Motivation Needed

[partiallysunny]

Been traveling the last few days. Sleeping on the ILs sofa. Up early this morning. I can't wait til nap time when I can nap.

I really should take down the Thanksgiving decorations and put up the Christmas decorations, but I can't seem to untangle myself from a couch full of blankets.

I was JUST looking at all the Thanksgiving stuff that I need to put down in the basement.... sigh.

Fine. I'll go do it.

Mines down, but I still have to find the will to go downstairs and get boxes.

Should probably do some laundry while I'm down there.

Instead I'm watching Alvin and the Chipmunks (the Squeakuel).

Since 7am, I have:
Done laundry
Taken out the garbage and recyclables
Prevented the kids from killing themselves or each other.

I still have a long list. We are getting a stove from.Il's today to replace our 38 year old one. So the kitchen needs somework.

I am just having coffee.

[cuddlyevil]

DL, coffee is the only reason I have done so much so far today.

[partiallysunny]

Yay for a new stove cuddlyevil!

Okay. I've got a couple wreaths up. Now I'm getting excited to decorate. I've never had a mantel before.

[cuddlyevil]

DD and I both said the same thing "now we can bake!"

[motzie]

This is why I don't decorate for holidays. I'll do it for DD this year, but ugh.

Damn you, DL! I'm jealous.

I've managed to give A breakfast and throw her in the tub, and down for a nap. Now it's laundry time. And to make some Mac and cheese for lunch. H will be home in half an hour. Hallelujah.

I need to go out and find the rest of my Christmas stuff. DS jumped out of bed this morning and ran down the hall. When I asked where he was going, he said "to look at the Christmas tree!"

I've made coffee and given the cats lots of attention. I need to do some cleaning and organizing and switch my autumn greetings door hanger for the wreath.

I don't wanna go back to work tomorrow.

[partiallysunny]

I've got my inside decorations taken care of. No tree yet. Tonight after Crazy is in bed.

And the laundry is done!

This is an embarrassing confession.

Last year we had a Christmas tree but I wanted all new ornaments because I had redecorated the living room and the red and silver and white clashed with the new living room colors. But I didn't have money to buy all new ornaments so we didn't put any ornaments on the tree at all.

Yesterday I decided I needed ornaments that didn't clash so I decided I'm mixing bright aqua in with the white and red and silver. I HAD to go to the store and get blue ornaments. It was necessary!!!!

I'm petty.
