Holiday Baking...DONE!

I woke up this morning with a list. Ok, this is not abnormal for me. I'm a lister - I make lists for everything! I rarely remember to look at them but I think it helps me remember when I write it down. And so this morning I woke up with my daily to-do wish list. Of course, like usual, it had far too much on it and there was no possible way for me to do it all. Maybe I should start putting just one thing on my list at a time; one achievable goal that I will actually get to and finish and thus give myself a feeling of accomplishment. Yeah, I don't see that happening.

Today, along with finalizing my Christmas shopping, grocery shopping, playing games with my kids, doing the chicken chores, making dinner, and doing laundry, I finished my holiday baking. Yes it is done. And tonight the ending was much happier - Diesel is currently sleeping peacefully on his bed in front of the heater.

Here's what I made today....

Cream Cheese Mints

The stars are now decorated

As well as: Pretzel Turtles (thank you very much Andrea Duffy), Rocky Road fudge, and dozens and dozens and dozens of those yummy little peanut butter balls that everyone loves so much!

It's 11:15pm. I just got finished folding 5 loads of laundry. I sat and had a cup of tea and a piece of my homemade biscotti. I'm writing my daily confessional. I'm tired. But I'm going to my Aunt Peggy's tomorrow for a Christmas gathering and so I must continue folding, getting the kids stuff packed and vacuuming. Yes, I vacuum at midnight. I know, I'm nuts.
