We have a FB site here where I live called "Pay it Forward". For some reason I clicked on it tonight. There was a single mom on there and all she is asking for is a bottle of Aveeno baby wash for her son who has eczema. We were at the store earlier and saw a bottle of it on clearance. I told her we'd run back tomorrow and see if they still had it and if so we'd get it for her. I checked her out on the page and she has gone through all her son's old toys and gifted the ones in good shape to a new family. She offered to give me the change she had for the baby wash. I told her it was our Christmas gift to her. Honestly, this makes me so thankful for all the things I have. I don't have to worry about buying soap. I just go out and buy it. I am so blessed.

I have been eating too much junk the last few days. I feel gross.

And when did fortune cookies stop putting actual fortunes in their cookies? I want to hear that I'm going to come into some money, or will have a great year. I don't need some inspirational quote.

 Yes, they are.  Here we are counting gifts to make sure everyone has "enough".  I mean we buy our kids soap and stuff as a STOCKING STUFFER!  I can't imagine hoping and praying that this is all I can get for Christmas.  It makes you realize how much you have and how you need to not take things for granted.

On Christmas eve the bells were rung, on Christmas eve the mass was sung/ The damsel donned her kirtlesheen, the halls were decked in holly greens/ forth through the wood did merry men go, to gather in the mistletoe.

I still have to shower. Will be going into work but only for a couple of hours. I have timesheets and such to approve. I have to renew my car registration first. Town Hall doesn't open until 8:30.

I actually have everything ready! We are doing presents tonight and dinner tomorrow. This year SIL and I have taken over all the food preparation. It is also the first year that my parents will be joining us at my inlaws.
I'm excited.

Heading off to work this morning - sending all but one client home for a few days to have Christmas with their families. Christmas is a hard time for my population and they are both ecstatic to be home and terrified of what that will bring. And sad for the one that doesn't have a home to go to. Also thinking of the little one who discharged herself last week and is likely living in a shelter right now. :(

Ugh. And I have a question.
About five days ago I noticed a weird smell in Bunny's room. Like a very strong mildew/rotting odor.
After I washed absolutely everything in his room, I found the smell was coming from the closet.
Yesterday, I took everything out of his closet. I didn't find anything!
Everything smelled fine once it was out of the closet and there were no damp spots or anything.
Something died in the wall, didn't it? I can smell it through Bunny's closed door with the closet doors closed.
Husband "caught a whiff of something" when he stuck his head in the closet.
It's strong enough to make me gag, but Bunny hasn't seemed to notice.
Is it okay for him to sleep in there?

Yes, if it is a decomp smell, unpleasant but not hazardous at all. It should go away after a while....

 

There are products you can get at the home improvement stores to put in the closet to help with the smell in the meantime.

Tang, I would avoid the room for Bunny for at least a week or until the odor was gone. When small animals die in a wall it takes a long time for the odor to disappear. Sorry.
One pie baked, a shell is in the oven and the Zuppa Toscana is started!
Let the merriment begin!
Hope you all have a great Christmas Eve!

I have a short day. So far the phone hasn't even rung. I stopped at Chick Fil A for chicken biscuits on my way to work this morning. It is just me & the boss today so I figured we'd have a yummy breakfast as a treat.

Morning.

Tang. Get a big box of baking soda and open it and put that in the closet. It will absorb the odor.

And I would not expect my kids to sleep in a room that makes me gag.

Someone has to be here 24/7 now. We put just about all the gifts under the tree and Nephew and Niece cant seem to leave things alone. And they are sneaky about it. You would think at 17 and 14 they would know better.

I just have to put the stocking stuff in the stockings and get the small boxes I haven't put out under the tree and we are done.

Our family get together has been set for Saturday. Mawmaw said she would come.

Just have to keep the house clean today and do some baking and assembling. This evening the kids will do the rice krispy treats.

So when do you leave IKWTDS? Want to slide by and pick me up?

Hope everyone has the merriest Christmas possible. Starting now.

Three pies cooling. Soup is simmering. The house smells wonderful!
DH and I are going to pick up the prime rib this afternoon. Just the two of us. A nice afternoon date is in order.
I am content.

 Friend invited herself,  DH, and kids for Christmas eve dinner.  Then a few days ago said DH and son weren't coming.  Then yesterday she said she was sick and she and daughter weren't coming either.  Now everyone is coming. I'm just irritated with the games.  I went to a lot of extra trouble planning for 6 instead of 2 and now they are just playing games. Never again on a holiday.

Red and green cup cakes
Potato candy
Pigs in a blanket
Cheesecake bites
Rice krispy treats
Cole slaw
Meat balls
Mini sandwiches

So far that is all I can think of.

Tonight will be a grazing night.

She invited herself and her family? Wow, she's got some nerve! I bet she isn't bringing anything to help with the meal either. Gosh, I hate those type. no

DH calls them wisdom cookies. Do the fortune cookies you get have a word in Chinese on the back? The ones here do and when I was pregnant, DH got one that said daughter. The restaurant told us they'd give a free meal if the cookie was correct. It wasn't.
