Today is the day that:<\/p>\n
1- The repair man is finally coming to fix my washing machine. It’s had a problem for quite some time now, as it doesn’t really agitate. I don’t know what I was waiting for, and why I put it off for so long to call him. Maybe I thought it would just magically start working again! Well, that didn’t happen, so I called over the weekend, and today he will come and hopefully fix my washer.<\/p>\n
2- I registered John for the “Teeny Tiny Basketball” class at the local rec center. If you want a good laugh, go and watch a bunch of 5 year olds play basketball!<\/p>\n
3- The advent calendars start! I’ve got one calendar with little pockets and the kids get to pick out something every day. Sometimes it’s candy, sometimes it’s a promise of what we will do that day. It worked out so nicely when we had only one or two kids. But now there’s five of them, and try putting 5 pieces of candy in a little one inch by one inch pocket! So, now a lot of them will be filled with little notes, or pictures, or small candy. And they have to take turns picking out of the pocket. We also have a little Advent Kit that a friend gave us. So, we’ll put it together for FHE tonight and get started on that, too.<\/p>\n
4- I will finish putting up the holiday decorations. I will, I will, I WILL. Because…<\/p>\n
5- The kids are going to school today! Not that I don’t love my kids–I totally DO! But I can’t really get that much done when they are all here messing up the house for 10-16 hours a day. <\/p>\n
