Happy Homemaker 2022-11-27

Good morning

Last week was residual headache and coughing from covid, but better now.  Super-uber busy at work and will be like that for awhile.

Grankids came for supper on Wednesday and Thursday.

My built-in oven was no longer working on broil and now the control doesn't work anymore.... so we found another one on marketplace, but it was 2 hours from here on our way to my parents.  So Saturday morning we picked it up (it isn't plugged in yet so no idea if it works or not but it should), then we went to my parent's house - I had brought lunch and sis brought supper.  we helped mom put up her Christmas tree.  One brother and niece came to see us and help with the Christmas decor.  

Sunday we had breakfast at sis's house with my 2 brothers and then we headed home.  Got here around 2:30 to unpack.

While my parents were at mass Sunday, I had 1 hour to get rid of 'stuff'... got 2 big garbage bags out of the house of just junk.  

We picked up a vaccum (dad told us to take it as mom doesn't use it), a 3-ski winter sled (was looking on marketplace to buy one last week - so that's a winner), some bubble bath (brand new 4X) to add to the kids' stockings, 2 small stockings (for dd's new kids), 2 small toy cars, 1 old toaster (wanted to throw it away but dh said he wanted to look at it first, sigh...), a dozen Christmas cards (she doesn't use them anymore and I needed to buy some) and some outdoor solar lights.  Darn! more stuff coming in the house.

Today we are babysitting as daycare is closed .  Educator has a meeting with govt agency to get his subventions.

On my mind 

So much to do!  Even though I'm working towards Christmas I feel like I'm behind!  Cards are ready but don't have the stamps, no food done, not much done on the gift-front... sigh...

Too much pressure at work, too much to do.

Mom.
