At the moment I'm looking at the dining room table which is piled high with Christmas gifts and baby gifts.
Very soon Glenn and I will be traveling south (Georgia) to see two of my children and their families. One just had a new baby, hence the baby gifts. And we'll be taking everyone's Christmas, too.
I'm going to have my right knee replaced in about 3 weeks and know I won't be in any mood/shape to wrestle with wrapping and shipping boxes for Christmas.
As it turns out, some of the gifts are ungainly and heavy so delivering them ourselves ensures that they'll arrive safely and waaaay less expensively.
I did a similar thing after Buck died and it worked out quite well. All the packages will be hidden in black trash bags and we won't let the children be around when we stash them in their parents' homes.
Of course, Grandma and Grandpa have loads of fun, Halloween goodies for everyone. No candy, but lots and lots of light-up gadgets and scary things.
My next "what am I doing" will be to wrap all the gifts and have them ready to load in the car. That's this afternoon's task.
