Can you believe that it's the 5th of December already!? Do you have a busy week ahead or a quiet one?

I am going to put the finishing touches on my Christmas decorating. I have a few more presents to buy and a couple to make, then I will be done. I am determined to catch up on my Project Life journaling this week so that I can finish the year on time. On the TLP front, we're gearing up for the December BYOC this Friday, so that always makes for a busy week.
 
Need to get some scrapping done. In particular today I need to at least get yesterday's JYD page done.

Bella and I have both been fighting the icky-gunky-sicks the past week. Each day I feel better, she feels bad. And vice versa.

Wednesday I have my next check up.
 
Hope you girls feel better soon! :hug Same 'ol week for us ;) Nothing truly special except this coming Saturday the fam and I are running a 5K together!
 
Hope you girls are feeling better soon!

This week I have to get ready for the move. The movers here here next Monday-Wednesday, my husband come home next Thursday and we hit the road next Friday. So this week I need to pack, clean and tie up some loose ends around base. Today is our last story time (super sad!) and at some point this week my husband's car should be getting picked up and moved to FL. Busy, busy!
 
I was sick ALL last week... yucky! I hope all of those sick bugs go away for you all as well.
This week I'm hoping to wrap things up for the year with designing, so I can focus on spending time with my family. Then on the agenda: build a gingerbread house, and bake sugar cookies with the kiddos. Sigh. I love this time of year.

Shannon: Eek... moving this time of year. Moving is not my favorite thing. But a new place will be wonderful, yes?
 
Krista - yes! We're moving to Tampa. We currently live in the middle of the Mojave desert in southern CA and I hate it. It's so remote - about an hour or more from any sort of civilization. Tampa is a welcome change. Plus, all of our family is on the east coast so it'll be nice to be close.
 
I'm back to my regular routine, I drove my mom to the airport this morning. :( I have a couple of evening engagements this week but I will try to catch up on my December Daily now that she's gone.
 
This week we have Haileyfest *both of my children will be singing in front of a huge crowd* I'll be finishing my Christmas Shopping for the kids and dh and am looking forward to having more time to spend on here :) chatting up with you girls and working on my designing!
 
Hope everyone who is battling the yick feels better soon and very soon!! Big Fat Boo on the sick!

We seem to have caught yet another wave of it here and I'm over it. Well at least Bugga has; I pray that she doesn't share it with everyone. She's always in much better spirits when she's unwell than DH or I. What a blessing that is! And seriously how does she do that? ♥

DH has an oral surgery tomorrow and since we live on the desert moon we have to drive to San Diego for it. So it's nurse/driving duty for me. Hoping to squeeze in something fun for Bugga if she's up for it, while Daddy is recuperating Tuesday evening. Then it's back home and hoping to finish up some designing projects so I can focus on getting scrappy and making memories. On the agenda this week: a popcorn party, some elf-y fun, the Christmas tree lighting here on base, cookie making, soup making and general holiday fun!

Shannon -- I am SO excited for you! I know the moving part can be totally stressful but I also know what a welcome change of scenery Tampa will be for you. And also ummm yahoo for DH coming home! ♥
 
Ready for the dang rain to stop first! In 2 days, we got 6 inches on top of the 5+ last month. Then, I hope I'll have enough energy to get the decorating done around the house! But all-in-all this should be a stress-free week. (Crossin' fingers & toes!)
 
I'm back in the states, which I'm super excited about. I think this week will mostly just be cleaning/making snowflakes/cooking/baking. What I /really/ need to do is study for the GREs and figure out what the heck I want to do with my life after I graduate! I went back to Stanford this weekend to visit and it was an almost perfect trip. :) I'm looking forward to going back again on Thursday for one of my best friend's birthday.

Sara, I hope Bugga gets over the sickies soon! That's so awesome that she manages to take it well. I'm always miserable to be around when I'm sick.
 
Book fair, PTA meeting/choir concert, hair appt to add into my regular work and home schedule....sigh
 
Sounds like we need some chicken soup here! I'm not sick, but I am sooooo tired. I am just not adjusting well to my new job, the commute, split schedules. I kind of want to hide under my desk and take a nap - and I just got here! Looks like it's going to be a busy week though. They finally have me on a lot of projects! Maybe too many projects, but I'd rather be busy than bored!

I had a fun weekend: did lots of scrapping, some shopping, watched the nephew, saw the Descendents. Our tree is out of the basement so we're getting closer to being decorated!
 
I'm not sick, but I feel worn out. Had both boys birthday parties (a joint bowling party) this weekend, and our guest list of 12 was decimated by the flu bug and we had only 5 guests attend. I've got 3/4 of a DQ ice cream cake in the freezer now (and I hear it calling my name...oh Heaaaaaaaaathhhhhhhhherrrrrrrrrrrrrr!).

Work work work. 2 deadlines this week, and just got a bug report sent to me, so that means at least one late night. Normal busy activities this week with the family. Hope to finish and photograph the tree sometime during the week. This coming weekend, my youngest is in a Hi-Lo doubles bowling tournament (pee-wee division), and my oldest has a football fun gym night as a final party for the team.
 
Still plugging away at DD (so thrilled that I have managed to keep up with it since I started Nov. 27)... DH still working OT at UPS... still hanging out with kiddo. Some small things this week: Christmas craft at the library, sending letters to Santa with my stepson (hoping he will write one on DD's behalf), a surprise package from my mom for Miss Monkey that Mom refuses to tell me what's inside.

I'm looking forward to lots of fun Christmas-y things this weekend, but I know we will have a thread to post those in, so I'll zip my lip for now. :)
 
We are moving next week too. This week is quiet for the start, there's not much one can do in a house with no stuff, just furniture. I can't clean yet because we still have to shower and eat. My best friend is flying in Friday and DH will be home Friday night and his family are also coming Friday night. We are having a big family dinner Sat night, then a huge farewell Sunday with all our friends.
 
We've been battling colds so it is a very low key week for us, just trying to get through my work week..
 
It's just a busy work week for me. My one day off I have my hair appointment (washing out the grey!!), and I think I'll get my son's package all boxed up and sent off to him.

I just got switched over to my new computer. I don't have any actions in CS4 yet...I need to get my faves loaded up and maybe try scrapping this week.
