Before the madness..

Hello all, this will be the last sane piece from me...my home and all other parts of my life will no longer belong to me after I leave work today! Quite frankly I think it started yesterday...

So Monday I arrived at work to get a few things done before heading to wrapping booth...no phone no internet...plow truck had taken all the wires down to the building. NOW you can not just call Verizon and ask them to put them back, your phone and internet people have to come here see that there are wires down and call verizon and tell them, That takes three days by the time each call is made! That was just a wee bit on the frustrating side!

Tuesday night was the first Bay School/Sedgwick basket ball game of the season, always a true rivalry. We do not have nearly the team they have this year and although Tyler was having a great game we were behind by 14 in the 4th then all of a sudden he caught us up and it was a two pointer. We lost by two but Ty scored 37 points, 16/21 from the foul line. It was amazing!

Wednesday was Carolines flight into Portland, what was supposed to be flurries eventually developed into a coastal storm so once again, I was driving in snow and darkness, I have been doing that alot lately. She put on a new cd I had and sang and we just got into a groove and moved along. Made it! Probably not the best weather to have driven it but it was good to get her home. Thursday ended up being a snow day for Ty and he had his buddies over and they took over the house...the beginning of the end of my control!!!

Today, Friday Alex arrives, and well, the kids will all settle into vacation routine, and then family will arrive and it will be utter chaos. NOthing is wrapped, and my list is growing not shrinking, I still do not have the final count for Christmas dinner, and I am not even sure I have the final menu! So the house is clean..right now, and I know whats for dinner tonight and after that....its flying by the seat of my pants....I dont like not having everything done, and in order but there is no two ways around it, the older these kids get the more disorganized and not ready for it all I get! There is just always much much more to do!

So let the madness begin....Happy holidays to you and yours Gretchen

Kym in the Gym tha...

...Making me feel guilty....let me know if there is anything I can do, bring extra of, or whatever a person CAN do on one good leg and you know I will try. I mean that too! We will try not to interfere with your family time either...Deed and I and our kids can hang out at Kathi's or Mom's. Just say the word and we would clear out. But, mostly, let us know how we can help..and this is about REAL help, not the Mom kind!
