I hate to be the bearer of bad news but next week is the last week you have before the kids are out of school. YIKES! I realize you have 100+ things left to do on your to-do list but maybe we could rearrange some items to take advantage of children being at school.
Try to get as much done next week that is secretive such as; wrapping their Christmas presents, making sure Santa has gotten everything on their list, stocking stuffers and even if you have a return or two to make because you decided on something else for your children. Nothing would be worse than a PlayStation game or Barbie doll falling out of the bag with your children in the car wondering why it is going back to the store! Good luck explaining that one!
It is difficult to finish these secret things when they are at home. If you can try to get most of it out of the way next week, that would be great! Leave making fudge bars, cookies, buying Aunt Judy’s gift for when they can come with you or help you in the kitchen. Hey…why not buy some extra aprons while you are out next week and put them to work in the kitchen. Now we are talking!!!!
Take a couple of minutes to “reprioritize” your list for next week for secret “stuff” and leave the rest for later, when you have extra help…
