where to start?

This is the week when those daily postings are going to get CHALLENGING!  I have a list a mile long of what needs to be done as I get ready for my in laws to arrive later this week.  So this is going to be my list post.......

• Mt. Laundry (I'm trying to tackle it, but it just keeps beating me).
• Christmas cards (we are doing some for our far away friends this year)
• More Christmas cookies to bake, assemble, decorate for parties, neighbors, and family coming in the next two weeks.  
• clean, that always needs to be done.  
• iron, been putting the ironing off for weeks.  Least favorite chore.  
• Junk the kids rooms, they, especially that son of mine, are little packrats.
• make a grocery list for a big shopping trip tomorrow.
• Make a dessert for Thursday nights small group party.
• Wrap presents!  

Okay, not so overwhelming when I write it down here, but teamed with keeping up with one more week of having to get the kids to their activities, and food to be prepped on a regular basis, and dr's appt, and volunteering....it seems like a lot!
I'm not complaining though......I admit, I like being busy. ciao for now.
