December 15th...9:21 a.m.

Well, today was my last day without children to finish up some shopping, get my hair cut, and have my eyebrows waxed. Guess what? It's not going to happen. Schools in all of the nearby counties (including ours) are closed for the day. So, we are going to sort through Lily and Shelly's toys to donate items to Hurricane Katrina victims (Lily's idea). I am sure they will also spend some time chasing one another throughout the house and leaving their precious toy items in spots from room to room. So, although none of my to-do list will be accomplished, we will laugh and snuggle all day.
