So much to do

Richie's parents are coming on Saturday and staying with us for about 10 days. We have done nothing in preparation and now I am starting to panic. We have our tree up, but I did not decorate the house like I normally do. I just did not feel like it and sometimes it is such a hassle putting it up and taking it down. I know, we all know that feeling. Richie brought down the decorations about 3 weeks ago and I told him I did not want to put them up. We had a conversation it went:
Richie- "Are you sure you do not want to put this stuff up?"
Me- "yep"
Richie- "Don't say you are sure and then change your mind and make me dig all this stuff out again"
Me- "I am sure, I don't want to put it all out" (whiny like)
Richie- "okay, then..I will put it back" (In our Xmas storage area)

So, do you think he will be upset when I tell him I have changed my mind??

LOL. I was looking around last night and wanted a few things out. I thought about getting candy like hersey kisses and M&M's just to have around the house. I thought to myself, where is my Xmas dish? Guess where it is...Packed away with all the decorations. I will break the news to Richie tonight when he gets home. When he complains...I will just tell him to stop being a Scrooge and get into the Xmas spirit. I can almost feel his eyes burning a hole through my head as I sit here and type.

I am also trying to do my last minute shopping. I still have not completed my list. Geez. Richie and I went out last night and did some shopping for him. He desperately needed jeans, so we went and got a few pair for him. Yay! One present down.

I am trying to put a menu together for the 10 days Richie's parents are going to be here. Breakfast and Lunch= not a problem.. Dinner is the pain. I figure I need to plan for 8 days, excluding Xmas day and one night we will probably go out to eat. Richie's Dad has had bypass surgery, so I am very conscious about preparing food that does not have a lot of sodium and fat in it. That rules out any thing in a box or a jar. It really limits our selections. Fresh fruit and veggies is the key. I need to go to the store and figure out what I am gonna do. Wish me luck ............
