Christmas rush

Here it is, December 19th, and I have not finished my shopping. That is putting it nicely...it isn't that I haven't finished it is more that I have barely started. You would think that this isn't a big deal but I know that come the weekend my shopping will get limited. I have to get my gift shopping done and my food shopping done. I decided to cancel my Czech lesson for tonight and go into town and do some shopping. I want to finish the gift shopping done so that I can do the food shopping tomorrow. Luckily I pre-ordered the meat so I can pick that up on the 23rd. I was surprised that they even have pick up on the 23rd since most shops are closed on Sunday and then shops are closed the 24, 25, and 26th. I guess since the shop I ordered the meat at is a shop that caters to expats they are open. I will be happy when it is all done. It is not like me to leave everything to the last minute.

We have also been pretty busy this week with dr. appointments, vet appointment, and grooming for Watson. Today was Watson's grooming. He desperately needed to be bathed and to have his hair trimmed. While we waited for Watson the girls and I hung out at a playground. It makes me laugh when I think, "I can't get anything done b/c I'm playing at a playground.". I guess if that is my only complaint I can't really complain. The girls had a great time even though it was freezing out. I've learned to be wise in my dressing of the girls. They go out with many layers and when it is cold like this they go out with snow pants on. I don't want to hear "I'm too cold" so I bundle them up. Now we are home and I'm exhausted so I guess I better try to rest before my shopping frenzy tonight. :)
