dreading the week ahead..

Okay dread is a strong word.

However, there is a lot on the to do list/calendar to complete and Christmas is TWO weeks away and I am fighting a cold! I have a few more gifts to pick up and I'm done, but I'm usually completely done by now. I'm grateful I have everything I've purchased already wrapped, but I'm not looking forward to heading out for the last few gifts this week. 



Tomorrow is my normal shopping day, but after writing my list I'm scared of my spending total for the week. There is nothing on sale that I need and hardly any coupons, we are planning on baking our holiday cookies on Friday, and we are out of some essentials like paper towels.UGH!
