Today in short.

We woke up this morning and were surprised by the younger kids school advisor. Mom had booked an early meeting and had forgotten about it completely. So that was a fun surprise,I got out of the shower and found everybody dashing around in their PJs trying to clean the whole first floor in 0.1 minute. RIOT.

Then, I went shopping in Cedar Rapids. I found some GREAT gifts, and I'm almost completely done with Christmas shopping now. I'm not super happy about what I got Mom, but shes so hard to shop for that I'm just going to have to give this stuff a shot.

I also have to get my gift for Dad going. I'm making him, well, its sort of a scrap book. I bought a really nice album and I'm going to place all our photos and other random things from our trip to the UK and Europe inside. I hope I can get it done before Christmas though, ay yi yi.

Oh, and I had drama practice tonight as well. Man, I'm wiped. Shopping for four hours and then three hours of stupid drama. I've got to go to bed.

STAY WARM, ALL OF YOU.
