O.M.G
I totally forgot, to put into my schedule, about delivering x-mas gifts!
Geez!
I don't know when I will have time!
My daughter is sick, we have events & appointments to go to this week, I have to run errands/x-mas shopping still.
And pending play-dates to plan....
Like when?
What have you forgotten to do this week?
Freaking out here.
And my Hubby is NOT home!
And ya know, that delivering x-mas gifts take TIME.... calling ahead to see if they will be home, figuring out a time to do it, then taking it to their house, chatting, the kids talking, etc. By the time you actually leave that home... its like 1/2 hour already past.
Ugh.
I have yet to schedule when we are having christmas dinner. we just have so much going ton that it's kind of to the point of we're having turkey sandwiches lol .
I forgot to take out the trash saturday and I'm up to my elbows in cardboard boxes and the like, I'll have to make time tomorrow and take it myself .... I hope my car is not smelly afterwards! lol
Well, I forgot to change the amount I was paying in a website online from what's owed to my weekly payment amount. I ended up making a 350 payment when I needed to be making a 60 dollar payment. YIKES..that's part of last months and this months and the bill not yet due. What a mess. I do have to say that I LOVE time warners customer service. First of all, they don't mind if we make weekly payments and that we are always paying in the arrears. They was able to stop the payment for me so that I could make the right amount.
Aw honey, give yourself a break. Do what you can & don't push yourself
too hard.
Okay so this is going to sound terrible but is there any way you could drop these gifts off leaving them safely hidden from plain view (behind a fence etc) then giving a call or sending a text to those individuals letting them you know you are sorry but you were behind and had to leave their gifts. Tell them where you left them so they can bring them in so they will not get stolen.
Take care of your sick daughter (hope she feels better soon), go to your appointments, skip the events if you can't make them, schedule the play-dates only if you need to. Maybe you could skip them until the holidays are over unless you use this time as babysitting.
Again, don't freak out.
Itemize what is most important and only (I repeat only) do these things.
Let fall by the wayside what does not need to get done.
Only accomplish what MUST be done.
A sick mom, is no good to anyone else. (meant w/love) :)
Go easy on yourself. It's the holidays, not the end of the world you're
preparing for. Good luck, take care and happy holidays! :)
