spiderman watch, the Bee Movie, and Cat in the Hat Movies. It really isn't much, but he's 3!!! We have toys coming out the arse! In fact, I need to some "cleaning" soon. I try to go through his stuff and get rid of old, broken or beat up toys and then put the ones that he's growing out of and sick of in storage. I'm pretty sure I can open a used toy an clothes store in my attic!
Electronic Drums! They have VOLUME control!









Transformer Toy








Now, all I have left is to get a few stocking stuffers! I really am looking for spiderman or some character body foam!!! I have a few little things like a slinky, crayons, card games, and some candy, but still need some stuff! Hopefully I'll get that done tomorrow and then I can concentrate on wrapping!!!

Magic!

I would just like to let you know that I did in fact sleep well last night. I still was up until midnight or so, but didn't stir until the alarm went off! Thanks to my little friend, the beer (or 2 or 3)!

Oh, and I usually don't work Fridays, but due to my long weekend, I am working today - not - happy - about - that!!!!!!

PROMISE

To post the CLOSE UP pic I got of Carrie Underwood at the concert I went to with all the cousins!!! Great concert and great seats!

ONE

The number of wrapped gifts under my tree!
Now, you may thing that I'm getting on the ball after my previous post about not having anything done, but don't be fooled! The gift under the tree is MINE! Yep, Hubby took advantage of my trip out of town to purchase and wrap one of my presents. Must be nice being him! He only has to worry about me. He tells everyone he got married so he didn't have to remember birthdays, cards, gifts, anniversaries, etc. That's what I'm supposed to do!!! I don't mind, but this year I'm swamped!!!
Little Hauss wants me to open it really bad!!! He asks everyday if its Christmas yet so I can open it. I wonder what he'll do when they multiply??? That's if I get it all done!! HA!! At this point, everything might just be from "Santa" and laid out when he wakes up Christmas morning (they are unwrapped if they are from Santa).
I'm so busy these days, you'd think I'd just fall out at night, but no, I'm wide awake until at least midnight!!!! AND, you'd think if I'm that awake, I'd make good use of my time and work on the many painting projects I have to get to people for gifts to their loved ones before Christmas, but no, I don't! In fact, tonight, I'm spending my night with this:


and a great friend. Hopefully it will make me sleep better!!!
