Almost Christmas

Well, we are only 2 sleeps away from Christmas now, and I am finally getting into the Christmas spirit. And I'm almost ready for the day too! lol We've been working on cleaning the house today because it's a huge mess and I hate coming home to a dirty house. Plus, when we come home we'll be bringing all of our Christmas gifts, so that alone will create a mess.

This will probably be my last blog entry until after Christmas. Tomorrow at around lunchtime we're going to head out to my mom's and won't be back until the morning of Boxing Day, and we're planning on spending that day at Jamie's mom's.

We had our washing machine looked at and the seal on the pump is what's leaking. The guy said if we had our washer and dryer in the basement with a drain close by, we could have kept using it that way for years, but because it's upstairs (and on my hardwood no less) with no drain, we can't use it until it gets fixed. Which could be tomorrow (which would be awesome!) but it likely won't be until the new year. So Jamie is at Gary and Verna's right now doing a load of our laundry so we have clothes to pack, and the rest I guess I shall bring to my mom's and get done tomorrow afternoon. As if I don't have enough stuff to haul over there already. Oh well.

I finally got a memory card for my digital camera. It only took a year. I really wanted to get one before Christmas so we can get some good quality pictures of Addy's first Christmas and then we'll also have it for in the hospital when the new baby is born. When Addy was born, we had to use the lowest resolution and the pictures suck. I have some that I took on the old camera, but I underestimated how many pictures we would want to take, so we didn't have enough film. But you live and learn, I suppose.

Well, I guess I should get back to my cleaning. I want everthing to be done today, so tomorrow morning all we have to worry about is getting ourselves ready and doing our last minute packing like toothbrushes and stuff.

Merry Christmas to everyone!
