I don't have the energy right now to do anything with that dough. It's 7pm here right now. I also wanted to do rum balls and the cookies with the cherries in them. Hubby is on duty today so he didn't get home til around 11am and left again about 5pm and won't be back until about 9pm, so I can't tell him what to do either, lol. I am not sure how I am going to get this all done by Saturday. :/

So I finally said just give me the cash man LOL I still do not have my familys calanders done and have now said they are winter gifts instead of christmas gifts =)
Originally Posted By melekalikimaka You didn't sound whiny, TiggerPooh. Being pregnant can be exhausting! Besides, you made a ton of stuff! LOL I got all of my shopping done (except for some groceries). I talked to my SIL a few minutes ago and they won't have power until late NEXT week so I have to go back to Costco and get another ham to bring out to their house. We're just going to have ham sandwiches and treats. I'm glad I can help out a bit. Thank God there is a newer Costco on the Eastside and now our Costco isn't nearly as scary. (Not one single person ticked me off while I was there today. LOL) I still have to wrap presents and finish a couple of handmade gifts and do a little bit more cooking but things are finally a lot less scary. (If I think about all of the laundry I have to do, however, I might start panicking again. LOL)
Originally Posted By SuzieQ TiggerPooh1973, you inspired me to email my sil that I am bringing ALL of the munchies on Christmas and offered to come early to help cook as well.
