Get ready for Christmas and guests

It's almost Christmas and I am for the most part done with my shopping. I still need to get something for my parents and I have no idea what, so I think I'll wait until they get here and then just ask them. The point is that I am done getting the stuff I need for Christmas day.

Am I done with Edison's stocking? Not even close, but I am very optimistic that I will get it done even though I will probably be up really late Christmas Eve. This optimism comes from the fact that when I pulled out the fabric I saw that last year I had already cut it and sewed part of it together. Yay me! So I have to have the cross stitch done by Thursday so I can finish sewing Friday. Thursday I need to be doing the back stitching so I really have to be done by the end of Wednesday. The plan is to finish the right side by tonight since it is mostly done, the left side on Tuesday and what ever is left on Wednesday. I think it's possible, the only thing standing in my way is cleaning the house.

The house isn't too bad, it could be better but if I follow my cleaning schedule for the week I should be just fine. I hope.

I am having guests coming Christmas night, so I'll get their rooms ready on Christmas day. The kids will be distracted and all I have to do is wash the sheets, vacuum, and wipe the bathroom since they are still clean from the Thanksgiving guests.

Merry Christmas to all and I hope everyone can finish their crafts.

My short to do list

There are 2 weeks before school gets out (when I wrote this). I'm going to get all my Christmas shopping done by then. I'm also trying to finish Edison's stocking. If I want it done by Christmas than I need to finish the cross-stitch part by 2 weeks so I can have a week to sew it together. I'm trying to not stress out by not doing much. We'll see how that goes.
