Your insane rant welcomed here! lol:giggle
 
Haha! I don't have that much at all-- just keeping the house livable and driving 90 miles to watch my Abby's first track meet today-can't wait to see her do the hurdles!
 
Oh my goodness, Anne! My head would be spinning as well.

I don't have too much extra stuff going on. The kids don't have school parties, just projects to wrap up and final exams to study for. Kaylee does have a lot of choir stuff happening - her 3rd and final holiday concert is tomorrow night - and Girl Scout stuff. But we shopped for all of her various gift exchange items a couple of weeks ago and she wrapped all of them herself last night while I was gone with Matthew to an appointment. I do have to do some xmas project stuff for DH today, and we really haven't tackled much of the Christmas shopping yet. I'm feeling very relaxed about it though. I think I'm in denial. :giggle
 
Ha, dont get me started! I will just focus on ONE of the things driving me crazy. BIG GAPING HOLE IN THE CEILING OF MY DINNING ROOM. 3 different repair men, 8 different repair trips - 4 WEEKS LATER -

IT IS STILL LEAKING!

Insanity right here BABY!

Thanks Anne, I needed that!
 
I'm waiting for the mail!! I ordered a bunch of stuff from Kohl's online. It's all here, except the two things I need to mail!! Hoping they come today and trying not to stress out about it.

I'm also going to start wrapping presents today. :)
 
Still haven't got my tree up nor have I started my Christmas shopping...this weekend it will be done.

As for extra curricular, I am now grateful he has his license as i stay home unless it's a game.

There are just the two of us so very quiet at home, however things are ramping up at work.
 
Omigosh... have you been in my kids folders and through all the papers... plus my email. Between Holiday Parties, Book Fairs, work, mom, this and that, I've shut down. LOL!

I need my own private planet sometimes!

i hear you Anne. My head is spinning with the same sorts of things, bring-a-plates, pay for this, this and that by the end of school, pre-order drinks, snacks, bread rolls and BBQ chickens for various school functions and round up volunteers for and attend each... Normal scrapping program will recommence in approximately 6 days! (I hope)

Anne, I feel you!! This week hubby traveled, so of course, needed his hair cut for traveling. I SUPER hate doing hair cuts! I took both dogs to the groomer, only to find out one dog's vaccines had expired, so they couldn't groom her, and the other was 2 days from expiration. So, next day, both dogs went to the vet for vaccines = $425!!! What?!!! Apparently it's costly to keep your pets from turning rabid! Tuesday was my turn to bring snacks for robotics...40 kids needing snacks after school... I made it from the grocery to the school just in time to drop off snacks before they all died of starvation! :giggle This week was orchestra concert for both boys. I also got High School prep email with about 8 BILLION dates for things we're required to go to. Things are picking up at work, which is great, but also extremely busy! And no one seems to be wanting to look for houses in my home town, so i'm driving an hour or 45 minutes one way for these showings...but I won't complain about having work! Today we are driving to Illinois for a meet, then turning around and coming home tonight. Tomorrow is an open house, and hopefully we can find time to have dinner with out of town friends who are in town visiting for the weekend.
Oh, I forgot, pay for gymnastics team pics and school yearbooks and coaches' gifts --- all of those things happened this week as well!
On top of that, it's special events week at school - can food drives, holiday parties, changes to the menu that I have to try to keep track of! Can you help with the party? maybe lead a game or a craft? Errrg! All of this on top of the typical 5 days of gymnastics practice and Friday night lacrosse that is par for the course. And, the worst of it is that hubby has a new machine installation at work that isn't going well, so he is home late, and has been missing all of these events...which means it's all falling on me to get the kids where they need to be and not lose track of anything. I am SO looking forward to winter break!!

Could it be semi-private? I would love to join you!!
 
I have to tell you I do find a tiny bit of happy that we are all being bombarded...that it isn't just me!
 
I honestly don't know how all you young Moms out there do it, there are three adults in this household for two boys and we still have to ask for help from the other Grammy on occasion in order to cover all the bases. I know it wasn't like this when our kids were growing up.
 
I am there too Anne. Need some scrapping therapy before I lose my ever-loving mind!
