One more week !! At least it is supposed to be milder so the kids can go out to play. They were sent out for morning recess and lunchtime, but had to come into the school off the buses. You see, parents don't always dress the kids properly so we couldn't let them stay out in the cold.
Last Sunday I did not get any baking done. I always underestimate the tine it takes me to do the stockings. I keep adding more details ! However they were well received. L's husband couldn't believe that I had actually hand knit them . Well knitting is something I do very quickly because I have done it for so long. Now I should put all my supplies away. And wrap gifts, and bake and decorate and.....
Last week was very long at work. Having the concerts the first week makes the second very difficult ! this week, there could be carol singing, parties etc which means it should go a little quicker. The ' EA' has bee noticed leaving 40 min early for lunch, just as she always used to do. So infuriating. I am sure she is laughing at the rest of us who put in a full day's work, or even more. Who do work at home and plan and prepare. Her lies are growing. She talked of being on a special diet before her colonoscopy--- yeah right. Again she keeps telling the RN who has also had the procedure. One of the problems that the three teachers she works with do not want her in their classrooms. They also figure that as a responsible adult she should do what is right ; not take off from work. My hubby figured out that she has probably gypped the taxpayers of around $80 000. Just thin if there is one like her in every school !! She tells Teacher A she is with Teacher B, and Teacher B she is with Teacher A. Over 20 years of this !
I finish the last row so now I start to sew them together. Just have to figure out the best way to do it Which to me. Means fastest and easiest.
Today we went grocery shopping and picked up another turkey At $0.95 a pound. You cannot get a cheaper protein. The Hubby and YS went to p I know up an electric fireplace for the basement. Course he can't use it til he finishes the place. So that was his Christmas present, done and dusted. Later YSA cleaned the lights downstairs for me, taking the globes down and washing them. Then he pried the rubber tiles off the hot tub deck and we brought then in to get off all the ice which had built up. So we have been busy, but aside from a banana bread in which I put dehydrated sour cherries, no baking was done.
Menus have been planned. I need to write up a list of last minute things for Christmas Day like radishes, green onions etc. I bought a large amount of Brussel Sprouts ! Some of us really love them ! I am thinking that I might make Creme Brûlée for dessert. I've never made it before, but I did buy some cute little bowls for the dessert !
We have warmed up, but the wind is horrendous. Freezing rain maybe tomorrow. I hope not as I want o pop into Walmart to look for some heavy socks for the guys. Other than that, I guess the shopping is done !
I've just popped the potatoes around the roast so it's time to have my shower before supper is ready. Another week of school awaits !
