I am so glad to have these lists. I had an relative who died this past week after a unexpected illness. These last few weeks have been a whirlwind and I have not kept up with the plan.

We are hosting Thanksgiving and then leaving for a weekend away. I'll look back on what I missed and see what is most important for this week and take it from there.

I hope everyone has a productive week!

Mary, sorry for your loss.

I need to make more space in my entry closet. I am wrapping and baking this week and finalizing my christmas gift list...

Sorry for your loss Holiday_Mom.

I have to work Monday - Wednesday so I will do my cooking in stages each evening. That way I am not in the kitchen all day Thursday and can enjoy time with my family. I cleared some of my fall decor to make way for areas that will be used as food stations. Plus it will be less for me to take down when I start to put up Christmas decorations.

As for my entryway, the only thing I need to do is move some of my coats from the coat closet to the hall closet.

I have managed to get a few things done this week.

All wrapping and shopping is done except for one item. It is a DVD that won't be released until December 9th. We will pick it up and wrap it on that day.

I was able to get some great pictures of the kids and the dog this afternoon. I went to Walmart tonight and got them printed for the family cards.

I have all the containers I need for the baked goods that will go into the in law's package. I made cookie dough tonight and will bake the cookies tomorrow for their package.

I am getting there, but still have a lot to do.
