I'm feeling pretty behind on life these days. I still have that nasty cough that came home with us from Mexico, which is keeping me from getting a decent night's sleep. Which also keeps me from feeling functional during the day. The sore throat is gone at least, so that's at least a step in the right direction. Now if I can only get over the cough.
Things that need to be done:
- Put the freaking Christmas decorations away! It's February and all the Christmas decor is still up in the living room.
- Not only are the Christmas decorations still up inside, but I still need to take the lights down that are outside.
- Speaking of Christmas.... I still have about half our Christmas cards that still need to be mailed out. Face palm.
- Clean house!!! Seriously, our house is a disaster right now.
- Lots of stuff for softball needing to be done: get coaching shirts ordered for our coaching staff, order necessary gear for the season, get myself somewhat organized and start practice planning for tryouts so I can feel like I know what I'm doing when I step back out on that field again.
- Yard work. Both at home and on the softball field. So much to be done.
- Keep my kids fed, bathed, and entertained.
Oh, and Tony has a business trip this week on top of everything. Counting his trip and him being gone all day yesterday for the Super Bowl with his friends, I will be single parenting for 5 days this week.
End vent and my whine fest.

You so need an Aunt D visit. Only wish it were possible. Hang in there. Maybe you will be ahead for next Christmas!!! There's always a shining light somewhere!! Love you!! One day at a time!! & FEEL BETTER SOON!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes I do desperately need an Aunt D visit! But I am (im)patiently waiting until the time is right. As far as being ahead for next Christmas, that is a big fat NO! haha! I can't leave all this stuff out all year. I may be behind, but I can hardly stand that it's February and I still haven't gotten the Christmas stuff put away.
DeleteI hope you get better soon too. That's quite a to-do list. Take each item a step at a time. Don't try to do it all at once. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you! One step at a time. It will get done eventually!
DeleteI have been known to save unposted Christmas cards and just send them next December! You are actually 10 months ahead of the game... One step at a time, the important things will get done and the rest doesn’t matter so much : )
ReplyDeleteHa! I think I'll still send them out. Maybe... lol
DeleteI'm sorry you're under the weather.I routinely keep Christmas decor up till March. LOL! The Christmas season is too short, so I say continue enjoying your decor. That way you'll have one less thing to do today. :-D Thanks for dropping by my blog. Hugs...
ReplyDeleteI like that attitude! I'm glad I'm not the only one who takes forever to take holiday decor down. :)
DeleteOne item at a time. Hopefully Tony can help when he gets back as well?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of being behind- congrats on getting the coaching job! I'm sure that you announced it in an earlier post but I am behind in my blog reading!
Thank you! I'm very excited to get back into coaching. As far as Tony helping, well, that sure would be nice!
DeleteHope you made it through the solo parenting stretch!
ReplyDeleteStill in the thick of it! Only 2.5 more days to go.
DeleteHa ha!!!! Ugh, I don't know what it is about taking the freaking Christmas decorations down but it was mid-Feb when we finally took ours down. ;)
ReplyDeleteI finally got all the lights down outside, but my living room is still Christmas!!! (face palm)
