I feel accomplished… I spent ALL day wrapping all the gifts that we need to ship, then boxing them up, adding postage from online and setting them by the side door. My carrier pick-up is scheduled for tomorrow. You know what that means? I successfully did ALL of my Christmas shopping online and I didn’t even have to leave the house to ship my packages. Pretty nifty. My mail carrier is going to love me tomorrow. Thankfully she is a friend (or was..) LOL Hopefully she’ll have room in her litte rural route jeep to fit them all. So after $139.42 in postage later (Thank goodness for flat rate boxes or it would have been much worse)… I am done… – with that anyway. We won’t talk about Christmas cards yet.

The boys have been fighting a cold and I think I finally started succombing to it this evening as well. It’s a weird one… Sore Throats, a little runny nose & cough, but TONS of eye discharge. Blech. I thought perhaps it was pink eye, but their eyes never really got red, and Ryan and Christian seem to be almost over it. They said their eyes didn’t hurt or itch at all, but they sure had yucky stuff coming out of them – especially in the morning and evening. Dane is still fighting it a bit and he does say his eyes hurt periodically… so we’ll see what I’m in for. I might have to haul Dane and I off to the Dr. tomorrow – we’ll see. I hate getting sick right before the weekend – there aren’t walk-in clinics around here… Hopefully we can keep Matt healthy with Christmas just around the corner.

Tomorrow night is Ryan & Christian’s big school Christmas Musical, so we can’t miss that for anything. They have been practicing soooo hard and are extremely excited!

Matt is off at dartball, and I think I am soon off for bed.
