I've Accomplished Much, But It Looks Like Llittle

I spent the majority of today doing the dreaded laundry. Yes, lucky readers, I hate doing it, and I procrastinate. I will wash clothes...then I start a clothes mountain. Everyday I dig through the mountain to find clothes for myself, my children, and on occasion Hubby too. All in all, I folded the equivalent of 8 loads of laundry. That was 6 loads already done, and two I washed and folded today. I also decided to go though the 8 boxes of linens lined up against my bedroom wall, sort, condense, fold and re-organise until I have a permanat armoire or cabinet to put them in. Then, I figured I'd start packing. With the exception of toiletries and hair care, Hubby and I are packed. I even got out clothes for us to wear for the next 2 days, just so there is no confusion. Hubby will be pleasantly surprised to see the room when he gets home tomorrow...more on that in a bit...

When Mom & Dad came over yesterday, they brought our presents in these big nifty felt bags that say "Merry Christmas" on them. So I put all the presents for the girls from "Mommy & Daddy" in one, and all the gifts for the family members in the other. I switched out my purse from my "Gone With the Wind" screen print one to my Dooney & Bourke bag. Somewhere in the day I also managed a load in the dishwasher. I am not tired. I want to do more. I am SERIOUSLY considering going through the house and emptying trash & the cat's litter box. But I am leaning towards finishing up Santa Business for Hubby. We are only doing stockings for each other this year. We thought it was more important for the kids to have a good Christmas. Plus he got me a WICKED gorgeous watch for our anniversary back in October, so I don't feel the need to get anything else from him 'til Valentines Day. ;)

So about Hubby: His boat pulled in early by 2 days. We were surprised, but it's a good thing. He got his leave squared away, and I don't have stress about him getting in trouble for going out of state and not showing up to work or whatever. He had duty today, so he's not home. Maybe that's why I got so much accomplished. He wasn't around to suck me into his evil EQ2 vaccuum. I hope he notices the difference in our bedroom. I worked hard on it. Emily was gone most of the day too having gone off to her little friend Justin's grandfather's house with their family. Justin's Grandpa LOVES Emily. Almost every time she's gone there she's come home with a new toy. Today it was 2 new ones *sigh*. And to think I just cleaned out that toybox.....

I dunno why I am telling you all this. I still feel pressure. I know I didn't get some things done today that I needed to, and I did do some stuff on the list for tomorrow.....So maybe it'll all even out in the end....

ok, Present wrapping time...*sigh* Or maybe I'll try to get sleep....

On a side note: I was VERY sad to see Cute Daniel booted from Project Runway this week. I think it should have been Santino. I can't stand that arrogant little bastard. And his designs suck too BTW.....
