Four Days Til Christmas!!!

The shopping is done! Hooray. The presents are nearly all wrapped. Hooray! The kids have 1 1/2 days left of school! Ah, some days to sleep in will be wonderful.

I woke up this morning with a terrible ache in my back. I do not know why, except maybe the clunky shoes I wore yesterday, but I had to so dh could see me from the piano when I was directing the choir. BTW, the choir did a very good job, I was proud of them and their hard work. If only my back would feel better! I even took some Darvacet because Aleve did nothing to dull the pain. J even told me to order supper in since standing at the stove to cook was not doable for me. I won't even tell you how many loads of laundry I need to fold--but at least it's clean! I may take another Darvacet, soak in a hot tub and go to bed now.

No needlework today, once in a chair I didn't move!

I'm not a very good blogger

We've been very busy getting ready for Christmas. Last night was a Christmas party for the administration and office staff at dh's school. We had a nice time, even if we were the only ones not drinking. The all faculty party is Tuesday, we plan to go for a bit and then go out alone as long as we have a babysitter lined up.

Except for some stocking stuffers the Christmas shopping is done! We'll get everything all wrapped up before Christmas morning and put under the tree. Several people are getting handmade gifts from us, but I didn't over-extend myself, yea me!

Tomorrow I am directing the Christmas cantada at the church. I'll be glad to be done, but it has been a good experience over all. Yet, I doubt I'll do it again; many people have a serious lack of commitment.

I've seen lists of what people have completed this year on several blogs. Let me see:

Ribbed Scarf for me (knit)
Knit 'dishcloth' baby afghan - 2
crocheted baby afghans - 3
Knit baby hats - 3
Crocheted scarves - 2
Knit hats - 8?
Crocheted hats - 3
Ponchos - 3 crocheted, 1 knit
Cell phone cozy - 1 knit
Dishcloths - 6 knit, 4 crochet
Afghan for dd - crochet

I think that's all. I hope everyone has a fabulous Christmas.
