The last month

I can't believe a month has gone by already.  Things have been very busy around here.  With the holidays starting up, they have kept me hopping and I haven't had much time to do much of anything but work and try to get the house ready for Christmas.

R has been working crazy hours.  This is his first day off in over two weeks.  With the murder/suicide here of a major NFL player and his girl friend things have been very busy for him.  That on top of his other work plus his freelance stuff has really been keeping him busy. 

R's family will be at our house this weekend.  I've got so much to do still to get us ready and only of tonight to finish getting ready as his sister and brother-in-law will be here tomorrow by the time I get home from work.  Thankfully R is welling to help get the house cleaned up.  Yes, he is one of those enlightened men who will vacuum the house when it needs it.  (I once gave him a birthday card that said "There is nothing sexier than a man with a vacuum") 

I know what I am fixing for dinner on Saturday when R's entire family is at our house, about 20 people or so.  But still need to figure out Friday dinner and Saturday/Sunday breakfast and lunch.  R has promised to do the grocery shopping.  I do love that man (even if he does spank me).

Speaking of spanking - R has made time for that -  I think they can always make time for that in their lives.  He's been doing sneak spankings.  Yes, when I least expect them.  R was setting on the stairs and I bent over and lend on them to talk with him and the next thing I know there is a hand landing on my butt over and over.  Standing in the kitchen doing the dishes.  Making the bed.  Picking up the cat toys off the floor so I could vacuum.  I'm starting to be afraid to bend over when he is in the house.  But it is hard to do things around the house without bending over. 

I was able to get all my Christmas shopping completed and the presents are wrapped.  I still have a couple to put bows on (I "Martha Stewart" my gifts) but they sure look pretty under the tree.

Hope your holiday's are going well.
