Why do I do this? I know not.

Recipes and such therein :)
I am currently quadruple tasking. Why, you ask? Well because apparently I thrive on stress and must be overwhelmed, over scheduled and over listed. Just today I have to:
-school the kiddos
-print off pictures/xmas cards
-go to PO with packages and xmas cards*
-go to Target to get JD and Dave their gift for Nana Xmas (sunday)
-go to grocery store to get supplies for co-op craft for coop party and things I need to bake/cook
-bake 3 different cookies(maybe just 2) and assemble non-lcoholic Wassail for said coop party
-make grasshopper cheesecake for Nana Xmas since my nephew who loves cheesecake will be there**
-clean house
-encourage children to clean their rooms and the playroom
*Be not offended if you do not gt a xmas card and I have your addy. I have cut my card giving WAY down. I just don't have the time, energy or desire to kill trees. :)
**we ike to tell my 12yo niece there are REAL grasshoppers in it, hence the name 'grasshopper cheesecake' and the green hue. We do this with a straight face, and to this day she will not even taste it because she is not sure. I am evil. Aren't you glad I'm not YOUR aunt?
OK...it is now 4:30pm and I actualy got most of that stuff done. Cookies are not made, nor is the cheesecake which I realized I can actually make Saturday. The cookies, however, need to be made tonight. But right now, I am going to sleep for 30 minutes while my children are upstairs building box forts. Eh, I hear screaming...nevermind.
Hubby's Grandma, who is 2 mo shy of 99, is dying. She is asleep most of the time now, and won't eat/drink much unless they feed it to her. She no longer talks and I am sure she is getting ready to 'get on the bus' as we like to say. I am praying she has a quick and easy crossing. She isn't ill, just at the end. She has come this close before, then somehow rallied...not sure why or if someone/thing is keeping her here but Hubby went to see her today and said she ooks really bad so this time will hopefully be it. Any kind of prayers you like to pray for her are welcome, Her name is Margaret.
Sigh...my children have moved on to beating each other. I guess I should intervene...
