Okay I have the day home - since no kids in school means mom has day off work, right?
So I need to make a list of all the things I'm going to accomplish today:
Clean my bedroom!  It seems to be the room where everything goes when it doesn't have a place to go. wrap gifts (that would help in the clean my bedroom part too) package cookies so I can freeze gift certificates for Jeannie's store in...

Day 17

Zach found this on our tree.  Had to put in his bug catcher...

  I so needed this day with my busy weekend!  Whew!  Now a day home to get some stuff done.  Now that's what I call perfect timing!
