Thank you for maintaining such a informative site. this website happens to be not only knowledgeable but also bvery imaginative too. There normally are a limited number of people who are capable of write not so easy stuff that creatively. we are on the lookout for information on something like this. We ourselves went over several blogs to come across information about this.We look forward to the next posts !!

Thanks for writing Jill. So glad to hear you’re avoiding the holiday dreads. Keep it up!

Peggy, I’m with you: I’ll take baking over cooking any day.

Susan Wisdom’s right: it’s hard for many of us to delegate. I’m getting better…I think?

I am looking forward to Christmas for the first time in a long time, and it is in a large part thanks to your work, Wednesday! Thanks for what you do. It had made a big difference in my life.

I love the art of delegating. This is hard for control freaks who have to have everything done their way. So it’s either exhaustion – doing everything yourself – or resignation – accepting the efforts of others, perfect or imperfect. I vote for the latter. Try it, you’ll learn to like it.
Thanks, Wednesday for the tip.

This is how I’m letting someone else do it.

Richard and Junior are doing the heavy lifting – the dining room turned office is getting a remodel on Sunday (we’re a family of procrastinators…but it will get done before Christmas Eve!) and the room will morph into a library/sitting room with couch and everything.

I’m paying my youngest step daughter to come over and clean on either Monday or Tuesday. Bathrooms and Kitchen will be all sparkly (good for me) and YSD will earn some cash (good for her)

Richard does the majority of grocery shopping and cooking (did I luck out or what?), I will be doing a lot of baking this weekend with my neice.

I’ll be putting gift baskets and goodie bags together. And finishing my grand daughter’s blanket…the one I started in February…
