1. Solicit parents in Emma\u2019s class for $ for teacher\u2019s Christmas gift.<\/p>\n
Done, now I just wait for the money to trickle in.<\/strong><\/p>\n 2. Solicit parents in Hunter\u2019s class for $ for teacher\u2019s Christmas gift.<\/p>\n Done, now I just wait for the money to trickle in. <\/strong><\/p>\n 3. Solidify plans for Hunter\u2019s and Emma\u2019s class parties next week. Yes, I am a room parent for both classes, crazy I know.<\/p>\n In progress.\u00a0 Went this morning and cut out winter themed die cuts for making door hangers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 4. Drop off the girls at Gretchen\u2019s house (thanks!) so I can go work at the school\u2019s holiday shop. I\u2019ll be helping the kids buy little things as gifts for their family. My job is to keep them within their budget.<\/p>\n Done.\u00a0 It was so fun to see the kids trying to find the perfect gifts for Grandpa or baby brother.\u00a0 Especially fun to watch Emma because she used money she had earned herself.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 5. Finish sewing costumes for the ward Christmas activity, A Night in Bethlehem. I have one tunic finished so far, but have 4 others that are only just cut out.<\/p>\n Done. Got one for all of the kids, and Rob and I went Toga, wrap a sheet around you style. It was a nice party too.\u00a0 Great turnout!<\/strong><\/p>\n 6. Get fabric to make some humanitarian blankets for the victims of flooding in Mexico. They have to be turned in on Sunday.<\/p>\n Done. <\/strong><\/p>\n 7. Sew the blankets, I have one finished already.<\/p>\n My goal was 3, but 2 was ok too. <\/strong><\/p>\n 8. Start to Pixie !<\/p>\n Done. Although as we were unloading the kids to leave it on the front step, guess who came walking out of the garage? Oh well.<\/strong><\/p>\n 9. Clear a path through the house so that the repairman coming this afternoon can find the repairs he needs to make on our running toilet, and exposed carpet tacks.<\/p>\n One done, still waiting to hear back from the carpet guy on getting the tacks redone.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 10. Trip to the post office to mail a package.<\/p>\n Did it this morning.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 11. Finish shopping for Christmas.<\/p>\n Almost done!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 12. Keep up with Secret Siblings – we all drew names on Thanksgiving and are supposed to do something nice for the person we picked every day until Christmas. I\u2019m also doing Hannah\u2019s and Sabrina\u2019s. Maybe should have thought this through a little better\u2026<\/p>\n Maybe not something every day, but I made an effort. <\/strong><\/p>\n 13. Grocery store trip for the basics.<\/p>\n I decided to use a\u00a0 coupon from Vons.com for free delivery and got them online.\u00a0 A cool thing, but they arrived at 10:30 at night instead of between 4 and 8pm that I had signed up for.\u00a0 The poor driver\u00a0 was way overloaded when a guy called in sick, and it was also his birthday!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 14. Write off any cleaning, because realistically, it\u2019s not going to happen this week!<\/p>\n Yep, didn’t happen.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 15. Send Rob a cute email message or call him because this is our only communication until his deal at work closes on Friday.<\/p>\n Done.\u00a0 Thanks to Hallmark.com\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1.
